RetroRGB | RetroTINK 5x / 4K: 480i VHS Capture @RetroRGB | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
This video walks you through how to use the #RetroTINK 5x and 4K to capture your old home movies in their original 480i format. It also shows how to test HDMI capture cards to see if they’re compatible with interlaced resolutions, or if they force-deinterlace.

To everyone in the broadcast industry who thinks calling 720x480@29.97 "interlaced" is wrong, please read this - We're saying the same thing (60 fields per second, two fields per 'frame'), just using different terms: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlaced_video#Description
