A fax machine is a device that can send a copy of a paper document over
the telephone network.
The sending fax converts the light/dark areas of the printed document
into noises.
These noises travel through the phone system and are received by
another fax machine.
The receiving fax machine converts the noises into printed marks on a
piece of paper - making a copy of the original document.
Faxes are:
◦ Low quality - images are especially poor
◦ Slow to send (compared to e-mail)
E-mail is a system that allows messages
to be sent and received by computers. E-
mail is the most common form of
electronic communication.
Note: The camera is usually TV quality - must better than a standard webcam.
The system uses the following hardware:
Video camera
Monitor
Microphone
Loudspeakers
High-speed network / Internet connection
Instead of using the normal telephone network (designed to carry voices using
analogue signals), VOIP systems send voices through the Internet as digital data,
just like any other Internet data (e.g. e-mails, files, webpages, etc.)
In other words, VOIP systems use your Internet connection to send and receive
phone calls.
All media upload sites have rules about the type of media that you can upload - you have to
either own the copyright to the image / music / video yourself, or have permission from the
copyright owner.
