In video, a field is one of the many still images which comprise a moving picture. They are similar to frames, but they have half the vertical resolution and are displayed twice as fast. The method of converting from frames to fields is called interlacing, and the method of converting fields to frames is called deinterlacing. A video composed of fields is interlaced, and a video composed of frames is progressive. Video is the technology of capturing, recording, processing, transmitting, and reconstructing moving pictures, typically using celluloid film, electronic signals, or digital media, primarily for viewing on television or computer monitors. ... In film, video production, animation, and related fields, a frame is one of the many still images which compose the complete moving picture. ... Interlace is a technique of improving the picture quality of a video transmission without consuming any extra bandwidth. ... Deinterlacing the process of converting interlaced images of video into non-interlaced form. ... Progressive scan Progressive or non-interlaced scanning is any method for displaying, storing or transmitting moving images in which the lines of each frame are drawn in sequence. ...

Video shot with a standard video camera format such as S-VHS or Mini-DV is almost always interlaced when created, whereas video shot with a film-based camera is almost always progressive. Free-to-air analog TV was mostly broadcast as interlaced material because the trade-off of spatial resolution for frame-rate reduced flickering on CRTs. High-definition digital television (see: HDTV) today can be broadcast terrestrially or distributed through cable system in either interlaced (1080i) or progressive formats (720p or 1080p). There are now some prosumer HDV camcorders that can shoot in progressive (720p) formats. A video camera can be classified two ways: Professional video cameras, such as those used in television production Camcorders used by amateurs This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...
