A change in field order between an input video frame and an output video
frame or an input video frame being displaced by an odd number of
scan-lines with respect to an output video frame, may introduce out of
order fields in the output video frame. A method (700), apparatus and
computer program product for generating an interlaced video stream from
one or more interlaced input video streams and graphical objects is
disclosed. The method (700) enables input video streams to be transformed
(e.g., scaled and translated) to generate an interlaced video stream. The
method (700) ensure that the fields of an output video frame are in
correct order by shifting a corresponding input video frame down by one
scan-line.
