There are 2 camera scanning techniques- interlaced and progressive.
Interlaced Scanning divides the horizontal lines of the screen into 2 segments- odd number and even number, and refreshes the odd lines first even lines second in a continuous cycle such as 25 frames per second. The time difference in updating the odd frame and the even frame would produce some distortion of the video image on the screen.
Progressive Scanning does not divide the screen into odd and even frames and it refreshes all horizontal lines of the screen one by one, that is, Line 1 to 2 to 3 and etc. There is no flickering or distortion effect.
Most older models of cameras, presumably the analogue type, use Interlaced Scanning.

Of the top 10 technologies which Gartner predicted for 2009, we believe Cloud Computing and SaaS (software as a service) will become more visible and they will affect the way we do business in the future.
As the hardware of a system is akin to the body of human, the evolution of computing fabric continues to demand top attention. Compucon operates in this specific domain and will continue to provide leadership for the foreseeable future.
On day to day operations, Compucon channel peers have given Distinctions on Product Reliability, Customer Service, Technical Service, Business Direction and Communication (A++) to the Compucon team. At the lesser performing end are Branding and Marketing. We will find better ways to deliver them in 2009. Pricing is rated 4.68 out of 5 and it is a Credit. Range of System gets a Credit too but we realize that the current optimized desktop range does not meet the needs of all types of customers. There is work to be done.
In terms of hardware volume, all press forecasts point to a decline in 2009. We as a group do have to gain more service revenue to plug the gap and to push forward. IP Video Surveillance is a new focus area for Compucon. We have done an in-house system and another one for a 380 unit apartment building in Newmarket. We will transfer our skill sets to channel members in 2009.
Overall, our outlook for 2009 is cautiously positive.

A peer member raised the issue of specialization for forum discussion at the briefing event on 10 December. This is a good topic because the field of IT is broad being inclusive of hardware, software and connectivity and it is not within the size of domain that one person or a small operation can claim expertise of.
Most peers present expressed the view that IT practitioners should be capable of searching for the information needed to solve a customer problem. We may spend 2 hours or 2 days on the search and we can rightfully invoice the customer for the effort. The issue is certainly a debatable one.
Take a different angle, there is indeed a pressing need for peer members to organize into a bigger pool of specialists rather than duplications of generalists. Why? See how SMB struggles and see how large companies are shielded from fierce competitions? At the same time, we have to accept that most peers went into business as free lancers and few would want to be restrained by corporate rules. This is a choice we have made.
Otherwise, Compucon would be happy to organize something for mutual benefits in 2009. Do email
