1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,040
if you subscribe to a cable or satellite TV service chances are there's a toggle

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:13,320
somewhere on your set top box that allows you to switch between 720p or

3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:17,359
1080 I but you've also probably noticed

4
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:20,279
that most TVs and monitors advertise

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:27,840
themselves as 1080p these days which doesn't match up with either of those so

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:31,119
what gives you see that P you always see

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:33,760
at the end of 1080p stands for

8
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:39,600
Progressive and no I'm not talking about the insurance company or Bernie Sanders

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:45,520
I'm talking about progressive scan which means it will draw all of the lines in a

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:51,920
single frame of video sequentially so that each frame contains a complete

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:55,440
image that fills the screen by contrast

12
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,440
the little I stands for interlaced in

13
00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:01,760
which only every other line of an image

14
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,600
is displayed in one frame interlaced

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:09,799
signals are common not only for 1920x 1080 TV channels but they were also

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:15,119
dominant back in the day of analog television where almost everyone was

17
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:21,119
watching at 480i or 576i on CRT

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:23,520
displays but why wouldn't it be more

19
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:30,280
straightforward to display one whole image per frame well part of the reason

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:33,399
was bandwidth you see only so much much

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:36,799
data can be flung over the airwaves or a

22
00:01:33,399 --> 00:01:39,520
co-axial cable at Once interlaced video

23
00:01:36,799 --> 00:01:45,880
saves on bandwidth by only sending half of a complete frame at once this allowed

24
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,320
older TV sets to refresh more frequently

25
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:54,640
for smoother motion as they could show 60 half frames per second instead of 30

26
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:58,840
full frames but modern LCD flat panel

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,920
TVs only support Progressive scanning so

28
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:06,759
how do they work then with interlaced 108i signals provided by cable or

29
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:09,080
satellite TV services well the signals

30
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:14,840
have to be what is called deinterlaced this can be done by either

31
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:18,200
the set top box or the TV itself but

32
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:21,440
either way it's an imperfect science you

33
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:24,920
see the two halves of a fully interlaced

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,000
frame aren't two halves of the exact

35
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:30,959
same image rather they are usually

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:36,239
delivered as the halves of two separate slightly different frames so when you

37
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:41,519
put them together they don't look quite perfect and on lowquality displays this

38
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:47,040
can show up as what's called combing in places where the two half frames don't

39
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:49,159
match up very well TVs use processing

40
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,840
tricks to help avoid really bad artifacting in deinterlaced video and

41
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:59,120
generally it works fairly well on displays that are worth their salt and

42
00:02:56,879 --> 00:03:04,360
although many cable boxes can also de interlay signals it's typically a better

43
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:08,640
idea to let your TV do it as cable boxes are all too often made by the lowest

44
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:14,120
bidder and the de interlacing logic inside them won't be as good as what

45
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,120
your tv offers but even with a nicer TV

46
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,720
it can still be possible to notice a reduction in picture quality when

47
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:26,040
there's rapid movement on screen such as if you're watching a sporting event

48
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,239
because two half frames in sequence

49
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,640
during something like a hockey game can be way out of sync due to the fast

50
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:37,360
motion of the players many sports networks like ESPN have actually chosen

51
00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:44,439
to broadcast in 720p instead of 108i sacrificing

52
00:03:40,959 --> 00:03:47,879
resolution for better movement but come

53
00:03:44,439 --> 00:03:51,799
on lonus this is 2016 why do we have to

54
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:54,439
sacrifice anything well due to the cost

55
00:03:51,799 --> 00:04:00,040
of upgrading systems as well as the fact that most Bourgeois viewers seem to be

56
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:05,599
content with 1080i service we probably won't see real 1080p at 60 frames per

57
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,879
second over cable and satellite anytime soon however the good news is that

58
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:13,799
computers have no problem outputting 1080p signals so if you're one of the

59
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,840
many folks who are constantly using their rigs for everything from gaming to

60
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,280
watching Netflix in HD or even 4K you won't have to worry about interlacing

61
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,880
artifacts yet another reason to join the PC Master raced just make sure that you

62
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:32,400
don't have to give up a kidney to your satellite provider in order to get out

63
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,600
of your contract tunnel bear VPN lets

64
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,360
you tunnel to 20 different countries

pick boom your connection gets encrypted and the public IP address that you are

71
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:11,080
showing to the websites and services that you use get switched to pretend as

though you're in somewhere else and tunnel bear lets you bypass all the

00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:18,520
annoying details that typically come with using a VPN like messing around

74
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:23,280
with Port configurations or DNS or router settings or any of that nonsense
