Deinterlace settings are applied and stored per-device and are applied to all filters and pins associated with a device.

Inverse telecine

Telecine video is NTSC video that was originally created on film at 24 frames per second. In the telecine conversion process, certain fields are repeated in a regular, recurring sequence. If a telecined sequence is viewed directly on a progressive screen, interlacing artifacts are visible.

The inverse telecine process is the reverse of telecine; it drops the redundant fields and reassembles the video in a 24 fps progressive format. Interlacing artifacts are 100 % removed. If the video is viewed at 24 fps, you see the exact timing and sequencing that was on the original film. If the video is viewed at 30 fps, every 5th frame is repeated; however, there are no deinterlacing artifacts.

Telecine and inverse telecine only apply to NTSC video. They are not used for PAL and SECAM video. The Auto and Inverse Telecine buttons are disabled when PAL or SECAM is selected as the video standard.
