Overview
PC Gamers are able to upgrade their graphics card, while console gamers have been limited by locked hardware. Not anymore! The mClassic is here to be the world's first & only plug and play graphics processor for videogame consoles. Yes, you read that right, the mClassic is like having a new “graphics card”, without the hassle of modifying your game console. Plus, it also enhances your movies to a 4K quality experience!

 

 

We all deserve Better Graphics. Better Pixels. Better Gameplay: Get mClassic!

 

Meet the mClassic 

Designed by a team of scientists and engineers in Silicon Valley, plus a founding member of the N.W.A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rap group, to deliver the most advanced video processing technology in a beautiful plug and play device!

In 2017, we introduced the mCable, the world's first smart HDMI cable with our built-in video processor in a cable. The product was launched through grass roots on YouTube and received positive feedback from hundreds of thousands of gamers, industry experts, media, and influencers. This year, we are introducing the mClassic on Indiegogo. We are so excited to be launching the world's first, and only, plug and play graphics processor.

 

 

 

The world's first and only plug and play graphics processor for nearly every platform.

 

 

 

 

A high-performance scaler aims to create high resolution images from low resolution sources that are visually indistinguishable from native high resolution images. Our scaler delivers an exceptional performance from ½ a million pixels to 2 million pixels (SD to HD) and 2 million to 8 million (HD to 4K Cinema) with no compromises on color processing. The result is the cleanest and clearest image for both modern, and legacy content.

 

 

Actual unaltered image, 3X zoom.

The images on your TV, VR or monitor are made of tiny squares called pixels. But real-life objects have rounded edges. This conflict causes images to shimmer or appear “jaggy,” a stair-step looking edge from square pixels trying to create a curve. Our anti-aliasing algorithm delivers amazing results without causing a known blurring effect in graphics, especially on the sharp edges and small texture.

 

Actual unaltered image, 3X zoom.

One technique that many photographers use to add a “wow factor” to their images is to shoot with a shallow depth of field. In doing so they isolate part of the shot which is nicely in focus while throwing elements in the background (and sometimes the foreground) out of focus and into a lovely blur. Our depth of field algorithm takes on the challenge of identifying both foreground and background aspects of the image and determines the relevant zone of interest to create the best possible picture in real time.

 

 

Actual unaltered image, 3X zoom.

Graphics processors typically focus on either the “sharpness” or “naturalness” of an image. The mClassic ensures the image is in perfect balance. Our advanced real-time algorithms deliver a stunningly beautiful picture with color clarity and details exactly as intended by the film maker or game developer.

 

 

 

The mClassic's graphics post-processing analyzes and improves every single pixel on the fly, for a beautiful image with no lag. The average latency tested at 0.2msec!

 

 

 

 

The mClassic graphics processor enhances every pixel on the fly with no lag time. It will up-scale gameplay up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. To get the optimal performance you'll need a third party legacy connection to HDMI converter. Various consoles have devices specifically designed to get HDMI output on retro consoles.

 

 

 

The mClassic graphics processor enhances every pixel on the fly with no lag time. It will up-scale gameplay up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. To get the optimal performance, set-up your Nintendo Switch to output 720p, its native built-in graphic performance, then enable the mClassic, and you will see astonishing results on a 4K or even 1080p TV or monitor.

 

 

 

 

The mClassic graphics processor enhances every pixel on the fly with no lag time. It will up-scale gameplay up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. 4K native content will be passed through the mClassic, while 1080p content will be enhanced when displayed on a 4K or even 1080p TV or monitor.

 

 

 

 

The mClassic graphics processor enhances every pixel on the fly with no lag time. It will up-scale gameplay up to 1440p60 on supported monitors. 4K native content will be passed through the mClassic, while 1080p content will be enhanced when displayed on a 4K or even 1080p TV or monitor. When running a native 1440p compatible game on Xbox One X, we recommend running the game in 1080p and letting the mClassic handle the upscaling for an enhanced 1440p experience.

 

 

 

The mClassic graphics processor acts as a gaming co-processor to your PC Graphics card to potentially address the trade-off between rendering frame rate and resolution.  

 

 

 

The mClassic graphics processor enhances video by taking advantage of our 4K Image Certified Technicolor Technology to up-scale any film content 24fps up to 4K (UHD 3840x2160 and 4096x2160 Cinema Format). To get optimal visual enhancement, setup your console, Blu-Ray Player, or streaming device to output in its native resolution and frame rate of your video content.

Three Modes of Operation

Mode 0:  Scaling Off

The mClassic offers an amazing experience, but in the event you decide to disable the features, there's no need to disconnect it from anything. Setting the mClassic to position zero will allow the original signal to pass right through and be completely unaltered by the mClassic.

Mode 1:  Scaling On 

In the center position, the mClassic's LED will turn green and do its magic, well, its science. With no lag time, mClassic redraws every single pixel on the fly at 120 FPS. It is time for you to experience your games, movies, and entertainment the way they were meant to be seen. 

By default, this is how the mClassic is delivered.

Mode 2:  Retro

Using the Retro toggle position, the LED will turn blue and the mClassic will give you 4:3 output for all retro content while still giving you all the visual benefits of our algorithms. Perfect for capture, quick gameplay, or to get around an issue with a TV that won't adjust the aspect ratio. The mClassic has your classic games covered!

 

Micro-USB cable is to provide power to the mClassic.

HDMI extender is to provide additional cable length, just in case you need it.
