Hello everyone, Yes, unlike H.264 the HEVC doesn't provide any encoding tools specific to the interlaced format sourced content. Not to say, the 1080i format is well alive and still very important for some broadcasters and markets due to operational distribution infrastructure. Even, if the interlaced format content is to be encoded it can always be deinterlaced prior and as noted no need for re-interlacing it back for display devices. Best regards, Andrew
