While it's true that the resolution of NTSC (American standard) is 720x480, the pixels are not square - they are about 1 high and 0.9 wide. This means that, though the resolution is 720x480, the aspect ratio of the image is actually 640x480, or 4:3. The answer when all the math is done is that, for NTSC, you want to scan to end up with an image that is 640x480 pixels. Whichever program is used to convert the image to a signal viewable on an NTSC monitor will take care of converting 640 square pixels to 720 rectangular pixels. Programs like Adobe Premier and Apple's Final Cut Pro do this automatically.
