High Definition Production Standards—Interlace or Progressive?

In the days of the simpler life, feature films were produced for theatrical release, and television programs were produced for broadcast to the home. Today, virtually all productions, whether produced in video or on film, address the revenue from worldwide distribution through multiple media. These include theatrical films, made-for-TV movies, drama series, sitcoms, soaps, game shows, sports, and even news. The video distribution media, especially, continue to proliferate as we have seen with cable, MDS, prerecorded tape and disc, SMATV and DBS. The importance of the worldwide market has placed high priority on the need for a single worldwide high definition electronic production (HDEP) standard^1–4 to augment the current high definition standard, which is 35 mm film at 24 frames per second.
