Playback of interlaced video on a progressive-scan screen or a screen with a high frames-per-second (FPS) rate may result in unpleasant artifacts like a "comb." Generally, these artifacts are most noticeable on the edges of fast moving objects. Special deinterlace processing is required to suppress comb artifacts.

We offer a high-quality deinterlace solution. In addition to software implementation, the algorithm’s reference C code is also ready for hardware implementation.

Primary Applications

• Flat-panel plasma displays
• 100 Hz progressive-scan television
• LCD displays
• Playback of interlaced video on progressive-scan displays
• Digital video cameras
• Video conversion and transcoding

Key Features

• High visual quality for low-angle edges and static areas
• Preserves scan rate (double rate) (e.g., converts 59.94 fields-per-second video to 59.94 frames-per-second video)
• Fully automatic
• Suitable for hardware implementation

Basic Deliverables

• Source code for a reference implementation in C
• C and assembly language source code for an implementation optimized for the PC (if required)
• Algorithm description
• Software description
• Verification instructions
