1080i5060

1080i5060 refers to a video format that displays an image resolution of 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. The 'i' signifies interlaced scanning, meaning each frame is divided into two fields, one containing odd-numbered lines and the other containing even-numbered lines. These fields are displayed sequentially, creating the illusion of a full frame at a higher temporal resolution. The '5060' part indicates the supported frame rates. Specifically, it can operate at either 50 interlaced fields per second (resulting in 25 full frames per second) or 60 interlaced fields per second (resulting in 30 full frames per second). This format is commonly used in broadcast television standards, particularly in regions that utilize the PAL television system (50 Hz) and NTSC television system (60 Hz). While high definition, it is distinct from 1080p formats, which use progressive scanning where all lines of a frame are displayed simultaneously, generally resulting in a sharper image.
