Well, I hate to sound like I'm sticking up for them ;^} but I think slo-mo/DT
type stuff is asking a bit much of both the Flyer HW and SW. I think to do it
right you'd have to hold 4 field before and 4 feilds after the current field's
pixles in buffers, look at the new frame-rate, compute and possibley filter
(for drop-out/spurious data) each pixel to come up with an average new pixel
for each pixel in each "interpolated" field in order to get smooth motion with
no color artifacting. And that is really beyond the scope of the Flyer. It's
basically a pick-em-up, pack-em-up, put-em-down system as opposed to an
interpolator. In fact, if they had real-time DT to VTASC (which is what we're
all hinting at here) there would be enough hw and SW horsepower to be able to
do away with external TBCs.
