# True Motion de-interlacing

True Motion is MediaKind’s motion-compensated de-interlacing technology. It converts interlaced video to progressive video using advanced de-interlacing, cross-scaling, and inverse telecine filters, and doubles the frame rate of interlaced sources to produce smooth content for OTT players.

> When the input is progressive, enabling True Motion has no effect. Live Encoder does not double frames for progressive sources.

## Frame rate conversion

For interlaced inputs, True Motion doubles the frame rate. For example, a 1080i30 input becomes a 1080p60 output.

| Ingest   | OTT Configuration  | Output   |
| -------- | ------------------ | -------- |
| 1080i30  | 1080 True Motion    | 1080p60  |
| 1080p30  | 1080 True Motion    | 1080p30  |
| 1080i30  | 720p True Motion    | 720p60   |
| 1080p30  | 720p True Motion    | 720p30   |

## Benefits

**For end users:** Video does not present interlace artifacts on progressive displays.

**For operators:** Content is adapted to internet TV constraints without loss of fine detail.

## Enable True Motion

1. Open the service configuration and go to the **Media Processing** tab.
2. In the **Video Pre Filtering** section, enable the **True Motion** option.
3. Select the target OTT configuration (for example, **1080 True Motion** or **720p True Motion**).
4. Select **Save and continue** or **Save and exit** to apply the changes.
