Interlaced
Posted on March 7, 2013 by KVMG-CMS | 0 comments
A type of video display where the image is drawn in an alternating pattern. The odd lines are drawn first, and then the even lines are drawn. See also, progressive. On a typical display, this alternating pattern occurs 30 times a second, so it can cause the display to flicker. Interlaced video was developed so that only half an image has to be transmitted at a time, saving bandwidth. Standard televisions are interlaced. Most computer monitors and HDTV's are non-interlaced.
