Progressive vs Interlaced Video

these formats, a complete video image is transferred for each frame
of the video signal, so that a 60fps video displays 60 complete, full
frames per second. This format is visually superior to interlaced video,
and in general should be used when supported by your display.
ing is the historical standard for broadcast video. In interlacing, two
frames (or more correctly, fields) are transferred for each frame of the
video signal, so that a 60fps video has 30 complete, full frames per
second. The display device sends the two fields to the screen in the
horizontal odd and even (or interlaced) pixel positions. Given the vi-
sual persistence of the human eye, this reconstruction of full frames is
undetectable to the viewer.
eo playback, and interlacing results in a halving of the native frame/
field transfer rate because two fields are required for the full image.
Frame rate and visual experience are subjective, however. Tradition-
ally, movies produced with conventional film use a 24 frames per sec-
ond rate, and many viewers prefer the cinematic experience that 24fps
video provides. In fact, much of the professional video produced with
high-end gear is actually shot at 60fps or higher, and later converted
to video frame rates to provide the look and feel of cinematic film.
