P.SCAN
(Progressive Scan)
Function
Unlike regular Interlace Scan, in which two fields of picture information alternate to create the
entire picture (odd scan lines, then even scan lines), Progressive Scan uses one field of infor-
mation (all lines displayed in one pass) to create a clear and detailed picture without visible
scan lines.
Press and hold P.SCAN button on the remote controller for over 5 seconds in
stop mode.
•
Pressing and holding the button for over 5 seconds will select "
Progressive Scan
" and "
Interlace Scan
"
repetitively.
In interlaced-scan video, a frame consists of two inter-
laced fields (odd and even), where each field contains
every other horizontal line in the frame.
The odd field of alternating lines is displayed first, and
then the even field is displayed to fill in the alternating
gaps left by the odd field to form a single frame.
One frame, displayed every 1/30th of a second, contains
two interfaced fields, thus a total of 60 fields are dis-
played every 1/60th of a second.
The interlaced scanning method is intended for capturing
a still object.
Interlaced Scan (1 FRAME = 2 FIELDS)
The progressive scanning method scans one full frame of
video consecutively down the screen, line by line.
An entire image is drawn at one time, as opposed to the
interlaced scanning process by which a video image is
drawn in a series of passes.
The progressive scanning method is desirable for dealing
with moving objects.
Progressive Scan (FULL FRAME)
What is Progressive (or Non-Interlaced) Scanning?

scan TVs.)
