Flicker fixer

<p>One computer capable of producing an interlaced image is the <a href="/facts/Amiga/60B3A9of">Amiga</a>.  The Amiga's default video mode is <a href="/facts/PAL/t8TugcxK">PAL</a> or <a href="/facts/NTSC/HYWIvxCR">NTSC</a>. NTSC and PAL interlaced screens have two fields called odd and even.  The fields switch every 60th of a <a href="/facts/Second/jtFxnJXx">second</a> on NTSC, or 50th of a second on PAL, which allows for higher resolution while using a narrower signal <a href="/facts/Bandwidth_(signal_processing)/7eMDzfJI">bandwidth</a> than full 50 or 60 <a href="/facts/Frame_rate/sbRkc9xa">FPS</a> progressive video would require, but it can also produce an alarming <a href="/facts/Jitter/UpLIJDVQ">jittering</a> effect for graphics with high contrast details between fields.  This NTSC/PAL compatibility gave the Amiga a distinct edge in uses such as television production and <a href="/facts/Computer_game/vmTdNASJ">gaming</a>, but since the original Amigas were unable to produce vertically high-resolution displays without flickering this was unsuitable for office-like usage where one might need to work with a clear high-resolution image for several hours.  Flicker fixers were devised to remedy this.
</p><p>The later iteration of the Amiga - the <a href="/facts/Amiga_3000/qYX3FbNw">Amiga 3000</a> had a custom chip called <a href="/facts/Amiga_custom_chips/lTJCd6tB">Amber</a> which could perform flicker-fixing on any signal. The <a href="/facts/Enhanced_Chip_Set/hDD0ypXz">ECS</a> and <a href="/facts/Advanced_Graphics_Architecture/DNQsEsDC">AGA</a> <a href="/facts/Chipset/0xU3kbVI">chipset</a> could also output VGA display modes. Commodore offered the A2320 Display Enhancer Board for this purpose,<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110517230430/http://amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=360">[1]</a> The board fit neatly in a video graphics adapter slot on the A2000 series computer. It supported the new video modes offered by the <a href="/facts/Amiga_Enhanced_Chip_Set/hDD0ypXz">Enhanced Chip Set</a> (ECS) and <a href="/facts/AmigaOS/1E2k1fuN">AmigaOS</a> 2.0, including the Productivity Mode. Also, the earlier A2024 'Hedley' greyscale monitor featured an integrated flicker fixer, supporting up to 8 shades of grey.
