Progressive format
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately

frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image
at once as a single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one
second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality increases and
still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.
