The feature of the segment frame is that there is no movement in the fi rst frame (Segment A) and the second frame (Segment B).
When these two frames are synthesized, one progressive signal can be created.
PsF (Progressive segmented Frame) method has been widely used from the time when the 24P format appeared. That is because
this method enables to create the conventional interlace equipment without making a large difference.
In addition, in recent years, there are more cases that this method is used for the time lapse video effect in television broadcasting,
as the 1080PsF29.97 signals can be used as 1080i59.94, and the 1080PsF25 signals can be used as 1080i50.
