1080i
1080i (also known as Full HD or BT.709) is a combination of frame Image resolution, resolution and scan type. 1080i is used in high-definition television (HDTV) and high-definition video. The number "1080" refers to the number of horizontal lines on the screen. The "i" is an abbreviation for interlaced video, "interlaced"; this indicates that only the even lines, then the odd lines of each frame (each image called a video field) are drawn alternately, so that only half the number of actual image frames are used to produce video. A related display resolution is 1080p, which also has 1080 lines of resolution; the "p" refers to progressive scan, which indicates that the lines of resolution for each frame are "drawn" on the screen in sequence. The term assumes a widescreen Aspect ratio (image), aspect ratio of 16:9 aspect ratio, 16:9 (a rectangular TV that is wider than it is tall), so the 1080 lines of vertical resolution implies 1920 columns of horizontal resolution, or 1920 pixe ...

Progressive Segmented Frame
Progressive segmented Frame (PsF, sF, SF) is a scheme designed to acquire, store, modify, and distribute progressive scan video using interlaced equipment. With PsF, a progressive frame is divided into two ''segments'', with the odd lines in one segment and the even lines in the other segment. Technically, the segments are equivalent to interlaced ''fields'', but unlike native interlaced video, there is no motion between the two fields that make up the video frame: both fields represent the same instant in time. This technique allows for a progressive picture to be processed through the same electronic circuitry that is used to store, process and route interlaced video. The term ''progressive segmented frame'' is used predominantly in relation to high definition video. In the world of standard-definition video, which traditionally has been using interlaced scanning, it is also known as ''quasi-interlace'', ''progressive recording'' or ''movie mode''. Other names for PsF used by el ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
