They play every second line at half speed from the buffer, alternating between even and odd on each frame. Since 31.5KHz is supported by monitors, you don't break them, and can still adapt to the standard TV screen. Difficulty may arise since 50Hz vertical freqyency is a bit on the low side for normal PC monitors...
