We’ll just let the images speak for themselves…

There isn’t a huge amount to report regarding the progress of The Pandora Directive remaster other than that Model C is still processing the advanced deinterlacing and subsequent 4K 60Hz upscaling of the source tapes. We believe this model will be the best and final processing pass, but rather than talk about it further, we will let the images speak for themselves…

A series of 8 images showcasing the quality of The Pandora Directive remaster. Each image features temporary composite test backgrounds. From Top left and down: Tex Murphy looking over his shoulder in Mac Malden's office. Chelsee Bando looking at Tex in the news stand. Jackson Cross looking marauding in his office. Regan looking at Tex in the savoy, concerned. A close up of Gordon Fitzpatrick's eyes. Gus Leach staring down at Tex in the Fuchsia Flamingo. Archie sweating and worried inside his bookstore, The Cosmic Connection. Mac Malden in his office, smiling at Tex.

All of the above images are composite tests. This means the backgrounds are temporary and were chosen to test and demonstrate the composite process with the upscaled 4K videos. They were, however, selected to reflect the final environments as closely and accurately as possible, so what you see here is a very close representation of what the final video output should look like in the remaster.

We once again appreciate your patience throughout this time-consuming process. We firmly believe in doing this right and are willing to take our time to do so.
 
 

Below are some “before and after” comparisons…
