Just What is 1080i? Part 1
Steve Mullen
If you asked many prosumers, and very likely many of those in the video and film business, "What is 1080i?", you would likely receive a response that includes a number. For example, you might hear "2 million pixels" or "four to six times more pixels than NTSC."
