Bzzt! to all of you.  Resolution doesn't mean number of scan lines.  It means
how many lines can be resolved in the horizontal and vertical directions.

This is determined by that radial line test pattern of converging black
lines on a white board.

My recollection is hazy, but I believe that the best performance (a good
camera connected directly to a monitor) yields about 500 lines of vertical
resolution, and 600 lines of horizontal resolution.
