When using TV trigger mode with a Keysight oscilloscope, can I trigger only on even or odd fields?

Yes. All current Keysight scopes with TV triggering are capable of exclusively triggering on odd or even fields. Some models allow you to select Field 1 or Field 2 as the TV trigger source, where Field 1 corresponds to odd fields and Field 2 corresponds to even fields. See the directions below that pertain to your scope model.
