Translations

interlacing

(hardware)A video display system which builds an imageon the VDU in two phases, known as "fields", consisting ofeven and odd horizontal lines.

The complete image (a "frame") is created by scanning anelectron beam horizontally across the screen, starting at thetop and moving down after each horizontal scan until thebottom of the screen is reached, at which point the scanstarts again at the top. On an interlaced display, evennumbered scan lines are displayed in the first field andthen odd numbered lines in the second field.

For a given screen resolution, refresh rate (frames persecond) and phosphor persistence, interlacing reducesflicker because the top and bottom of the screen are redrawntwice as often as if the scan simply proceded from top tobottom in a single vertical sweep.
