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.
