Fields
Two fields combine to make a single frame.
Your animations might ultimately be viewed on television monitors. Standard
video signals display animation by breaking it down within time segments
(frames). The image for each frame is split into horizontal lines (scan lines).
A special method for conveying frame information on a video signal has been
developed. This method is called field interlacing. Television monitors display
a video signal by separately scanning two portions of each frame called fields.
One field contains the odd scan lines of a frame, the other field contains the
even scan lines. Television monitors scan and display the fields of each frame
separately. The fields are alternately cycled through every other horizontal
line on the screen so that they "layer" together to form a single interlaced
image.
Render to Fields
On the Render Scene dialog, in the
Common Parameters rollout on page 5929
> Options group, the Render To Fields check box sets whether the renderer
renders full frames at the specified frame rate, or renders fields at twice that
rate. When Render To Fields is on, the renderer renders an extra sub-frame
