Highlighting De-Interlace and pressing the
button toggles between On and Off. When set to On, the DVR will
turn the de-interlace filter on while recording video with Very High (D1) resolution.
NOTE: The video signal has a time difference of 1/60 second (1/50 second for PAL) between odd and even fields
because it is composed of 60 interlaced fields per second (50 fields for PAL). When recording video with
Very High (D1) resolution, video is made up of frame units combining two fields – one odd field and one
even field. This can cause horizontal scan lines or flashes in areas with motion because of the time
difference between the two fields. Turning on the de-interlace filter provides clearer video by eliminating
these horizontal scan lines and flashes.
