What is the difference between high definition (HD) and standard definition (SD)?
A standard definition (SD) picture is made up of 575 visible lines and a high definition (HD) picture is made up of 1080 visible lines, giving far better picture quality. High definition offers the opportunity for progressive, as well as interlaced scanning.The increase in resolution means focus and attention to detail are more critical when shooting. It is recommended that a HD monitor is always used on location when shooting HD for checking focus and the content of the frame.
