◊

Some teletext/videotex standards offer more than alphanumerical characters. Like the Canadian Telidon, which used vector graphics. These are Telidon images, made by Jacques Palumbo in 1986.

Meanwhile in Japan, videotex was more complex: it was alphaphotographic. That is a combination of text and hi-res photos. It supposedly worked like a fax machine for the TV. See Captain.

Telidon (1978) was a Canadian videotex service with both text and vector graphics. It could be used for mass communication on TV, or two-way communication using modems. Telidon required more complex decoding than its competitors, normally using Z80 or 6809 processors. Via.
