Although you'll pay for it, it does do everything in realtime. Now owned by Blackmagic Design the Teranex hardware still performs some fantastic upscaling and standards conversions. The gold standard has usually always been the Teranex system. Upscaling well has always traditionally been extremely pricey.
For most mortals you need to make sure you upload at a resolution well above 1080p to force it to encode in the better codec. Additionally if you upload a 1080p video to YouTube it doesn’t make your video available in the most advanced codec unless you happen to be one of the lucky ones with a few gajillion subscribers. However most 360 cameras and action cameras do suffer from compression artefacts and noise, which makes things more difficult for online streaming systems like YouTube. Ordinarily maybe, if it was shot on a high quality camera to begin with. That’s more than adequate, I hear you say. Why would you want to do this? I have some older productions that I no longer have the masters for, or they are on obsolete media and not easily accessible to me (XDCAM disc anyone?) Furthermore if I shoot and reframe even a modern 360 camera I am generally still limited to a 1080p output.
It might also be that you want to refresh an old edit from analogue or older digital and make it available on more modern platforms and larger screens.īut not all scaling methods are the same, and there’s some software out there that can help improve things even if you don’t scale the footage at all.
However upscaling can be incredibly important, particularly if you are utilising older, lower resolution footage within an edit that contains more recently shot images.
Most people probably don’t think too much about upscaling video because they are usually filming everything from the same camera. Here's our review of Topaz Video Enhance AI, a piece of software that seems to be performing Voodoo magic. Upscaling footage is important when it comes to refreshing older footage, or simply intercutting lower resolution footage with more modern shots.
