scanning lines. Unfortunately, this can result in motion blur. Horizontal lines in
the scene can flicker on and off. Other areas can suffer from an unnatural
shimmer. For this reason, any high-end progressive scanning system must solve
the problem of motion artifacts for footage shot on video.

I/P conversion of interlaced video originated material. The red pixel, on
an even scanning line needs to be created for the current, odd field. If
not done properly, this can result in zipper-like edges on moving objects,
line flicker and unnatural shimmering.
Sony's Pixel-by-Pixel Active I/P conversion overcomes these problems
with built-in motion detection and three distinct video conversion algorithms: one
for still objects, a second for moving objects and a third, just for slow-moving
objects. As with film origination, the algorithms are applied separately for each
individual pixel. So all three can be applied to different parts of any given scene!
