The remastering process employs cutting-edge AI technology to transform the original content from the 1970s into a vibrant and high-quality Full-HD experience.
Munich - Studio 100 International, a
leader in children's and family entertainment, is breathing new life into its
iconic classic series. To meet growing demand and celebrate these beloved
titles the company has embarked on a remastering project making these heritage
series available in Full-HD and 16:9 widescreen format for the very first time.
Iconic IPs such as Sindbad, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, Anne of Green
Gables, Nils Holgersson, Marco, Vic the Viking, Maya the Bee, and Heidi will
soon captivate not only a new generation of young viewers but also evoke
nostalgia among adults who grew up with these timeless classics. This
initiative is part of Studio 100 International’s broader licensing campaign,
Heroes of Childhood, which unites these treasured properties under one brand,
celebrating their enduring appeal across generations.
Studio 100 International will present this project and
first remastered episodes at this year’s MIPCOM in Cannes, Booth R7.K17.
The remastering process employs cutting-edge AI
technology to transform the original content from the 1970s into a vibrant and
high-quality Full-HD experience. After a thorough analysis of the source
material, specific optimizations are identified and addressed. AI-assisted
upscaling is then applied rendering oversized frames to generate additional
visual information necessary for the adaptation to 16:9 format.
Once upscaled the material undergoes manual refinement
with each scene meticulously reviewed and adjusted to ensure the integrity of
the original content while achieving the optimal widescreen display in native
1920x1080 resolution. Audio tracks are also carefully reconstructed allowing
for the integration of various language versions. To finalize the process
localized versions of the titles and credits are produced ensuring the
remastered series are ready for global distribution.
