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 😉.

EDIT: I found this.
