Hello guys. Great news: I’ve just finished the 4K Preview (first 90 seconds of the pilot) in 4K.
The original post at the beginning has been updated accordingly.

Here the link for the Original SD-File from the NTSC-DVD (67,5 MB) so you can compare:

Here the link for the enhanced and upscaled 4K-File (106 MB):

The 1080p-Version preview is still in the works but should be finished soon, I will also post it here and at the beginning of the topic.

Afterwards the work on the full episode will procede. For the full episode please pm me around the next two days, ok?

Well that’s impressive. It really looks like footage from much later in DS9s run now. If it wasn’t for the black bars preventing widescreen you’d think it was a TNG style remaster.

I defiantly can’t wait for the full pilot.

Edit: the 1080 version looks a little funny in the way it’s enhanced the opening text as it’s cut off the first full stop and some of the letters have a shadowed lines after them. The sharpening on the Cube is also a bit odd in places and I think that’s because it’s made up of a lot of lines which may confuse the AI.
I haven’t noticed these effects on the 4K version.

Thanks for your kind words. I’ve noticed what you said on the 1080p as well. Seems to happen when I downscale from 4K to 1080p with Resizing. I had hoped I wouldn’t have to do a second ai run on 1080p, but I think it would be better quality-wise, unfortunately it would take even longer that way. But I will do it. Quality is important to me, just hope you guys can wait.

Again thanks, glad you like it.
