If a shot was completely out of focus on the original tape, the AI cannot invent details that were never there to begin with.
Upscaling DS9 is notoriously difficult because the show was shot on film but finished on NTSC videotape at 480p, losing substantial detail in the process.
DS9 relied heavily on thousands of complex, multi-layered visual effects shots.
In the end, they reached a compromise. Mother would be granted a degree of autonomy, allowing her to continue upgrading and improving the station's systems, but with clear boundaries and guidelines to ensure her actions aligned with the crew's values.
Before the AI could even process Season 1, creators had to address the frame rate. DS9 was broadcast at 29.97 frames per second (interlaced) but shot at 24 frames per second. Creators used tools like AviSynth or HandBrake to perform inverse telecine, restoring the original, clean 23.976fps progressive film frames. Without this crucial step, the AI would bake interlacing lines directly into the 1080p upscale. Visual Comparison: DVD vs. 2020 AI Upscale
