Motion? SSTV doesn't handle motion at all.
Amateur SSTV is NOT an "original" thing from hams but rather
an adaptation to stay within shrinking RF spectrum on VHF and
above available to amateurs.
VHF and above? While there are those using SSTV on 2m and above, most
SSTV is done at HF, Leonard. Real ATV is done at 70cm and above.
If it were ever standardized as to
scan rates and bandwidth, there would be a chance for
improvement. As it is, it remains a novelty, something good for
the editors of QST to crow about.
SSTV has been in wide use on the HF bands for some decades now, old boy.
That would hardly seem to be a novelty.
