About Alchemist X

Alchemist X is a cloud-native video frame rate conversion platform developed by Grass Valley for professional broadcasting, live production, and global media distribution. The software uses eighth-generation motion-compensated processing technology to convert video between different broadcast standards while preserving image quality and smooth motion. It supports standard definition, HD, 1080p, and UHD 2160p formats, along with HDR and SDR conversion using HLG, PQ, and custom lookup tables. Its real-time processing capabilities enable broadcasters to convert live video feeds for simultaneous distribution across international markets and streaming platforms. Alchemist X also provides color space conversion, video enhancement, closed caption handling, and 16-channel audio processing with configurable gain, delay, and channel mapping.

Topaz Video AI
Unlimited access to the world’s leading production-grade neural networks for video upscaling, deinterlacing, motion interpolation, and shake stabilization - all optimized for your local workstation. Topaz Video AI focuses solely on completing a few video enhancement tasks really well: deinterlacing, upscaling, and motion interpolation. We've taken five years to craft AI models robust enough for natural results on real-world footage. ‍ Topaz Video AI will also take full advantage of your modern workstation, as we partner directly with hardware manufacturers to optimize processing times. (Many of them already use Topaz Video AI to benchmark AI inference.) Own the software and use it for as many projects as you like, right in your existing workflow. Other video upscaling techniques often create a “shimmering” or “flickering” effect from different processing in adjacent frames. Topaz Video AI significantly reduces these artifacts.

FLUX Upscale
FLUX Upscale
FLUX Upscale is a video upscaling tool designed to regenerate lower-resolution footage at higher resolutions, up to native 4K, for delivery formats such as broadcast, campaigns, and large screens. It accepts video from 480p and above and is built to preserve quality as resolution increases, addressing problems that local or general-purpose upscalers can introduce at higher output sizes. The tool understands FLUX 3 video output natively and can repair common generated-video imperfections, including smudged faces and grid-like artifacts in detailed textures such as water and grass. Users can choose between two processing modes depending on the job. Precise uses fewer steps for faster processing and is the better option when identity or reference details need to remain consistent. Creative uses additional steps to push repair and detail generation further, but it may alter or replace identity and therefore offers lower reference consistency.

    "FPS broadcast high quality converter. Yes it can upscale."

    Posted 2024-01-22

    Pros: Quality conversion from European videos to North American broadcast formats without speeding or slowing the source. Keeps the included closed captions in sync. You can also do the reverse. Change of speed is applied also to the sound (25 to 23,976, 24 to 25fps...), absolutely great. It can also upscale your content, but no AI to improve the picture. It is not the strength of this software. But for regular broadcast works, it keeps the quality of the picture when your source is film content. Also very good results when video sources (interlaced) are used.

    Cons: It takes some times to find the correct parameters. Render process is quite slow (90 minutes movie may take 4 to 5 hours, depending on your hardware). Created for broadcast users. Pricey.

    Overall: Amazing product, allowed us to offer the best picture quality without added aliasing or frame recombination when broadcasting European sources in our North American broadcasts. Used in conjunction with Kronos, it is a wonderful tool to also keep the sync of your closed captioned material and all your audio tracks.
