Fields [FLDs]
The Fields node
Fields Node Introduction
The Fields node is a robust multipurpose utility offering several functions related to interlaced
video frames. It interpolates video fields into frames or video frames into fields. Although the
interlace preference and method type is defined in the MediaIn or Loader, and generators, this
node can be used to assist in the standards conversion of PAL to NTSC and provides the ability
to process fields and frames for specific portions of a node tree.
This node can also interlace two separate images together into a single interlace image.
Thebackground input is the dominate field 1 and the foreground is field 2.
Inputs
The single input on the Fields node is used to connect a 2D image and an effect mask, which
can be used to limit the blurred area.
–
Stream1 Input: The orange background input is used for the primary 2D image that
is interpolated or converted.
–
Stream2 Input: The optional green foreground input is only used when merging two
interlaced images together.
Basic Node Setup
The Fields node below is used to convert the background image from a PAL interlaced format
to progressive frames.
The background image can be modified to various interlaced formats
