- Display Port to Composite Video S-Video Converter (LKV386) connected to matrox outputs

I do the incoming video both record with Max and later playback with Max onto one of the monitors, and also i do distribute them directly on the monitors with max.

Image quality is fine and almost no latency, but if i move a camera very fast (the whole image is moving) i can see 1 -3 horizontal lines on the image in the monitor.

My capture card has a deinterlace-modus that i switched on, but still i can see sometimes these 1-3 lines with very fast movement.

Is there something i can do within max (i tried jit.demultiplex without success), or has anybody on this list an idea which part in the gear chain could be maybe optimized.

understanding-deinterlacing

isn't it the last step reintroducing interlacing?

hard to tell without seeing the actual lines but it could also be that the movement is too fast in relation to the camera's frame rate and causes visual artifacts.

btw, interlacing shows in jagged edges, something like this:

not sure if the 3 lines you're talking about are something like this.

i did not think about the cams framerate, that is a good point！ i have the small lines both on playback on my crt monitors and on my digital connected computer display. it is not so bad, but would be more happy if i could get rid of it. i will try some more stuff the next ywo days, but might upload 5 secs of footage later and would be happy if you have a short view on it if i do not get along with that.
