  I can't find an authoritative reference, but you see these names when
referring to digital sampling of video signals:

                D1         704 x 480
           half-D1         352 x 480
               SIF         352 x 240
              QSIF         176 x 120
 square pixel QSIF         160 x 120

  Sometimes when they say full D1 they also mention they can do 720x480
too.  Maybe full D1 means 720x480 but I'm pretty sure it's just 704x480
and goes with the SIF/QSIF terminology.  The 704 active samples are
found by taking the full 720 and stripping the first and last 8 samples.

  The implication is that the ones with 480 scanlines are interlaced and
contain two fields, and field order must be specified elsewhere.
