Actually, that's 540 lines/field with 2 fields per frame.

Of course, 720p60 is 1280x720 pixels/frame @ 60 frames/second = 55296000
pixels/second. And, 1080i60 is 1920x1080 pixels/frame @ 30
frames/second (i.e. 1920x540 pixels/field @ 2 fields/frame @ 30
frames/second) = 62208000 pixels/second.
Therefore, 720p60 is about 89% as many pixels as 1080i60. Or, 1080i60
is 112.5% the number of pixels of 720p60...
