Raster Scan System Random Scan System

The Raster Scan System has lower resolution, stores picture definition as intensity values in a frame buffer, and uses a zig-zag scanning pattern that produces zig-zag lines. It is less expensive than the Random Scan System but cannot provide as realistic a display. The Random Scan System has higher resolution, stores picture definition as line commands in a refresh display file, and uses vector scanning to directly draw smooth lines one at a time. It is more costly than the Raster Scan System but can provide shadowing and hidden surface techniques for realistic scene displays.

Raster Scan System

Random Scan System

Resolutio
n

It has poor or less Resolution because


picture definition is stored as a intensity
value.

It has High Resolution because it stores picture


definition as a set of line commands.

ElectronBeam

Electron Beam is directed from top to

Electron Beam is directed to only that part of

bottom and one row at a time on screen,


but electron beam is directed to whole
screen.

screen where picture is required to be drawn, one


line at a time so also called Vector Display.

Cost

It is less expensive than Random Scan


System.

It is Costlier than Raster Scan System.

Refresh rate is 60 to 80 frame per second.

Refresh Rate depends on the number of lines to be


displayed i.e 30 to 60 times per second.

It Stores picture definition in Refresh


Buffer also called Frame Buffer.

It Stores picture definition as a set of line


commandscalled Refresh Display File.

Zig Zag line is produced because plotted

Smooth line is produced because directly the line

value are discrete.

path is followed by electron beam .

Realism
in display

It contains shadow, advance shading and


hidden surface technique so gives
the realistic display of scenes.

It does not contain shadow and hidden surface


technique so it can not give realistic display of
scenes.

Image
Drawing

It uses Pixels along scan lines for drawing


an image.

It is designed for line drawing applications and


uses various mathematical function to draw.
