1. Interlaced Scan- The scanning of all the odd-numbered lines (first field) and the subsequent
ning scanning of all the even-numbered lines (second field). The two fields make up a
complete television frame.
2. Progressive Each frame of video is scanned by the electron beam as a single field. If slowed
Scanning down, each frame would appear on the monitor in its entirety on the screen, rather
than line by line, as is the case with interlaced scanning
3. Y/C (Luminance and Chrominance) A term used to describe the separation of video
signal components used in systems such as Hi-8 and S-VHS.
4. Component 3 separate cables/wires, RGB, that give us color
video signal
5. Composite video A combined video signal of red, green, and blue into one cable/connector.
