Natural Motion extended to PC applications |

Philips’ Digital Natural Motion (DNM)
is a highly successful technology to produce a perfectly smooth
impression of moving objects in film material. This is achieved
by real-time calculating and displaying intermediate images
between two original frames. Chips providing the functionality
are widely applied in TV sets.
Philips Research has now developed a full software version of DNM, providing the same functionality as hardware solutions. The software library runs on standard PC processors (e.g. Pentium 1.7 GHz). This makes the benefits of the technology also available to the PC, where the reproduction of multimedia content is rapidly gaining popularity, for example in Internet movies, TV rendering on the PC or motion picture playback from DVD. DNM on PC exploits the temporal resolution capability of state-of-the-art monitors, which is currently not fully utilized. Because the technology runs on the receiver side, no additional bandwidth of the transmission channel is required in broadcast applications. Philips will license the technology, dubbed Trimension™, to OEM customers, including component manufacturers and system integrators in the PC industry. |
