About high-definition (HD) video
High-definition (HD) video refers to any video format with a resolution higher than standard-definition (SD) video
formats. Typically, standard-definition refers to digital formats with resolutions close to those of analog TV
standards, such as NTSC and PAL (around 480 or 576 vertical lines, respectively). The most common HD formats
have resolutions of 1280
x 720 or 1920 x 1080, with a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9.
HD video formats include interlaced and noninterlaced varieties. Typically, the highest-resolution formats are
interlaced at the higher frame rates, because noninterlaced video at this resolution would require a prohibitively
high data rate.
