That seems like a gimmick and I actually prefer SDR video that is not upscaled. There is something ugly about those AI treated videos. They look fake.
AI-Powered Nvidia RTX Video HDR Transforms Standard Video into HDR Video

#12I could see a future where this works really well. It doesn't seem to be the case right now though. The "super resolution" showcased in the video seemed almost identical to adjusting the "sharpness" in any basic photo editing software. That is to say, perceived sharpness goes up, but actual conveyed details stays identical.
Allegedly the new one plus phone does this trick in real time as well as up sampling and interframe motion interpretation. Mrwhostheboss seems impressed, but I don't really trust his yet judgment on these things.

#13I'm curious - what's the best open-source video upscaling library out there?
I looked back about a year ago, and it didn't seem like there were any good open-source solutions.

They claim to preserve color detail that was lost due to compression of the dynamic range. What's wrong with that?

An HN search of ''Deep Space Nine'' and ''Topaz'' will show some great discussions here covering the dearth of such upscaling solutions, as well as some huge efforts before commonplace AI.

Not the OP, but you have to understand that 'compression of the dynamic range' is an artistic tool. Literally choosing the lighting ratio of an image is how you build out lighting for a scene. With AI overwriting these choices, you're looking at something more akin to colorization than upscaling.

#17Now it will be absolutely impossible to accurately convey the artistic intent, when there's no way to know how it will look on consumer devices.

Topaz is light years ahead of any open source solution unfortunately.

#19A bit of a let down that the video demoing SDR->HDR conversion is itself only published in SDR. Makes as much sense as demoing a colorization tool in a grayscale video!
YouTube tends to post a downscaled SD version first, then they encode and post the higher-res versions when they get around to it. This can take days in some cases. Meanwhile the creator catches the flak...

I guess. There's a lot of details we don't know that would change the calculus on this. To use a analogous workflow, it could be like saying, "It's pointless to shoot video in 10-bit log if it's going to be displayed on Rec.709 at 8-bits." It completely leaves out available transforms and manipulations in HDR that do have a noticeable impact even when SDR is the target. Again, we can't know if it's important given th…
