Encyclopedia > Freeze frame television

Freeze frame television: Television in which fixed ("still") images (the frames of the video) are transmitted sequentially at a rate far too slow to be perceived as continuous motion by human vision.


For an image of specified quality, e.g., resolution and color fidelity, freeze-frame television has a lower bandwidth requirement than that of full-motion television.

The color television signal from later missions was supposed to be "live", but in fact NASA had equipment on the ground that would delay the signal before passing it on to news agencies.
If the color component frames were sent one after the other instead of in a combined signal, then it would take three frames from the camera (one red, one blue, and one green) to produce just one color frame on the television screen.
If you freeze a frame of the color television coverage during an abrupt movement of the camera or subject, you can see a sort of rainbow effect where each color component captures the object in a slightly different position.
