progressive scan

Non-interlaced video output

Progressive scan is a method of displaying video where each frame is drawn line by line from top to bottom in a single pass, rather than alternating between odd and even lines as in interlaced video.

The result is smoother motion and sharper images, especially for fast-moving content.

Standard on computer monitors and modern televisions: The TV supports 1080p progressive scan.
