Excuse me for being ignorant, I don't really watch much TV, but:
Why do they need this feature for sports? Couldn't they broadcast the sports at 60Hz? If they don't broadcast sports at 60Hz, then what framerate are they broadcasting it at, and what are the 60Hz TV's intended for in the first place?
- mrob 7y ago60fps is still too low for very fast motion, of which sports is a notable example. And the focal point of most sports is a ball, which moves along predictable paths, so motion smoothing can do a good job of increasing the frame rate to the point where the sample-and-hold blur of 60fps isn't visible.
- Aardwolf 7y agoSo do the televisions use 120 fps then? Phew, then at least displaying 24 fps movies without interpolation should be possible because 120 is an integer multiple of 24.
- mrob 7y agoYes, or higher than 120fps. And 120fps can indeed be used to show 24fps with consistent frame timing (as well as 30fps and 60fps, so it's a convenient frame rate).
- Aardwolf 7y agoIt's got to be bad for cycle or motorcycle sport by the way. I saw some videos on youtube showing the motion smoothing in slo-mo, and heads and bodies were moving at different speeds between frames with this.
