Error Code:
Conversion Error - Combing
Description:
“Combing” is any interlacing artifact introduced to the content image. This is often the result of an incorrect frame rate conversion that does not fully remove interlaced frames.
Impact:
Combing is a very visible issue that is exacerbated by motion on-screen. This creates a very poor member experience as the eye is drawn to the object edges on screen and the viewer is removed from the story.

Issue |
Motion is blurry and trails form alongside the opposite edges of motion. |
How to Prevent:
Use a professional quality hardware or software standards conversion solution when changing from one frame rate to another. Avoid using a non-native frame rate source clip in a sequence of a different frame rate.
Solution:
Ensure that the native frame rate of the source material is being applied. Review the field order that has been flagged in the files header information. If there is a discrepancy you may need to re-transcode or deinterlace.
