What are the pros and cons between interlace and progressive scanning?
Interlaced scanning: The picture on the screen is divided into two sets, odd numbers and even numbers. Interlaced?means the lines that make up the picture on your TV screen are drawn in an alternating fashion. To display an image, the television sequentially draws all of the odd numbered lines from top to bottom and then proceeds to fill in the even lines. Advantage: Reduced bandwidth / Popularity / Lower prices Disadvantage: Image artefacts / Intentional image blurring / Improper reproduction of finer details/ Image flickering Progressive scanning: What differentiates a progressive scan from an interlaced scan is that the progressive scans system draws every line on the screen in just one pass, rather than in two passes. Each line is filled in sequential order instead of the alternating odd then even order that the interlaced scan system uses.
