slow scan
<microscopy> A system of video scanning in which the time used to read each line has been increased in comparison to standard video.

The bandwidth needed to faithfully transmit or record the signal is reduced in inverse ratio to the scanning time. Slow scan allows the video signal to be transmitted over a telephone line, or line scans to be registered on a chart recorder.
