What happens is that a few frames seem to be lost. >Someone will be skating along and all of a sudden mysteriously is >a few feet from where they were last....... I have not seen this problem myself, however your description leads me to believe that the source is begin fed through a digital scan converter or frame storage unit. These devices are capable of storing entire frames. When the source has been identified as unacceptable by the micro controller they fill that particular frame from the image in memory. If this continues longer than one or two frames the human eye begins to pick up on this. These frame store units evolved from the line storage units used to "fill" in lines which had drop-outs from the play back of video tape. The particular line being scanned would be passed through a delay line to enable the system to detect any drop-outs. If any drop-outs existed the previous good line would be used as a filler. The image appears to be quite good actually .....until you find a tape with a crease in it. Dale K. Wlasitz
