In video broadcasting, bad strobing refers to a
frame rate which is too slow for a person's eyes to deal with. Slow frame
rates result in viewing somewhat of a stuttered motion on the screen. Bad
strobing is commonly associated with interlaced
scanning.
Interlaced video Interlaced video exploits various technical possibilities of video broadcasting, to reduce the frame rate (and therefore the transmission bandwidth), while avoiding a frame rate that would be too slow for the eyes to to cope with (bad strobing).
