Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical
resolution of the image resulting in a noticeably
sharper picture. Instead of sending a field
comprising the odd lines to the screen first,
followed by the field with the even lines, it
writes both fields at the same time. A full image
is created instantaneously, using the maximum
resolution. At such a speed, your eye perceives
a sharper picture with no line structure.

the audio and video experience by adding a
'visual' dimension. Listeners can now
appreciate an immersive surround sound
experience that they can also 'see' with
movement. Essentially, both the top speaker
and the metal bullet speaker heads are
motorised so they actually 'move' together to
recreate a surround sound experience. The
combination of the moving speakers creates a
'sound beaming' effect towards the listener,
effectively widening the sound stage and the
sides of the room.
