Freeze frame television

Freeze frame television: Television in which fixed ("still") images (the framess 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.
