Various levels of data transfer bandwidth allow for a variety of image transmission types and uses. The types of image transfer and interaction which are possible at each level of data bandwidth are characterized herein. Factors which affect the image which results from the transmission are govemed by issues such as image compression, as well as the possibility of local re-synthesis of portions of the imagery utilizing computing power which may be available at the destination. The ability to transmit varying qualities and types of images can be utilized for purposes ranging from still image transmission, to motion in portions of the image area, to various frame update rates of full screen moving imagery. The application of digital transmission to possible formats for HDTV are also explored.
