Topaz Hyperion 2.5

Try Topaz Hyperion 2.5 in the Workbench

Run this model interactively, tune parameters, and compare outputs.

Model ID: topazlabs-hyperion-2-5-video Topaz Hyperion 2.5 converts 8-bit AI video into true HDR: an SDR-to-HDR model that redistributes luminance and color across highlights, midtones, and shadows while preserving fine detail, with no tuning parameters to set. AI footage can finally sit alongside live action in professional and VFX pipelines. It handles AI-generated footage as well as camera source, taking 8-bit input up to professional deliverables. Output is HDR in the BT.2020 color space with a PQ (SMPTE-2084) transfer function, delivered as 10-bit H.265, 10-bit ProRes, or 16-bit lossless FFV1 for mastering, grading, and VFX workflows.

Example request

Use the Workbench as a request builder: configure parameters for this model in the UI, then open the API tab to copy the exact cURL or Python call.

Sync
Async
Async with SSE

This blocks until the video is ready (typically 5-15 minutes). Prefer Async or Async with SSE for anything beyond quick experimentation.See the video generation reference for more details.

Request parameters

Required parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`input_video`	`string`	—	SDR video file to convert to HDR (URL or file path). Format: uri.

Optional parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`output_encoder`	`string`	`"H265"`	Encoder for the rendered HDR output. H.265 (10-bit) for compact delivery, ProRes (10-bit) for pro editing and grading, FFV1 (16-bit lossless, MKV) for maximum-fidelity mastering and VFX interchange. One of: H265, ProRes, FFV1.
`output_profile`	`string`	`"422 HQ"`	ProRes quality profile. All 422 profiles are 10-bit; HQ preserves the most detail. One of: 422 Proxy, 422 LT, 422 Std, 422 HQ.
