It's not just a game, it's an experience
mClassic Retro
We’re tackling the complexity of diverse content created for different hardware across multiple video game console generations, all displayed on modern high-resolution screens. To address this, we’ve developed an intelligent video processor with advanced algorithms that detect and retrofit gaming content for any display.
The new Classic
PLAY OLD GAME LIKE IT’S NEW.
mClassic maintains the original essence of the game—preserving color, composition, lighting, camera angles, movement, and sound—while elevating the overall visual experience on your modern TV.
Enhanced Picture
CLEAR. SHARP. COLORFUL.
mClassic intelligently analyzes the scene in real time, balancing smoothness with high-resolution detail. It upscales your retro game resolutions (480p - 1440p) with no detriment to color processing. The processor removes jagged edges from textures without blurring them, delivering crisp visuals.
Bring Retro to Modern Times
MORE IMMERSIVE GAMEPLAY.
mClassic’s AI-driven algorithm dynamically enhances contrast and definition at the pixel level, giving the visuals more depth, sharper focus, and clearer details. This immersive upgrade helps players concentrate on the action rather than distracting visual imperfections often exposed by modern screens, and other poorer upscaling devices.
Easy to Use
HDMI PLUG AND PLAY
Plug mClassic into a 3rd part HDMI converter (not included) compatible with your game console. Connect the HDMI cable to a TV/Monitor. Power the device with the included Micro USB cable plugged into an available USB port or AC adapter.
Optimal Gameplay
TAKE FULL CONTROL
The AI algorithm works automatically to enhance your retro visuals, no video processing expertise required. Enjoy an upgraded gaming experience on classic platforms like the Microsoft Xbox, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo GameCube, and PlayStation 2.
Zero-Lag Processing
ENHANCED GAMEPLAY. ZERO-LAG.
Input lag is critical for gaming, and the mClassic ensures real time processing with virtually no delay. It enhances graphics without adding any latency to the gaming experience.
Powered by New Algorithms
The mClassic Retro uses new advanced algorithms optimized for a more authentic retro gaming experience in 4:3 aspect ratio over HDMI. It maintains the hallmark of mClassic processing: zero lag time.
Take Full Control
Fine-tune your visuals effortlessly with the external sliding switch on the side of the device for a tailored experience on your large TV. Choose from three algorithmic processing modes to match your setup—including your retro game, video console, and large screen.
01
OG Retro Mode is identical visual enhancements to the original mClassic Retro Mode. It enhances Retro graphics in real-time by reducing visual artifacts commonly seen on modern displays, such as 4K TVs. Our built-in processor delivers high performance Anti-Aliasing, 1440p Up-Scaling, Depth of Field Processing, and Image Sharpening for better pixels.
TIPS: 6th Gen Console Games look fantastic in OG Retro Mode on high-end 4K TVs.
02
Vintage Retro Mode employs new algorithms to deliver a more authentic gaming experience, replicating the look and feel of CRT era games. While mClassic processor reduces visual artifacts seen on modern displays, the reconfigured hardware acceleration aims to recreate the color, composition, lighting, camera angle and sound as originally intended.
TIPS: 2D games look amazing in Vintage Retro Mode on most 4K TVs.
03
Vintage Retro+ Mode uses the same algorithms as Mode 2 (Vintage Retro), with different settings for a more refined gaming experience. It considers various display processing, video game renderings, and game consoles giving you the ability to fine-tune your gameplay as you remember it.
TIPS: 2D and 3D games up to 5th Gen consoles really pop in Vintage Retro Mode+ on most 4K TVs.

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.
