What is TBC?

Thanks for your attempt to give some hints.

My question is not about head-switching effects, it mainly is about temporal noise. E.G., there is the hqdn3d filter, which can do both, spacial and temporal denoise. But I'm missing some guidance about using the parameters and in comparision to other denoise filters.
