All content tends to contain some noise, the random and unwanted portion of a signal. Even modern facilities equipped with the latest digital production equipment will inevitably import noisy content unless the incoming material is thoroughly cleaned. Noise reduction (NR) and filtering can substantially improve the video received by a viewer if the right techniques are applied to remove noise prior to compression. Selectively removing noise is a challenge because it shares space with valuable picture detail. An ideal noise reduction process will allow powerful suppression of random noise while preserving clean video content. The major advantage of MCTF is its inherent ability to remove noise without introducing motion blur artifacts. This technique has been known for many years, but the costs associated with a high processing overhead has kept it from being commercially viable. This paper will explain how integration of the new MCTF technique with existing technologies has dramatically improved video-compression efficiency.", "abstract$meta": { "confidence": "high", "note": "Parsed from NLM article XML (_source/SMPTE/HIGHWIRE/Source Bak/smptej/10.5594_J16412.xml)", "source": "parsed", "updated": "2026-05-22T21:44:19.125Z", "version": "smpte-journal-article-nlm@v1" }, "authors": [ { "bio": "Neil Brydon currently leads the marketing team responsible for development and delivery of Harmonic's MPEG-2 encoder family.
