- Source Material: The best available source—commercial DVD releases (NTSC, 480p, 4:3 aspect ratio) or broadcast captures. These contain inherent compression artifacts and interlacing.
- Deinterlacing & Cleaning: Before upscaling, scripts (e.g., QTGMC in AviSynth) were used to convert interlaced video to progressive frames and remove dot crawl and chroma noise.
- AI Model: The core was a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) , often based on ESRGAN (Enhanced Super-Resolution Generative Adversarial Networks) or Topaz Video Enhance AI.
