This Test Item can also be carried out as a Golden Eye's check.

Subjective factors (edge steepness, noisyness, texturedness) may influence perceived sharpness of upscaled frames with a certain signal/content resolution.
The focus may not be identical over the entire frame, e.g. image areas with relevant image content are best focused, other areas like the background can be out of focus.
In this case best focused image areas are relevant for sharpness determination by humans or machines.

The implementation of video upscaling detection is vendor specific. This applies to the detection algorithms deployed and the thresholds triggering reporting.
