Apply motion-compensated frame rate conversion

Why frame rate conversion matters

Video content is produced and delivered across regions that follow different broadcast standards. For example:

North America commonly uses 59.94fps
Europe typically used 50 fps
Other regions may use different frame rates depending on workflow or legacy systems.

When distribution content globally, or simply integrating sources from multiple regions, you often need to convert the frame rate so that every output matches the target platform, region, or customer specification.

Frame rate conversion ensures smooth and consistent playback for a given regional standard.

To help you achieve this, Quortex Link provides frame rate conversion option directly in the transcoding preset.

Frame rate conversion

Two distinct conversion modes are available to accommodate a wide variety of content types and quality requirements.

Standard frame rate conversion

This method is included by default as part of the transcoding process.

It is suitable for everyday video content and scenarios where a simple interpolation approach is acceptable. Standard conversion delivers solid results for most use cases with a minimal processing footprint.

InSync FrameFormer: motion-compensated conversion

For higher‑end workflows, Quortex Link integrates FrameFormer, a professional-grade motion‑compensated frame rate conversion technology developed by InSync.

FrameFormer analyzes motion between frames and reconstructs new frames at the target frequency. It ensures it preserves motion smoothness and detail even at drastically different frame rates

This makes FrameFormer ideal for:

Premium sports content
High-motion productions
Broadcast-grade distribution
Any content where visual fidelity is critical

Because of its advanced processing, FrameFormer is offered as an add‑on and billed in addition to the standard transcoding price.

Configuring frame rate conversion in a preset

You can configure frame rate conversion as part of your preset definition in Quortex Link:

Choose the target output frame rate

Select the exact frame rate at which your output should be delivered.

Select the conversion algorithm

Standard (included in transcoding price)
FrameFormer (additional charge)

If the input and output frame rates are identical, no conversion is applied, but the selected frame rate conversion option will still be charged (for FrameFormer).

Be sure to double‑check your configuration when building presets.
