Different scanning modes
Interlaced scan
Technology that alternately displays odd-numbered scanning lines and
even-numbered scanning lines. Also called “480i”, “i” meaning “interlace”.
Progressive scan
Technology that simultaneously displays odd-numbered scanning lines
and even-numbered scanning lines from top to bottom. Also called “480p”,
“p” meaning “progressive”.
The 625 signal is the standard PAL component signal that includes flyback
and teletext data commonly used on CRT products.
The 580 signal is the same a 625 less the flyback data. On LCD-TV's
which support the 580 signal, the unit processes the 625 signal and re-
moves the flyback data making it 580.
The 576 signal is the same as 580 less the teletext data. On Non-CRT
equipment such as projection systems that don't have the ability to show
teletext, the unit processes the 625 signal and removes the flyback and
teletext data making it 576.
If you operation manual for your display device lists 625, 580 and 576,
this Recorder will support the display device.
