  480p
Terminology | Dictionary | Explanation

480p defines a resolution. The number 480 stands for 480 lines of vertical resolution, while the letter p stands for progressive scan or non-interlaced. 480p is considered to be an HDTV video mode. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 720 dots across and a frame resolution of 720 × 480 or about 345600 pixels. The frame rate in hertz can be either implied by the context or specified after the letter p (such as 480p30, meaning 30 frames per second).
