Method of integrating format material and an interlace scan format signal

A method of integrating input 60 frame/s format material and a 60 field/s 2:1 interlace scan format digital video signal to produce an output 60 field/s 2:1 interlace scan format digital video signal comprising the steps of:

• producing from the input 60 frame/s format material a 60 frame/s progressive scan format digital video signal;
• converting the 60 frame/s progressive scan format digital signal to a 60 field/s 2:1 interlace scan format digital video signal by a pull-down every field technique;
• and
• combining the converted signal with the input 60 field/s interlace scan format digital video signal to produce a combined digital video signal.
