Pour réduire le papillotement, sans augmenter la bande passante, on utilise le mode de balayage entrelacé. Avec ce système, le spot parcourt d'abord les lignes impaires puis les lignes paires. Toutes les lignes impaires sont analysées pendant un cinquantième de seconde. Elles forment la trame impaire [...] Celles explorées pendant le cinquantième de seconde suivant constituent la trame paire [...] Le balayage entrelacé est l'analyse successive de ces deux trames [...] 4, record 3, French, - balayage%20entrelac%C3%A9

Le scintillement est réduit en reconstituant une image à l'aide de deux "demi-images", chacune étant obtenue en 1/50 de seconde. Si les lignes d'une image sont numérotées de 1 à n, l'une des demi-images est formées des lignes impaires, tandis que l'autre correspond aux lignes paires : c'est le balayage interligné. 2, record 3, French, - balayage%20entrelac%C3%A9
