Set MEMC Mode
Background
Motion Estimation Motion Compensated (MEMC) Frame Rate Conversion (FRC) creates temporally
correct motion in a sequence of pictures when the number of pictures per second is changed.
Basic Linear Frame Rate Converters either duplicate frames to increase the frame count or drop
frames to reduce the frame count.
A variation to this idea is to use an ‘aperture’ setting which causes the stepping of either dropped or
duplicated frames to be blurred.
Neither is desirable, MEMC processing solves this by synthesizing new intermediate frames.
Below are two pictures of the same scene.
MEMC FRC will result in the appearance shown in the first picture. Moving parts of the picture such
as the lady on the swing and the man pushing her remain crisp.
Picture 1 MEMC FRC conversion preserves the clear image of the moving parts of the picture
