Oh. I thought that was what I had written - I was just expanding on your answer, not disputing it. ("two interlaced fields, each of which was taken at different times.")

Yeah, we're agreeing. Got me before the edit

Yes, there are 'progressive' video formats that do exactly that. The format usually ends in an 'i' if it is interlaced and a 'p' if it is progressive (ie not interlaced).

Best,

So that's what the funny numbers on the new TVs are. I'd wondered.

Thanks!

For the TV that you're watching in NYC, set your shutter speed to 1/30s and fire away.
