While I was at a friend's house that I noticed how blurry and jagged Switch games looked on a 4K display minus the mClassic.

Key Features

Upscaling

A high-performance scaler aims to create high resolution images from low resolution sources that are visually indistinguishable from native high resolution images. Our scaler delivers an exceptional performance from 1/2 million pixels to 2 million pixels (SD to HD) and 2 million to 8 million pixels (HD to 4K Cinema) with no compromises on color processing. The result is the cleanest and clearest image for both modern, and legacy content.

Anti-Aliasing

The images on your TV, VR or monitor are made of tiny squares called pixels. But real-life objects have rounded edges. This conflict causes images to shimmer or appear "jaggy", a stair-step looking edge from square pixels trying to create a curve. Our anti-aliasing algorithm delivers amazing results without causing a known blurring effect in graphics, especially on the sharp edges and small textures.

Depth of Field

One technique that many photographers use to add a “wow factor” to their images is to shoot with a shallow depth of field. In doing so they isolate part of the shot which is nicely in focus while throwing elements in the background (and sometimes the foreground) out of focus and into a lovely blur. Our depth of field algorithm takes on the challenge of identifying both foreground and background aspects of the image and determines the relevant zone of interest to create the best possible picture in real time.

Sharpening

Graphic video processors typically focus on either the “sharpness” or “naturalness” of an image. mClassic ensures the image is in perfect balance. Our advanced real-time algorithms deliver a stunningly beautiful picture with color clarity and details exactly as intended by the game developer.
