The most noticeable difference between progressive scan and interlaced video is apparent when viewing frame-by-frame recorded video of moving vehicles. Progressive scan captures and displays all lines of each frame in sequence, resulting in smoother and clearer images, especially for fast-moving subjects. In contrast, interlaced video captures and displays alternate lines per frame, which can cause motion artifacts and blurring in fast-moving scenes. Axis Network Video documentation highlights that progressive scan is preferred for applications where clarity and detail in moving objects are critical.
