IMX NTSC Reverse Fields (Advanced)
IMPORTANT: First p
lease read the section ‘Special Note: IMX NTSC MOV files created for FCP’ in this User Guide when
dealing with IMX NTSC MOV files where the MOV file- wrapper is ‘tagged’ as having ‘Lower-Field’ first or Undefined fields.
In most applications that use Calibrated{Q} IMX Decode (Adobe AE/PPro, Sony Vegas, etc.) you can override the MOV
file ‘Lower-Field’ first (or ‘Undefined’ field type) tagging by telling the application you are using that the IMX NTSC MOV
file is in fact ‘Upper-Field’ first. This is usually done by a setting in the application – please consult your application’s
manual on how to do this. This is the recommended workflow. If needed you can set this setting to have Calibrated{Q}
IMX Decode act like Apple’s IMX Codec and decode an IMX NTSC video frame as ‘Lower-Field’ first. Please note though
that this is a very advanced option.
There are three options:
• OFF (DEFAULT) – This is the default option where no line shifting is done when decoding IMX NTSC
video frames.
• AUTO (Advanced) – Calibrated{Q} IMX Decode will ONLY (on decoding a IMX NTSC video frame) shift
up the picture by one scan-line and fill the last scanline with an all-black line IF the .MOV file wrapper is
‘tagged’ as ‘Lower-Field’.
• ALWAYS (Advanced) - Calibrated{Q} IMX Decode will ALWAYS (on decoding a IMX NTSC video frame)
shift up the picture by one scan-line and fill the last scanline with an all-black line.
