Hyperion 2.5 (SDR to HDR) — New!

Our highest-quality SDR-to-HDR conversion model, delivering improved fidelity, clarity, and dynamic range. Convert 8-bit GenAI video to professional 10-bit and 16-bit formats.

Model Overview

Hyperion 2.5 is our newest SDR-to-HDR conversion model, designed to produce richer HDR results with improved color handling, tonal separation, highlight detail, and overall clarity.

It automatically redistributes luminance and color information across highlights, midtones, and shadows while preserving fine detail, with noticeable improvements in text, small faces, and fast motion. Hyperion 2.5 also expands the available color and luminance range, including a wider nit range, providing greater flexibility for VFX compositing, color grading, and playback on modern HDR displays.

Hyperion 2.5 is particularly well suited for converting 8-bit GenAI video into professional-quality 10-bit ProRes or 16-bit EXR formats for HDR finishing and VFX pipelines. It also supports 10-bit 4K HDR source footage, allowing even 10-bit GenAI outputs to be converted to 16-bit EXR for higher-precision compositing, grading, and finishing workflows.

Key Capabilities

• Produces brighter, more detailed HDR results with improved clarity and tonal separation.
• Expands color and luminance range for greater flexibility in VFX compositing, HDR grading, and modern HDR display workflows.
• Automatically converts SDR footage to HDR without requiring manual adjustment controls.
• Supports professional 4K HDR output in 10-bit ProRes BT.2020 PQ and 16-bit half-float EXR ACES2065-1 formats.
• Supports both 8-bit SDR and 10-bit HDR sources, with conversion to higher-precision formats for grading, mastering, compositing, and VFX finishing.
