Topaz Labs

Topaz Labs is a US AI video-enhancement software company. Its Starlight Precise 2.5 model was used by France Televisions for video remastering in the RG Lab AI production stack at Roland-Garros 2026, disclosed on 11 June 2026. Topaz Labs builds AI tools primarily for video and image processing: upscaling, noise reduction, deinterlacing, and enhancement of archival or lower-resolution footage. Starlight Precise is its model for low-light and fine-detail video enhancement, targeting the remastering and broadcast-quality standardisation use case.

Topaz Labs' software is primarily sold to professional post-production users, videographers, and archivists as desktop software and has broader adoption than the other RG Lab vendors due to the maturity of its core upscaling product (Topaz Video AI). France Televisions' deployment at Roland-Garros represents an application of the technology in a live-production context rather than the traditional post-production environment, though video remastering in a broadcast setting can be applied to replays and archival content displayed during live coverage.

In the broader media-AI vendor landscape, Topaz Labs occupies the video-quality enhancement segment, distinct from generative-video companies (Runway, Sora) and real-time transformation companies (Decart). Its tools process existing footage rather than generating new visual content, placing it in the enhancement rather than generation category of AI video tooling.
