Topaz Proteus

VIDEOFeaturedtopaz-proteus-upscale-video

Proteus is Topaz Labs’ precision video upscaler, enlarging footage up to 4x at 1080p or 4K while staying faithful to the source. Tune noise, halo, compression and grain, and optionally interpolate to a higher frame rate. Best for live action and game capture that must not be reimagined.

workspace_id
required
Workspace Id

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

string format: uuid

Id of the workspace that owns the resource.

session_name
Session Name

Organize this run under a named session. A new session is created if none matches.

string
nullable

Organize this run under a named session. A new session is created if none matches.

Idempotency-Key
string
<= 255 characters

Opaque key making a retry of this request return the first result. A 2xx response is replayed for 24 hours with Idempotent-Replayed: true. A 4xx releases the key. A 5xx, or a request still running, holds the key for 120 seconds, during which a retry gets 409; after that a retry executes again. The key covers the method, path, query, and byte-identical body it was first used with; reusing it for a different request is rejected with 422. Protection is best effort: if the key store is unavailable, or a record is lost early, a retry can execute again even after an earlier 409. See the Idempotency section of the API description.

InferenceFormFileRef

A single guidance/reference file supplied to a reference_image_list field.

The slot’s guidance type is fixed by the field it’s attached to; the caller supplies the file (its URL, or the id of a file it can read) and, where the model supports per-file weighting, a weight.
