I stands for "interlaced" scan, and P stands for "progressive" scan.
By sequentially scanning each line to display the image, progressive technology helps to produce a crisper, more detailed image for improved playback.
Interlaced video of the same line rate does not exhibit any visual artifacts; the motion is realistic and fluid, and it can even be photographed.
A 360p screen resolution consists of 360 lines, each as wide as 480 pixels, that overlap one another.
The aspect ratio of 480p video resolution, also known as standard definition (640×480), is 4:3.
HD TV channels use the 720p (1280×720) format, which has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 720 horizontally oriented lines.
Full HD, also known as 1080p, has a default resolution of 1920 x 1080.
A higher definition of 1080p, 2K resolution is also known as 1440p/Quad HD/QHD.
Digital video resolution with a horizontal and vertical frame ratio is known by its acronym, 4K.
When shooting your video, opt for the highest resolution of 2160p to attain exceptional 4K quality.
Let’s discuss the meaning of the P in 1080p.
The color image has a resolution of 1080.
A set of HDTV high-definition video modes, 1080P (1920 × 1080 progressively displayed pixels) is also referred to as FULL HD, FHD, and BT.709. It is defined by 1,920 pixels displayed horizontally and 1,080 pixels displayed vertically;[1] the p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced.
Full HD, or FHD, is a common marketing term used to contrast 1080p and 720p resolution screens.
In the US, ATSC standards support 1080p video signals; in Europe, DVB standards do the same.
Applications for the 1080p standard include broadcast television, Blu-ray discs, smartphones, consumer-grade televisions and projectors, computer monitors, video game consoles, and Internet content like YouTube videos and Netflix TV series and movies.
1080p resolution can be achieved for still and moving images captured by digital cameras, smartphones, and small camcorders.
Blu-ray Discs can store 1080p HD content, and when the player is connected to a 1080p HDTV using an HDMI cable, the majority of movies that are released on Blu-ray Discs display in full 1080p HD quality.
The next subject is what the P in 720p stands for.
Progressive scanning, represented by the p in 720p, refreshes the entire image with each scan by showing each line in the image raster sequentially from top to bottom.
The typical high-definition (HD) display resolution is 720p, which has a 16×9 aspect ratio and 1280×720 pixels with progressive scanning.
The number in TV signal specs, such as 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, denotes the total number of horizontal lines in the raster.
Both 720P and 1080p improve video quality that has been converted from film by lowering the frequency of visual artifacts and raising resolution.
480i and 480p standard definition terrestrial television (SDTV) were surpassed by 720p.
Now let’s explore what the P in 480p is.
Progressive scan is indicated by the p.
A vertical resolution of 480 pixels is indicated by the 480.
Rather than being interlaced, the frames are presented progressively.
The abbreviation for a group of video display resolutions is 480p.
4:3 is the most popular aspect ratio for 480p.
If a widescreen YouTube video has the 480p resolution selected, the resolution 854×480 is used.
Many of the first plasma televisions had 480p resolution.
