Houdini 22.0 Nodes Compositing nodes

Field Split compositing node

Splits an interlaced frame into two fields per frame (odd and even fields).

Old network

As of Houdini 20.5, use Copernicus nodes instead of Compositing nodes. Though both networks still exist, the Compositing network is now designated as COP Network - Old. The Compositing network and its nodes will be deprecated and then removed in a future Houdini release.

This operation splits a frame into 2 fields containing the even and odd scanlines of the frame. The resulting sequence will be twice as long as the original.

Alternatively, only the even or odd scanlines can be extracted from the frame, in which case the resulting sequence will be as long as the input sequence.

Parameters

Split

The split operation.

Frame to 2 Fields

Splits each frame into 2 fields. The sequence will be twice as long.

Odd Fields

Extracts the odd scanlines from each frame. The sequence length remains unaffected.

Even Fields

Extracts the even scanlines from each frame. The sequence length remains unaffected.

Field Dominance

The field dominance of the new sequence.

Odd Dominant (Field 1)

The odd scanlines (1,3,5…) appear in the first field of the video pair.

Even Dominant (Field 2)

The even scanlines (2,4,6…) appear in the first field of the video pair.
