Abstract(in English) It is important to investigate the relation between the reduction of picture quality and perceptual characteristics for sign language, when desiging communication networks. ISDN videophones usually use some transmission modes based on the CCITT H.261 international standard. In this paper we investigate the relation between each of transmission modes and the perception of sign language, using perceptual experiments. We demonstrate that a fluent Japanese Sign Language(JSL) user chooses good temporal resolution rather than good spatial resolution when perceiving sign language. We also show that it is more difficult to perceive sign language on ISDN videophones compared to sign language on ordinary television screens.
