576p

Shorthand name for a video display resolution 576p is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The p stands for progressive scan, i.e. non-interlaced, the 576 for a vertical resolution of 576 pixels (the frame rate can be given explicitly after the letter). Usually it corresponds to a digital video mode with a 4:3 anamorphic resolution of 720 x 576 and a frame rate of 25 frames per second (576p25), and thus using the same bandwidth and carrying the same amount of pixel data as 576i, but other resolutions and frame rates are possible. ITU-R Recommendation BT.1358 allows the following resolutions, coded as R'G'B' or YCBCR, with timings compatible with BT.656: 1024 x 576p (16:9 square pixel format) 960 x 576p 936 x 576p (based on 960 x 576p, blanking the first and last 12 pixels of each line) 864 x 576p 768 x 576p (4:3 square pixel format) 720 x 576p (4:3 anamorphic) 704 x 576p (based on 720 x 576p, blanking the first and last 8 pixels of each line) 640 x 576p 576 x 576p 544 x 576p 480 x 576p 576p is considered standard definition for PAL regions. It can be transported by both major digital television formats (ATSC and DVB) and on DVD-Video (if limited to 25 fps). It is defi
