Progressive Scan DVD Player : What is it?

PScanDVDPlayers1

A progressive scan DVD player works like a computer monitor—it writes one full video frame from the left to the right of the screen in every 1/60 of a second. It draws an entire image at once, producing video images that look clearer, more detailed, and more stable.

A progressive scan DVD player features a horizontal scanning capability that works with high a frequency (usually 31.5 kHz), making it compatible only with a digital HDTV. Unlike a standard DVD players, it features a pull down circuitry ratio of 3:2 that smoothens out the pictures and images while  eliminating “jaggie” artifacts.
