Which of the following is a disadvantage of desktop videoconferencing (DTV) for telehealth?
1. DTV may not support high-resolution, high-speed transmissions.
2. DTV requires a personal computer with a modem to function.
3. DTV uses real-time synchronous encounters for face-to-face meetings.
4. DTV is more expensive than most videoconferencing systems.

Rationale: DTV may not support high-resolution, high-speed transmissions needed to transmit accurate assessments for telehealth. However, DTV is less expensive, can support face-to-face (F2F) meetings in real time, and can be used with a personal computer and modem.
