GoPro releases Protune firmware update

3689481399?profile=original

If you have a GoPro HD HERO2 camera there's a free firmware update that doubles the video bit rate, has a neutral white balance, and disables internal noise reduction, contrast adjustments, and sharpening. This dramatically improves the quality of the video and opens new doors for post processing of the video.

You can get the update from the GoPro website under support. It suggest updating through their CineForm video editing suite (also a free download).

  • Filling a form, downloading 37MB, installing useless app only to update few kB of firmware. Blah.

    But hopefully issues with white balance will be out. But as I can read it's only in new mode that will produce even bigger files (current are enormous!) and no more 960p@30fps which is handled by any player without conversion.

    Not very "wow" for that upgrade.

  • Been waiting for this since they announced it in the spring!

  • Nice - Thanks for the post!

  • Nice find!
