Hyperion 2 (SDR to HDR)

Advanced SDR to HDR conversion for professional finishing workflows

Model Overview

Hyperion 2 is a next-generation SDR to HDR conversion model designed to expand standard dynamic range footage into richer, higher dynamic range imagery with improved color handling, tonal separation, and detail preservation.

It automatically redistributes luminance and color information across highlights, midtones, and shadows while producing sharper, more detailed results, particularly in text, small faces, and fast motion. Hyperion 2 supports both PQ 12-bit ProRes workflows and 16-bit float EXR output for high-end HDR finishing and VFX pipelines.

Key Capabilities

• Automatically converts SDR footage into HDR without requiring manual adjustment controls.

• Produces brighter, more detailed HDR results with improved clarity in text, faces, and motion.

• Supports 12-bit ProRes output in BT.2020 PQ color space and 16-bit float EXR output in ACES2065-1 color space for professional HDR mastering, grading, and compositing.

• Ideal for converting 8-bit SDR and GenAI video sources into higher bit-depth formats for improved color grading and VFX finishing workflows.
