Is the high end video processing market ever going to start creating processors that interpolate 24 frames into 60 frames and larger to create ultra smooth video?

I have a pioneer 141 and love the smoothness of 24 into 60 interpolated however sometimes theres alot of artifacts that get annoying. I wish Radiance or DVDO could make a processor that does this flawlessly.

Any ideas?


Thanks , Chris

60fps aren't worth the effort. We would need 120 or 240 frames per second and - more important in the first place - we need interconnects between the processors and the TVs which can handle and accept 1080p120/240. At the moment this is not possible.

Displays really have to catch up first.

Huh? Don't you just need 60fps to transmit 60fps? I get the impression you aren't talking about what I think you are. What am I missing?

of course you only need a 1080p60 signal to transfer 60fps, but with motion interpolation 60fps is - let's say - outdated. My 2007 Sony XBR5 does 120Hz with 120 frames and newer TVs do 240Hz with 240 frames - - so it's not really worth into getting 60fps using external processors.

For 60fps there was a Cinemateq processor called Motion Enhancer Pro. Had SDI input and DVI output. Very much like what the earlier Philips DNM solutions looked like.

Technology to interpolate frames like this is still not really very good.

IMO, the frame interpolation is still far enough and won't be easy. How many scalers are good at doing perfect motion adaptive de-interlacers yet after so many years? So, that gives some idea over how difficult the frame interpolation to 60Hz will be, let alone 120 Hz or 240 Hz.

I am not saying it won't be possible, but it won't be available in near future either.
