Abstract :
Motion blur is one of the remaining concerns for LCD-TVs. A solution is provided by reducing the sample-and-hold time by driving the LCD-panel at a higher temporal frequency (120 Hz), and additionally properly converting the video signal into a 120 Hz video stream. Applying motion-compensated frame-rate conversion (MC- FRC) technology not only requires sophisticated algorithms but an underlaying video architecture as well which can sustain the high throughput rates, particularly for full HD at 120 Hz. In this paper, we present the algorithm and video architecture which enables the conversion of 120 Hz occlusion-free MC-FRC for up to full HD sources.
