thumb|500px|SDTV resolution by nation: countries using 480i are in green. 480i is the video mode used for standard-definition digital video in most of the Americas (with the exception of Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay), Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Myanmar. The other common standard definition digital standard, used in the rest of the world, is 576i.
It originated from the need for a standard to digitize analog 525-line TV (defined in BT.601) and is now used for digital TV broadcasts and home appliances such as game consoles and DVD disc players.
