Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an
image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television.
The even number field shows the even
numbered lines of an image, and the odd
numbered field shows the odd numbered
lines of an image.
Progressive format (pages 51 and 56)
Compared to the Interlace format that
alternately shows every other line of an
image (field) to create one frame, the
Progressive format shows the entire image at
once as a single frame. This means that
while the Interlace format can show 30
frames/60 fields in one second, the
Progressive format can show 60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper. This player
is compatible with the 480 progressive
format.
