Progressive scan and Interlacing scan

In the past, because of the relative technology being immature, the TV set employed interlacing scanning mode. That is, each picture is created by scanning twice, first the odd field and then the even field. Therefore images are illegible and flickering. Nowadays, the top graded TV sets generally have progressive scanning function, that is, each picture is created by scanning once, and images are clear. This unit can provide two scanning modes.
