Introduction

Blending is bad.


The field blending process

1. A single interlaced frame. It has two distinct fields, which I will call field A and field B, happening a split second apart.

2. The fields have been split. Field A has the even-numbered lines, while field B has the odd-numbered lines.

3. The actual vertical height of field A and B. Nothing necessarily bad has happened yet...

4. Problem number one! The fields are resized to the original height. Vertical detail is lost.

5. The final stage. Field A and B are blended together at different opacities. The result is a "ghosting" effect.
