# Proteus

### Model Family Overview

Essential video enhancement models designed for quality, precision, and control.

{% hint style="info" %}
Precision models attempt to improve quality without changing the source characteristics.
{% endhint %}

### Key Features

**Built for the widest range of video sources**

* High quality upscaling and enhancement across camera-based footage, CGI, and AI-generated video, with models optimized for both low resolution and high resolution sources.

**Clean, natural enhancement without artifacts**

* Improve resolution, reduce noise, and remove compression artifacts without introducing artificial edges or altering the character of the footage.

**Professional control and format support**

* Advanced parameters and dedicated handling for interlaced, telecine, and progressive sources support modern and legacy workflows.

**High resolution results with local and cloud workflows**

* Scale content up to 8K and beyond using efficient processing on local workstations or cloud-based infrastructure.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.topazlabs.com/video-models/proteus.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
