Definitions for "Freeze-frame"
A method of transmitting still images over standard telephone lines at a rate of one every 8 to 30 seconds.
A still picture during a movie, made by running a series of identical frames.
One method of transmitting still images over standard telephone lines. A single image is transmitted every 8 to 30 seconds. This feature is useful in a medical consultation. It allows the consultant to get a well framed and focused still image of a lesion or other item of interest for closer examination. Often images captured from a live video source are of higher resolution than the live video picture and as a result may provide more diagnostic value.
