Video Filters
Video filters are more utilitarian in nature, and can be used to help prepare a project for
broadcast output.
Broadcast Safe
This filter limits the range of luminance or chrominance in an image to the broadcast
legal limit.
Parameters in the Inspector
Video Type: Sets the rule set to be used for filtering image data. Value can be NTSC or
PAL.
Fix Method: Sets the type of fix to be made to the image. Value can be Reduce
Luminance or Reduce Saturation.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Video Type and Fix Method controls.
Deinterlace
This filter deinterlaces an interlaced object using one of several possible methods.
Parameters in the Inspector
Dominant Field: Selects the dominant field. Value can be Upper or Lower.
Method: Sets how the object is interlaced. The method can be Duplicate, Interpolate,
or Blend.
• Duplicate: The non-dominant field is eliminated, and the data from the dominant
field is duplicated to fill in the missing lines.
• Interpolate: The non-dominant field is eliminated, and a new field is created by
averaging each pair of adjacent video lines to create new ones.
• Blend: The non-dominant field is eliminated, and new lines are created by averaging
the eliminated line along with each pair of adjacent video lines.
Dashboard controls
The Dashboard contains the Dominant Field and Method controls.
