Rocky1, the SOE is the opposite of what you are used to seeing on a video display.
You probably grew up as did most of us, watching NTSC standard-definition programming, that for the most part was shot on FILM at 24fps. Then the film was "telecined" to broadcast this 24fps over a 60Hz NTSC video signal, which gave a distinct and uneven on-screen motion to moving objects, and frequent "artifacts" which resulted from interlacing.
The other and less utilized practice for recording video productions, was to shoot the production straight onto video tape at either a 30fps or 60fps frame rate. This provided an extra clarity and a natural movement that film material lacked. For many years the main uses of video recordings were 1) Soap Operas and 2) camcorders used for news broadcasts. These 30fps or 60Hz video recordings (interlaced to 60Hz), displayed an extra clarity not seen on film recordings.
In truth the 24fps film standard was established by Thomas Edison in 1896, with the motive of standardizing the commercial theaters for more profit, allowing any studiio's film to be shown in any theater. For over a century, 24fps was THE standard.
Nowadays with ATSC broadcasts, many prime time series are shot directly onto videotape, such as the "Law and Order" series, with the irritating hand-held cameras. But the ATSC standard does not allow enough bandwidth for a 720p60 broadcast when the camera pans - it forces every pixel to change in every frame, and the digital compression is overwhelmed and the image displays a flaw called "macro-blocking of pixels", especially if some of the bandwidth was stolen with multiple SD "sub-channels".
However when that same video signal is played back from a DVD or Blu-Ray disk, there is not a bandwidth limitation, and incredible fidelity can be had. For example, stick a Blu-Ray recording of the BBC series Planet Earth into your player, and output the 60Hz video signal to a 120Hz or 240Hz LCD display. The result is incredible fidelity, as good ast it gets - you almost get vertigo and think you are looking through a pane of glass into another world.
That is SOE. Some of us LOVE IT, because it frees us from the 100-year-old limitations of film.
Nickle15, the 24Hz video will look nearly exactly like film in a theater on a 120Hz display, a series of frames where the image changes 24 times/sec. With frame interpolation OFF, the output frame buffer of the display will repeat each input frame 5 times, "5:5 pulldown", and if you are viewing in complete darkness, it will look remarkably like film. However if you turn on room lighting, you will start to notice flicker as the 24fps video and the 60Hz lighting interact at night. You can minimize this effect by using incandescent room lighting, which does not vary in intensity as much as does flourescent lighting.
But IMHO the very best result involves MCFI, Motion Compensating Frame Interpolation, which synthesizes frames between the input video frames. Film lovers call it "SOE" and discuss it as being "unreal". I find this curious - because the high frame rate video approximates real life, where objects have an effectively infinite frame rate.
