Pictured on this page is one of the tests that shows how good the DVD player is at detecting 3:2 source material. In other words, the video processor has to be able to dectect whether the source material is film based (24 frames per second) or video based (30 frames a second) and display the source material correctly on the screen, so as to avoid artifacts. In the case of the race car and grandstand shown in this photo, if the video processor is poor the grandstand would display a moire pattern on the seats ( see example ).

However, if the DVD Player has good video processing, the Moire Pattern will not be visible or only visible during the first five frames of the cut. As shown in this photo, the moire pattern is not present, when compared to the the moire pattern photo example. This indicates very good performance of the Samsung BD-P1500 with regards to accurate processing of film or video-based content.
