Both are two fields interlaced video (29.97). After it is decoded, you can convert the video to a progressive format if desired. As a general rule, I suggest to clients to leave it as an interlaced format if viewing on a TV set but to convert it to progressive if viewing on a computer.<br><div apple-content-edited="true">

So, at the risk of betraying my lack of knowledge in the digital
world: does the decoder deliver the result of one field, or does
it combine both fields into a single frame?<br>

There are many ways to capture an image. One of the most important
part of the process is the decoder. After many experiments, I
have found the Accom 10-bit decoder to do the best job. The goal
is to make composite look like component.

a TK-42. Notice the lack of banding, hanging dots and
cross-color contamination.<br>
