Field
For an interlaced video signal, a "field" is the assembly of alternate lines of a frame.
Therefore, an interlaced frame is composed of two fields, a top field and a bottom field.
Frame
A frame contains lines of spatial information of a video signal. For progressive video, these
lines contain samples starting from one time instant and continuing through successive lines
to the bottom of the frame. For interlaced video a frame consists of two fields, a top field and
a bottom field. One of these fields will commence one field later than the other.
