This part of a Canadian developed and manufactured Telidon graphics decoder-terminal. Decoder used with Anik B satellite for TV Ontario node experiment. This was experiment at four schools in Northern Ontario which provided access for students to databases in Toronto, proving feasibility of providing access to services in remote areas equivalent to those available in urban areas (ref 2). The Telidon program began on August 15, 1978 and ended on March 31, 1985.
Function
Used to input data into Telidon decoder, which decoded Telidon signals received via Anik B satellite.
Technical
This was third generation Telidon decoder system, first generation commercially available. Telidon was developed at Canadian Communication Research Center, then technology was transferred to industry through contact for second developmental version (ref 2). According to Douglas O'Brien, system engineer on the Telidon project, keyboards were usually used for business, office or laboratory environments as keypads were meant for Telidon home systems. In 1983, the North American Presentation Level Protocol Syntax (NAPLPS) graphics language develop from the Canadian Telidon system was formalized, ratified and adopted as a world standard for graphics transmission by computer.
