525 scanning lines are drawn in order without interlacing (first field), and then 525
scanning lines are drawn in the same pass on the next field.
*2 Interlace (Interlaced scan)
Following odd-numbered scan lines, even-numbered scan lines (262.5 lines each)
are drawn in 1/60 seconds. This occurs in two separate fields. As a result, a 525-
line image (frame) is created.
