deinterlacing

Interlace removal process

Deinterlacing is the process of converting interlaced video—where each frame consists of alternating lines captured at slightly different moments—into progressive video with complete frames.

Older television standards used interlacing to reduce bandwidth; modern displays require deinterlacing to avoid visible artifacts like combing on moving objects.

The DVD player handles deinterlacing automatically.
