Mode family
Robot SSTV modes
This family page groups modes by shared timing style and operating role.3 rows are implemented by SSTV Signal Desk; reference rows document public analog SSTV history and compatibility.
| Mode | Family | Status | Duration | Frame | VIS | Color | Sequence | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BW24 | Robot | Reference only | 24 s | 240 x 320 | VIS 9, 10, 11 | BW | Y | Robot B/W 24 is a monochrome Robot row with component-specific VIS entries listed for red, green, and blue component use. |
| BW36 | Robot | Reference only | 36 s | 240 x 320 | VIS 13, 14, 15 | BW | Y | Robot B/W 36 is the 36 s monochrome Robot row with component-specific VIS entries; green is commonly used for BW images in the OK2MNM note. |
| C12 | Robot | Reference only | 12 s | 160 x 120 | VIS 0 | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Robot Color 12 is the 12 s Robot color-difference row; it is useful for understanding the short Robot color family below Robot 24/36/72. |
| C24 | Robot | Reference only | 24 s | 160 x 120 | VIS 4 | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Robot Color 24 is the catalog form of Robot 24: 24 s, 160 x 120, YCrCb color-difference coding. |
| C36 | Robot | Reference only | 36 s | 320 x 240 | VIS 8 | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Robot Color 36 is the catalog form of Robot 36, the highly compatible 36 s mode often used for public ISS SSTV. |
| C72 | Robot | Reference only | 72 s | 320 x 240 | VIS 12 | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Robot Color 72 is the longer 72 s Robot color-difference row, trading airtime for more chroma detail than Robot 36. |
| R24 | Robot | Supported in app | 24.002 s | 160 x 120 | VIS 4 (0x04) | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Robot family analog SSTV operation and compatibility reference. |
| R36 | Robot | Supported in app | 36.002 s | 320 x 240 | VIS 8 (0x08) | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Fast color SSTV, commonly associated with public ISS SSTV reception. |
| R72 | Robot | Supported in app | 72.005 s | 320 x 240 | VIS 12 (0x0C) | YCrCb | Y-RY-BY | Robot family analog SSTV operation and compatibility reference. |
