Abstract
A ten second interval of audio frequency information is sampled, digitized, and stored in a memory. It is then read out of the memory very many times faster, say 400 times faster, converted to analog, combined with television synchronizing signals and transmitted as a signal television frame. That signal is received, converted from analog to digital, stored at high speed, and then read out at an audio frequency rate, to thereby recover the original ten seconds of audio frequency information.
