Interlace format
Interlace fomlat 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 64 and 69)
Compared to the Interlace fomlat 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 l}ame. This means that
while the Interlace format can show 30
frames/60 fields in one second, the
Progressive format can show 60 fi'ames in
one second. The overall picture quality
increases and still images, text, and
horizontal lines appear sharper. This player
is compatible with the 480 pro_'essive
format.
