According to the Technavio report, the overall size of the UHD video industry is projected to exceed USD56.99 billion in 2025, with huge prospects for the industry. However, during the transition period of UHD industry upgrade, there will be many obstacles, such as the expensive cost of upgrading both UHD production and broadcasting platform, and also the video quality of existing HD media materials cannot meet UHD broadcasting standards.

In response to the problems faced by the UHD video industry, SmartMore created the SMore Media Enhancement System with intelligent super-resolution based on its long-term technical accumulation. The system is cost-effective and easy to deploy, and one set can help users complete the upconversion of video from SD to HD and HD to UHD in batch, 7*24 hours a day.
