Field (Of Video): Each frame of video in the PAL or NTSC signal consists of two fields. Television creates a picture through vertical lines, each field has 262.5 (in NTSC) or 312.5 (in PAL) lines of video. The lines are displayed on the television tube in an interlace pattern. The odd lines of each frame are scanned, producing one field, then the even lines are scanned, producing the other field. Together, the two fields create a frame.
