3:2 pulldown detection for NTSC video and 2:2 film detection for PAL — These advanced film mode processing features help maximize image detail and sharpness for video sources that originated from film. When film is converted to NTSC video, the film frame rate has to be matched to the video frame rate in a process called 3:2 pulldown. Jaggies and other image artifacts can result if conventional deinterlacing techniques are used on film-source video. The MGP 464’s advanced film mode
