Tab Description
Output
• Allows users to set the output destination (Figure 111).
• Check Save to file if you want to save the content to a file.
• Remember the encoder system references the file name and not the system
running SCX Explorer.
• When Niagara SCX and SCX Explorer exist on different computers, always
start your browse for files at My Network Places and work down or enter
the entire file pathname beginning with the system name.
• If you simply enter a file name, you may inadvertently browse your local
computer when the media file resides on the remote computer.

and deinterlacing (Figure 112).
• You can select deinterlace options.
• The system accepts settings for inverse telecine and motion
adaptations/thresholds.
Deinterlace Filter
• Removes artifacts that the system can introduce when encoding NTSC,
PAL, or SECAM formatted video.
• These artifacts usually manifest as jaggedness around a moving object.
• Settings include off, auto, inverse telecine, motion adaptations, and motion
threshold
Inverse Telecine
• You generally photograph movie film at 24 frames per second (fps).
• When you convert a film into digital video at 30 fps, the system adds extra
frames by merging frames together or copying entire frames.
• Developers refer to the film-to-video conversion process as telecine.
• The inverse-telecine filter looks for frames added during a telecine process
and removes them.
• This eliminates redundant encoding and improves the quality of the
encoded frames.
