Remastering Star Trek: Deep Space Nine with Machine Learning
ST:DS9 was originally shot on film like ST:TNG, but the market performance of the TNG remaster makes it very unlikely that DS9 will receive the same treatment.<p><i>"Essentially, for the HD release of </i>Star Trek<i>, all people had to do was scan each episode. For </i>The Next Generation<i>, they would have to scan all those original pieces of film and then edit together each episode again, themselves. It’s more difficult, more expensive, and much more time-consuming.</i><p><i>"Unfortunately, it wasn’t actually worth it. Sales of the extravagant</i> TNG <i>remaster—original retail price $118 for just season one—failed to reach CBS and Paramount’s expectations. A similar process would have to be done for both</i> DS9 <i>and</i> Voyager<i>—and would actually be even harder."</i><p><a href="https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-detailed-depressing-reason-deep-space-nine-and-voy-1791962332" rel="nofollow">https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-detailed-depressing-reason-deep-...</a>
