Topaz Hyperion HDR

Try Topaz Hyperion HDR in the Workbench

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

Model ID: topazlabs-hyperion-hdr-video Topaz Hyperion is an HDR video model that converts SDR footage into HDR with selectable transfer functions (PQ or HLG) and tunable exposure, saturation, and highlight handling. Pair with ProRes output for professional editing workflows; H265 output is also supported. This is the legacy Hyperion (HYP-1) model. For new work, prefer Topaz Hyperion 2, which is actively developed.

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.
