The 300-330 lines of resolution for video does NOT equal pixel resolution.
 
It's very hard to pin-point a "video" resolution in pixel resolution. 
Consider that 480 pixels of horizontal resolution is about equal to NTSC's 525
scanlines.
 
Broadcast television is about 330 lines of vertical "video" resolution...some
prosumer camcorders and video decks have much higher (SVHS= 425, EDBeta= 520).
 
As someone wrote in a message to me, the PIXEL resolution of DCTV is 736x482.
