CIF v Frame v Field

Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

Can someone explain to me the difference between:

CIF

Frame

Field

 

I've got a DigiGuard Network DVR (8 & 16CH) if this matters.

CIF (320x240 pixels) - also occasional typed as SIF

Field (2xCIF 720x240 pixels) - also known as 2CIF or Half D1

Frame (2xField 720x480 pixels) - also known as 4CIF or D1

 

There are minor differences between Field/2CIF/half D1, and Frame/4CIF/D1, but this is a basic understanding and will give you reference point.

Going back in time a bit, Frame = 2 Fields?

So I guess as mentioned by Bean, the Field in this case is half of the Frame, where Frame is D1(720x480) or 4 CIF (704/480).
