Image De-interlacer.

Convert an interlaced sequence to a de-interlaced sequence.

Some types of cameras used in StreamPix deliver images that are stored as a combination of odd and even fields (interlaced). The image de-interlacer offers the possibility to retrieve only the odd or the even image field (or both fields) and create a new image sequence.

Field Selection:
Indicate the image field that will be included in the created sequence. The first choice, "Even & Odd", doubles the image frame rate. For one interlaced image, two new images are created ( the first is the even field and the second the odd field). The two other "field selection" choices leaves the frame rate unchanged.

Image Rendering:
Two choices are offered for the image rendering. The first one "None" creates an image that will be half of the source image height. The second choice "Duplicate line" maintains the original image size by averaging the missing lines.

Output Sequence File Name:
This is the place to specify the path and the name of the new sequence.

Automatic Reload:
After a sequence is converted, if that option is checked, the converted sequence will be opened in a new instance of StreamPix.

Typical Usage:

• Load the PlugIn, and make it active (move it to the right hand section of the PlugIn window).
• Open the sequence to be converted (File | Open).
• Select the menu entry Plugins | Apply on Full Sequence.

Note 1: It is mandatory to load the PlugIn and make it active before you open the sequence to be processed.

Note 2: A converted sequence file name is generated directly from the source sequence file name if no name is specified.

Example: If the source sequence file name is my_sequence.seq the converted sequence file name will be my_sequence_deinterlace.seq.
