Types of Frames
DT3130 Series boards can acquire interlaced frames.
The video signal is defined as two consecutive fields, where the start
of each field is identified by the falling edge of the vertical sync.
These two fields are acquired to create the complete frame. The even
field contains lines 0, 2, 4, and so on; the odd field contains lines 1, 3,
5, and so on.
