As far as interlaced vs progressive, I believe it's progressive since it basically uses the same idea as your typical webcam.

Seriously! Everytime I go by the rest area, people just leave their stuff against the wall while they go off to lunch. And everytime I go to the bathroom, I always get that sense of relief that I find my board exactly where I left it. Hmm. Maybe next time, I'll actually take my time to wash my hands... Maybe...
