CASE 01
Broadcast Archive Footage
Used when remastering footage that was broadcast in interlaced form (1080i, 480i) on past terrestrial and cable for modern platforms.

What is De-interlace?
Turns old footage drawn line-by-line (interlaced) into smooth footage drawn frame-by-frame (progressive).

Before / After
Comb artifacts, cleanly removed
Interlaced footage doesn't fit modern screens — the stripes and shimmer show. Both vanish completely.
Why you need it
Why de-interlace?
Old footage doesn't fit modern screen standards. PIXELL converts it to fit modern standards.
Old footage, fitted to modern standards
Old footage broadcast over terrestrial and cable in interlaced form doesn't fit modern screen standards. PIXELL converts it to progressive that fits modern OTT and streaming standards.
Broadcast quality in one click
Broadcast-grade archive conversion typically needs specialized tools. PIXELL analyzes frame pairs to deliver broadcast-grade progressive video in one click.
How it works
AI that analyzes fields precisely
Unlike methods that just fill empty lines, this analyzes frame pairs to weave smoothly. A non-generative approach without hallucination or distortion.
STEP 01
Upload
Drag in your video or pull it from the cloud. The AI auto-detects whether the source is 1080i, 480i, NTSC, or PAL.
STEP 02
AI PIXELL Processing
Analyzes frame pairs to remove stripes and shimmer. Interpolates motion regions naturally without ghosting.
STEP 03
Download
Save in the format you want, or automate via API. Get progressive video with original resolution and detail preserved.
Non-generative
What's different from traditional interpolation?
Unlike methods that fill empty lines with simple copies, PIXELL analyzes adjacent frames so the original isn't degraded.
Traditional Interpolation
Fills empty lines with simple copies.
· Resolution drops by half
· Ghosting in motion regions
· Significant detail loss
PIXELL De-interlace
Analyzes frame pairs together.
· AI interpolation that considers neighboring frames
· Motion regions look natural
· Original resolution and detail preserved
Use cases
Where do interlace stripes show up?
From broadcast feeds to old archives — anywhere de-interlace is needed.
CASE 02
CCTV · Security Cameras
Removes stripes from interlaced security footage so investigators can review and analyze incidents at clear quality.
CASE 03
Legacy Camcorder · DV Tape
Removes interlace stripes from home video shot on Mini DV, Hi8, VHS-C and other legacy camcorders — bringing precious memories back at modern quality.
CASE 04
Sports Broadcast
The faster the action in sports, the more obvious the comb-like stripes get. AI converts even fast motion to smooth progressive.

Frequently asked questions
It is how legacy broadcast formats such as 1080i and 480i recorded alternating odd and even lines. Played back on modern displays, it shows up as comb-like artifacts and flicker. Deinterlacing converts this into smooth progressive video.
It supports interlaced sources such as 1080i and 480i, as well as NTSC and PAL video.
Adjacent frames are analyzed together to remove only the artifacts and flicker, while the original resolution and detail stay intact.
Yes. It is designed to restore footage into progressive video ready for broadcast transmission, and it is used in real broadcast archive remastering.
