Abstract: An improved image processing system, for converting a conventional low-resolution video signal to a format suitable for transfer to high-resolution film, all while preserving the realistic effects of any motion represented in the original video signal. The system not only reduces the signal's frame rate to a rate compatible with that of the film to be produced, but also eliminates temporal aliasing that arises when the original interlaced video signal undergoes interlacing and frame-rate reduction.
