Your High-definition-ready Set

High-definition television offers a picture with unprecedented crispness and clarity. The TV broadcast industry is moving toward high definition as the signal standard. Currently, the number of programs being broadcast in high definition is limited, but this is changing. To view high-definition programs on your TV, you will need to connect a satellite receiver, cable box, or set-top box that can decode HD signals.

Resolution information

Image resolutions are commonly referred to by a num- ber followed by a letter: 480i, 480p, 720p and 1080i. The number in each format refers to the number of lines of resolution, so for example both 480i and 480p offer 480 lines of resolution. The "i" or "p" refers to whether the signal is displayed using respectively interlaced or progressive scan. Interlaced scan breaks each frame of video into 2 fields, one made up of even lines and one made up of odd lines. The image is reproduced by draw- ing all odd lines first (1,3,5,…479) than all the even ones (2,4,6,….,480). Progressive scan, on the other hand

reproduces an image by drawing all lines in succession 1,2,3,4,….480).
