Topaz Proteus - Versatile Video Upscaler

Try Topaz Proteus - Versatile Video Upscaler in the Workbench

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

Model ID: topazlabs-proteus-video Topaz Proteus is a general-purpose video upscale and enhancement model built for the widest range of sources, including camera footage, CGI, and AI-generated video. Use Proteus when you want fine-grained control over enhancement parameters such as compression, detail, noise, blur, halo, and grain.

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`	—	Video file to upscale (URL or file path). Format: uri.

Optional parameters

Field	Type	Default	Description
`resolution`	`string`	`"1080p"`	Target output resolution. One of: 720p, 1080p, 2k, 4k.
`blur`	`number`	`0`	Anti-blur / sharpening. Higher values produce a sharper result. Range: -1 – 1.
`compression`	`number`	`0`	Reduces compression artifacts. Higher values remove more artifacts. Range: -1 – 1.
`details`	`number`	`0`	Detail enhancement. Higher values boost fine detail. Range: -1 – 1.
`grain`	`number`	`0.05`	Film grain intensity. Range: 0 – 0.1.
`grain_type`	`string`	—	Film grain style. One of: silver_rich, gaussian, grey.
`halo`	`number`	`0`	Halo and ringing reduction. Higher values suppress halos more strongly. Range: -1 – 1.
`noise`	`number`	`0`	Noise handling. Negative reduces noise, positive adds grain-like noise. Range: -1 – 1.
`target_fps`	`integer`	`24`	Target frame rate (fps), up to 60. Range: 1 – 60.
