GoPro Partners with Technicolor to Incorporate CineStyle™ into GoPro’s new Protune™ Firmware for HD HERO2 at NAB 2012

Key features of the GoPro Protune mode include:

• 24fps frame rate, enabling GoPro HERO2 content to be easily intercut with other sources without a frame rate conversion;
• 35Mbps data rate for the industry’s highest quality compressed image with virtually zero artifacts;
• Neutral color profile, allowing for greater flexibility in a color correction workflow;
• Log curve encoding, offering more detail in shadows and highlights;

• Reduced sharpening and noise reduction for improved flexibility in professional post- production and color design workflows.
• Seamless Integration with GoPro CineForm Studio

GoPro Protune mode makes integration with GoPro CineForm Studio simple, automatically detecting Protune settings and applying the default adjustments to create stunning images. The workflow is further enhanced by a variety of color tuning presets, or ‘looks’ that further enhance the filmmakers’ story.


Using Protune with GoPro CineForm Studio Premium and GoPro CineForm Studio Professional provides additional benefits, offering extensive color correction controls and customizable presets to create professional, cinematic looks from the GoPro HERO2 captured content. Non-destructive 3D LUTs provide even more flexibility, enabling users to further tweak their images, manipulate saturation and contrast and color correction controls to create highly stylized content.


GoPro Protune mode is available as a free firmware upgrade through the GoPro CineForm Studio software, which is also available as a free download here.

Anyone see this yet? I tried to see where I can find "Protune" and these new features. But have yet to find it, or "upgrade" my GoPro2...

It's not available yet. Posted on GoPro's FB page. They said it'll be out shortly. Can't wait!

Hmm. We'll see how this actually looks, but it sounds promising.
