) -> Any
Configure MEAN_DIFF
with either individual values or sequences.
You can use either: - Individual thresholds: y1, cb1, cr1, y2, cb2, cr2
- Sequences: thr_max
and thr_mid
y1 / cb1 / cr1¶
These are detail protection thresholds (max difference).
This threshold applies to the maxDif check. maxDif is the largest absolute difference found between the current pixel and any of its four individual cross-shaped reference pixels. If this maxDif is greater than or equal to y1 / cb1 / cr1, the pixel is considered detail.
It helps protect sharp edges and fine details from being blurred by the debanding process.
y2 / cb2 / cr2¶
These are gradient / texture protection threshold (mid-pair difference).
This threshold applies to the midDif checks. midDif measures how much the current pixel deviates from the midpoint of a pair of opposing reference pixels (one check for the vertical pair, one for the horizontal pair). If the current pixel is far from this midpoint (i.e., midDif is greater than or equal to y2 / cb2 / cr2), it might indicate a texture.
This helps distinguish true banding in gradients from textured areas or complex details.
Parameters:
-
y1_or_thr_max

, default:None

Parameters:
-
clip
¶VideoNode
) –Input clip.
-
radius
¶float
, default:16.0

-
grain
¶float | Sequence[float]
, default:0.0
) –Amount of grain/noise to add after debanding. Helps mask residual artifacts. Accepts a float or a sequence per plane. Note: For HDR content, grain can significantly affect brightness — consider reducing or disabling.
-
planes
¶PlanesT
, default:None
) –Which planes to process. Defaults to all planes.
-
iterations
¶int
, default:4
) –Number of debanding steps to perform per sample. More iterations yield stronger effect but quickly lose efficiency beyond 4.
Returns:
-
VideoNode
–Debanded and optionally grained clip.
