Topaz SDR to HDR
Topaz Labs' SDR to HDR expands standard-dynamic-range footage into 10-bit HDR, delivering H265 HDR10 in an MP4. Resolution and frame rate are kept from the source, at 1080p or 4K. Best as a mastering step on finished footage — it is the priciest of the Topaz video tools by a wide margin.See more
Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or Codex to Layer’s MCP server and Topaz SDR to HDR becomes a tool your agent can reach for — it picks the parameters, runs the generation, and shows you the result in the conversation.

FAQ
How much does Topaz SDR to HDR cost? Is it free?+
How does Layer's pricing work?+
There are no seat fees, feature gates, or plans on Layer. Instead, our platform uses a consumption based system with Creative Units (CUs) with a flexible monthly subscription. Every generation on Layer (image, video, 3D, or audio) consumes a Creative Unit, and you only pay for what you create.
