MCFRC Settings
4.5.1.
Standard Settings
MEMC (motion estimation motion compensation) can be switched off by setting FRC (frame rate
conversion) Level to Drop/Repeat.
FRC Level
MEMC is content adaptive. For very busy scenes the full blown MEMC algorithm (highest MEMC setting
= Music & Commercial) may not give the best conversion result and less aggressive global conversion
may do a better job. The FRC level can be set up from Documentary (lowest level) to Music &
Commercial (highest level).
Across the range from Documentary to Music & Commercial there is a gradual increase in the
aggressiveness of handling of larger foreground objects (independent motion) and a corresponding
reduction in handling the background (motion due to camera movement
– pan/tilt/zoom/rotate).
Instead of simply calling these MEMC levels Low through to High, the levels are given names that
attempt to identify types of video content that would typically be appropriate for each level, as an aid to
the user. However, there can of course be considerable variation in the style of content so some clips
might need different settings to get the best results.
FRC levels Documentary, General Sport, Skiing, Football, Grand Prix: RGME (regional global motion
estimation) mode is always on, and will enable blend when scene looks too busy.
