Details
Definition
Used in Checks, the system shall detect the time segments with incorrect field order (different than the expected value provided in input). Optionally it may report the measured field-order and the mismatches.

Used in Reports, the system shall report the field order over the video timeline.

Examples

  • Input: "Field Order Expected" = upper field first
    Output: "Check Result" = false
    Output: "Field Order Mismatch Segment" = lower field first from 00:00:15:00 to 00:00:27:21
    Output: "Field Order Mismatch Segment" = lower field first from 00:01:24:01 to 00:01:33:21

    Remark: Used as a Check
    CheckResult == false means that the test failed because at least one segment was found with field order not matching the expected value.

  • Input: none
    Output: "Field Order Measurement Segment" = upper field first from 00:00:00:00 to 00:00:14:24
    Output: "Field Order Measurement Segment" = lower field first from 00:00:15:00 to 00:00:27:21

    :
    Output: "Field Order Measurement Segment" = lower field first from 00:01:33:22 to 00:01:35:21

Remarks
This test item is to identify reversed field order artefacts which can appear as motion judder. Although accurate detection may be possible, some reported errors may require operator interpretation.
