I don't know if Robot Research is still developing for the consumer field,
but they have (had) a unit called the R1200C Color Slow Scan TV Converter.
It takes standard NTSC color video, frame grabs on command, then transmits
the data as a bunch of warbling audio tones (suitable for phone or radio
use). The technology is quite advanced now in the Amateur Radio community.
If you want further info on SSTV, email me.
