Freeze frame television istelevision in which theframes of the video are transmitted as a sequence of still images at a rate far too slow to be perceived as continuous motion by human vision. The receiving device typically displays each frame until the next complete frame is available.

For an image of specified quality,e.g.,resolution andcolor depth, freeze-frame television has a lowerbandwidth requirement than that of full-motion television. For this reason,NASA, which refers to this technique assequential still video, uses it onUHF whenK_u band full-motion video signals are not available.
