La fréquence de trames d’un téléviseur décrit le nombre de fois qu'il crée une image complète à l'écran chaque seconde. Les fréquences de trames de la TVN varient de 24 trames par seconde à 60 trames par seconde dans certains cas et parfois même jusqu'à 120 trames par seconde(la fréquence de trames est quelquefois désignée par le mot hertz ou «Hz »comme dans 60 Hz ou 120 Hz).

The ISO also developed the MPEG standard for digital video compression.... MPEG was developed to decompress images from storage media with 1- to 1.5-MBps transfer rates, which includes such devices as CD-ROMs, DAT, ISDN and LANs. This rate is satisfactory for producing moving video in a window, but TV-quality full-screen motion video requires 16- to 24-MBps data rates, which are too fast for currently popular storage devices. The MPEG algorithm has been extended to reduce full-screen broadcast data rates to the 4-6 MBps range, which should be sufficient to exploit the next generation of digital storage products for the desktop computer. 2, record 8, English, - full%2Dscreen%20image
