# DeinterlaceType

Specifies whether to deinterlace the video. In most cases Media Server automatically detects whether the video is interlaced, so you should not need to set this parameter.

You can set this parameter to one of the following values:

- `Auto` - detect whether the video is interlaced and deinterlace if necessary.
- `Off` - never deinterlace video.
- `Always` - always deinterlace video.

Failing to deinterlace an interlaced video can considerably reduce the accuracy of your analysis tasks. Attempting to deinterlace a video that is not interlaced can also reduce the quality of the video frames.
