Camera 1080p Vs 1080i Vs 720p



While 1080i has 1080 lines of resolution, 720p has only 720 lines. The "i" and the "p" in these resolutions stand for interlaced and progressive scanning, respectively. While some customers will not notice a significant difference between the picture quality of 720p and 1080i, progressive scanning offers an objectively superior picture, especially on newer LCD or LED TVs built for higher resolutions and progressive scanning.




Camera 1080p Vs 1080i Vs 720p



720p represents 720 lines of resolution scanned sequentially. In other words, all lines are scanned in progressively, providing a more detailed high definition video image compared to interlaced display technology of the same resolution. Progressive scanning reduces the need to prevent flicker by filtering out fine details, so spatial (sharpness) resolution is much closer to 1080i than the number of scan lines would suggest.


The 1080 and 720 in 1080p and 720p stand for vertical screen resolution, or height, in pixels. The more pixels there are in an image, the clearer it will be. As such, a screen resolution of 1920x1080 (two million pixels when multiplied) should appear twice as sharp as a resolution of 1280x720 (fewer than one million pixels). Meanwhile, the p in 1080p and 720p stands for progressive scanning, which updates full frame images more quickly than traditionally interlaced content.


HD DVDs contain 720p content and sometimes 1080p, while all Blu-ray discs contain 1080p content. Regular DVD quality can vary considerably, with some displaying content at a resolution lower than 720p, such as 480p. Moreover, there are still DVD players around that only carry support for up to 480p or 480i, meaning a viewer cannot get the full experience of any high-definition DVD they insert into the player.


Netflix typically streams at 720p, but with the release and expansion of what it calls "Super HD," users are able to stream more and more content at 1080p quality with a high-speed internet connection. Apple TV allows users to choose between 720p and 1080p streaming. DirecTV displays a "1080pHD" logo on 1080p pay-per-view content, and all their latest DirecTV Cinema content is in 1080p. On YouTube and Vimeo, high quality videos often allow for 720p or even 1080p streaming.


Screen resolution can be especially important in video gaming. Because there are more pixels in 1080p, less anti-aliasing is required for a smooth visual experience. This means that 1080p will not only likely look better than 720p, but will lead to a better gaming experience overall, as anti-aliasing can slow down a console or computer.


Although Ultra HD 4K TVs are rapidly becoming standard, with their resolutions of 3,840x2,160, the truth is that for a long time to come it's HD content that's going to remain on top. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to decipher exactly what HD is, as it's not a single standard and you're likely to see a range of different standards quoted, with 720p, 1080i and 1080p all options. For example, the Now TV box uses a 720p stream, while Netflix can deliver 1080p content (and 4K if you've got the right type of TV). So, what are the real differences?


The number used in each standard tells us how many pixels tall an image is. So a 720p image is 720 pixels high, while 1080i and 1080p images are both 1,080 pixels high. The reason for this convention is down to the old analogue TV system, where the standards were described by the number of lines high an image was: PAL TV was broadcast at a resolution of 576 lines.


What the standard doesn't tell you up front, is the width of the image. All HD standards assume that the picture has an aspect ratio of 16:9. In other words, for every 16 horizontal pixels, you have nine vertical ones. To work out the conversion, you divide the number of vertical pixels you have by nine and multiply by 16 to get the width. This means that a 720p image is 1,280 pixels wide (a resolution of 1,280x720 pixels and a total of 921,600 pixels), while a 1080i and 1080p image are both 1,920 pixels wide (a resolution of 1,920x1,080 pixels, a total of 2,073,600). This might make 1080i and 1080p sound the same, but there's a crucial difference between them.


The difference between 1080i and 1080p is down to the letter, where 'i' means interlaced and 'p' means progressive. With a progressive picture, you get all 1,920x1,080 pixels all at once. With an interlaced image, the picture is split into two: the first has the full horizontal resolution, but only carries the even lines; the second has the odd lines. Effectively, you need half the bandwidth by sending half of the information (1,036,800 pixels vs 2,073,600 pixels). Interlacing is largely used for TV broadcasts for this very reason.


Another thing to consider is that nearly all new HDTVs you can buy today are capable of de-interlacing 1080i video signals so they look just like 1080p, which makes it even harder to notice a difference.


These days, 1080p and 1080i are old hat compared to the much more publicized 4K format available with most new HDTVs (often classed as UHD TVs). With 4K resolution, picture clarity is sharper and more colorful than ever. Consumers can also enjoy sitting quite a bit closer to their living room TV without noticing any sort of distortion in the image. This is because 4K TVs display close to four times the number of pixels as a standard 1080p set. Simply put, the more pixels on display, the better the picture quality. Better yet, most UHD sets will also upconvert a standard HD image, making your regular HD sources look closer to actual 4K.


Some recordings, such as in HDV video camcorders, and many HD TV signals are stored or broadcast at 1440 x 1080i. This is another bit of trickery used to reduce the amount of data needed to record or broadcast the footage. The pixels in the video are oblong (non-square). The pixel aspect ratio is 1.33:1. Essentially this means the pixels are stretched horizontally to fill a 1920 x 1080 frame during playback. This is hardly noticeable to the average viewer. You may also see 960 x 720 pixel video from some cameras. Again these employ non-square pixels to generate a 720p image.


Nearly all modern video cameras (PAL UK models) can do 1080p. Some but not all will do 1080i as well. In essence the choice of camera depends largely on how much you want to spend and what type of activity you want to film.


Common bitrate options on professional cameras include 35Mbs, 50Mbs and 100Mbs. However, not all frame rates can be recorded at all of those data rates. e.g. 35Mbs works with 1080p25 but 35Mbs may not be an available option for 1080p50.


iPhone 4 records 16:9 aspect ratio 1280x720p video via the main camera at a nominal 30 frames per second. However, Apple devices tend to record at an irregular frame rate which causes Adobe Premiere to choke on the files.
