Random Scan & Raster Scan

COPYRIGHT © First Code - Let's Begin


Random Scan Monitors
• Random Scan System uses an electron beam which operates like a
pencil to create a line image on the CRT screen.
• The picture is constructed out of a sequence of straight-line
segments. Each line segment is drawn on the screen by directing the
beam to move from one point on the screen to the next, where its x
& y coordinates define each point.
• After drawing the picture. The system cycles back to the first line and
design all the lines of the image 30 to 60 time each second. The
process is shown in fig:

• Random-scan monitors are also known as vector displays or stroke-
writing displays or calligraphic displays.

Advantages
• A CRT has the electron beam directed only to the parts of the screen
where an image is to be drawn.
• Produce smooth line drawings.
• High Resolution

Disadvantages
• Random-Scan monitors cannot display realistic shades scenes.

Raster Scan Monitors
• A Raster Scan Display is based on intensity control of pixels in the
form of a rectangular box called Raster on the screen.
• Information of on and off pixels is stored in refresh buffer or Frame
buffer.
• Televisions in our house are based on Raster Scan Method.
• The raster scan system can store information of each pixel position, so
it is suitable for realistic display of objects.
• Raster Scan provides a refresh rate of 60 to 80 frames per second.
• Frame Buffer is also known as Raster or bit map.
• In Frame Buffer the positions are called picture elements or pixels.

• Beam refreshing is of two types. First is horizontal retracing and
second is vertical retracing.
• When the beam starts from the top left corner and reaches the
bottom right scale, it will again return to the top left side called at
vertical retrace. Then it will again move horizontally from top to
bottom call as horizontal retracing shown in fig:

Types of Scanning or travelling of beam in Raster Scan
i. Interlaced Scanning
ii. Non-Interlaced Scanning
In Interlaced scanning, each horizontal line of the screen is traced from
top to bottom. Due to which fading of display of object may occur.
This problem can be solved by Non-Interlaced scanning. In this first of
all odd numbered lines are traced or visited by an electron beam, then
in the next circle, even number of lines are located.

Advantages
• Realistic image
• Million Different colors to be generated
• Shadow Scenes are possible.

Disadvantages
• Low Resolution
• Less Expensive

It has high Resolution Its resolution is low.
It is more expensive It is less expensive
Any modification if needed is easy Modification is tough

Solid pattern is tough to fill Solid pattern is easy to fill


Refresh rate depends or resolution Refresh rate does not depend on the

It does not use interlacing method. It uses interlacing

It is restricted to line drawing applications It is suitable for realistic display.
