Interlaced Scanning
|
The scanning of all the odd numbered lines (1st field) and the subsequent scanning of all the even lines (2nd Fields).
The 2 fields make up a full television frame |
|
Field
|
1 half of a complete scanning cycle, with 2 fields being necessary for 1 tv picture frame. In analog TV there are 60 fields for 30 frames per second
|
|
Frame
|
The complete scanning cycle of the electron beam. In interlaced scanning, 2 partial scanning cycles (fields) are necessary for 1 frame. In progressive scanning, each cycle produces 1 complete frame
