System and method of transmission and display of progressive video with hints for interlaced display

摘要

Systems and methods that transmit and display progressive video with hints for interlaced display are provided. The systems and methods may find use in, for example, digital video compression systems. In one embodiment, a system or a method encodes video by following the native frame rate of the source material and, if desirable, embeds hint information for interlaced display into the coded bitstream. Presentation times for coded pictures may be generated using the hint information. The hint information may be used or ignored.
