Motion Interpolation and the video Soap Opera Effect
Various TV Manufacturers Motion Interpolation implementations
A bit of background....I stopped using a v1 Chromecast over a year ago as 23.976fps Netflix content, displayed at 1080p60Hz had very bad 3:2 pulldown video judder. Anyway I powered it up yesterday and it did two Firmware updates. Now 23.976fps Netflix content, or any other 24p content displays at 1080p60Hz with no video judder and I'm not seeing the dreaded Soap Opera effect from my TV's aggressive Motion Interpolation algorithm either.
What does this have to do with Kodi - well new AMLogic Marshmallow Firmware that I've played around with over the last month on both the Xiaomi Mi Box and the test Firmware on the Hub achieve the same results as the Chromecast.
In fact it looks like a number of video player Manufacturers have implemented new Motion Interpolation Algorithms that visually appear to be superior when outputting 23.976fps video content at 1080p60Hz compared to what consumer grade TV's can achieve.
