Description

Instant HD Advanced delivers the highest possible quality conversion for SD to HD. Its advanced tool set offers sharp, motion-compensated de-interlacing and de-noising; advanced pan and scan; and a super-resolution algorithm for providing actual resolution enhancement in an editing application. All these features are combined into one plug-in with an easy-to-use preset menu for choosing the right HD and 2K output formats.

Highlights

• Powerful Motion Analysis - Instant HD Advanced uses sophisticated multi-vector motion analysis to derive accurate and sharp output frames from interlaced material. In addition, motion vectors drive the super-resolution and de-noising tools to maximize quality.

• Resolution Squared - Super-resolution is a technique for deriving and improving resolution from multiple frames of video. This method compares each pixel over successive frames, determining true edges in order to deliver sharper details and super-crisp results. Other scalers, including Instant HD and After Effects' built-in scaler, only process one frame at a time.

• Multi-Core Support - Instant HD Advanced's elaborate image processing would have meant minutes-per-frame render times just a short while ago, but thanks to multi-core optimizations on Intel-based platforms, this tool can render in just over a second per frame on the fastest machines. Now the highest quality conversion is possible on normal desktop machines — no expensive conversion hardware required.

Features

• Integrated De-interlacing - Instant HD Advanced offers sharp, high-quality, artifact-free output of progressive frames from interlaced material.

• Super-resolution - Instant HD Pro's approach yields true resolution improvement, not just scaling.

• De-noising and De-artifacting - Powerful tools smooth out artifacts and make DV-to-HD or VHS-to-HD conversions look their best.

• Quick Setup - Preset output formats and auto-field detection make up-conversion setup a snap.

• Pan and Scan - Advanced pan and scan features make it easy to frame and crop standard SD 4:3 material to fit in 16:9 HD output.

• Seamless Matching - Final-stage re-graining lets you match SD material seamlessly to natively-acquired HD assets.
