that is beast.

How does that work? Each tone represents a pixel's color and that program interprets it?

[gregofeight]

@TheFXGuy Basically yes. It's also similar to how old school OTA TV works, the difference being that your TV uses the light spectrum, rather than audio, and it also has a lot more bandwidth.

[gregofeight]

Yeah, Sony VAIO VGN-NW250F

@Shintaka9009 Nah, more like I'm a nerd who doesn't get out enough, ahem, at all. :)

This video went viral on Vilnius

[heavyhammer31]

where exactly do these sound files appear? do they appear in-game or are they just hidden in the game files?

[BerlinDavid]

I use RX-SSTV its freeeeeeeee

[HurricaneSondra]

yes, the program if it is an sstv program, will intercept the tones as pixals. it then "draws" out the image as if it were sent from something like an ipod touch camera. really neat mode of communication.

[maradona108]
