Hello,

I would like to keep the interlaced field when I use the Wowza Transcoder.

For example, the original live stream has 25Mbps (H.264) with the interlaced field, then I want to keep the interlaced field and create a new 8Mbps H.264 live stream.

I could see the deinterlace option in the Decoding settings tab.

[https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-transcoder-for-live-streaming](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-set-up-and-run-wowza-transcoder-for-live-streaming)

If I do not check the “Deinterlace source stream”, then the transcoded live stream has interlaced field.

Is this correct?

Best regards,

Taka
