Thing that gets me. This is the 720p version... surely people would want the 1080p version? Lol

So if you have newer nvidia based card you can upscale to 4K based off 7 20p

The result is closer to 1440 p

Really? That thing works? Like no pixelization?

It's the same general thing as DLSS in games. Saying 720p > 4k upscaled is comparable to 1440p is pushing it a bit, but overall the tech's pretty impressive.

Have no idea what DLSS is 😂, don't really play games (meeh, an oddball here and there, every 7, 8 years or so).

But I did read about this new tech Nvidia had and I thought it was just BS to be honest. Turns out it's not. Good for us. If it's that good, I guess it could be used to process old SD recordings to make them look at least 720p, which of course is a lot better than plan SD.

This could also come in handy when processing archived material in TV.

Unfortunately the results of, say, 240p > 720p tend to be nowhere near as impressive as 720p > 1440p. Just not enough info for it to play with.

That's OK, I actually need it for 576p beta capured videos, so no worries there 😉. Even if I get 720p out of them, that's more than enough IMO 😉.
