• sout-deinterlace-mode <string> : Streaming deinterlace mode. Deinterlace method to use for streaming. The option set is (discard,blend,mean,bob,linear,x,yadif,yadif2x,phosphor,ivtc)
• sout-deinterlace-phosphor-chroma <integer> : Phosphor chroma mode for 4:2:0 input. Choose handling for colours in those output frames that fall across input frame boundaries.
  • Latest: take chroma from new (bright) field. Good for interlaced input, such as videos from a camcorder
  • AltLine: take chroma line 1 from top field, line 2 from bottom field, etc. Default, good for NTSC telecined input (anime DVDs, etc.)
  • Blend: average input field chromas. May distort the colours of the new (bright) field, too
  • Upconvert: output in 4:2:2 format (independent chroma for each field). Best simulation, but requires more CPU and memory bandwidth

The option set is (1 (Latest), 2 (AltLine), 3 (Blend), 4 (Upconvert)) default value: 2

• sout-deinterlace-phosphor-dimmer <integer> : Phosphor old field dimmer strength. This controls the strength of the darkening filter that simulates CRT TV phosphor light decay for the old field in the Phosphor framerate. The option set is (1 (Off), 2 (Low), 3 (Medium), 4 (High)) default value: 2
