# Changing Playback Scan Mode Options

The options in the Scan Mode box let you view interlaced and progressive material correctly when displayed at a size other than their actual size, for example, when you play an HD clip in the standard-sized Player (in Full Res mode, not Proxies), or a clip proxy in the Source Area, or a clip in Frames view in the Record Area. This option defines the method used to resize the current frame.

To change playback scan mode options:

1. Do one of the following:
   - In the standard Player, click the Player Options tab.
   - Display the fullscreen Player.
2. From the Scan option box, select a scan mode for the clip.

   Select: | To:
   --- | ---
   Progressive | Resize the frame as a progressive frame. Use this option for progressive material. When applied to interlaced material, field integrity is not retained.
   Field 1 | Display only field 1 of an interlaced clip when the clip is stopped. Alternate lines are also filled by field 1. On playback, the interlaced resize method is used.
   Field 2 | Display only field 2 of an interlaced clip when the clip is stopped. Alternate lines are also filled by field 2. On playback, the interlaced resize method is used.
   Interlaced | Play back the clip with interlaced scan mode. When this option is selected, field 1 and field 2 are resized separately, and then interlaced, producing better results when playing back interlaced material.
