NVIDIA graphics cards come equipped with a huge array of cutting-edge features, all of which have been fine-tuned for gamers, streamers, and content creators. That’s why we created our very own blog series, titled ‘NVIDIA Inside Look’, in which we take a closer look at all this innovative software.
In this blog post, we’re covering NVIDIA Broadcast, detailing what it is, everything that is included, and how NVIDIA Broadcast can help to enhance your live streams.
NVIDIA Broadcast
NVIDIA Broadcast is an integrated plug-in that works with a range of popular live streaming platforms and video conferencing apps. It has been fine-tuned to utilise the Tensor cores on all NVIDIA GPUs to streamline any AI-powered workloads in real-time.
Included with NVIDIA Broadcast are multiple different technologies that have been designed to help take your stream to the next level.
Noise and Echo Removal
No one wants to hear loud keyboard chatter or microphone static whilst they’re trying to relax and watch their favourite streamer. Noise and Echo Removal utilises an AI to eliminate any unnecessary background chatter distracting your audience.
Virtual Background
Background Removal, Replacement, and Blur all allow you to freely customise your background without having to purchase additional expensive streaming equipment.
Auto Frame
You are the star of your live stream and Auto Frame ensures you always remain centre stage. Auto Frame will track your movements in real-time and automatically crop or zoom to keep you in the centre of the frame.
Video Noise Removal
Is your webcam looking dark and low quality? With Video Noise Removal, you can enhance the look and brightness of your footage. The powerful AI removes any visual noise present in low light situations for cleaner, more natural looking footage.
Eye Contact
Currently still in beta, Eye Contact harness an intelligent AI to always make it appear that you are looking directly at the camera, even if you are turned towards the side or looking down.
How Can NVIDIA Broadcast Improve My Live Streaming?
You can utilise NVIDIA Broadcast to boost your live streaming in multiple different ways. The plethora of integrated AI tools can remove any unwanted noise, poor camera quality, backgrounds, and more, to help improve the overall look of your stream. The more professional and attractive your live stream looks, the better experience both you and your audience will have.
It’s not just streamers who can benefit from using NVIDIA Broadcast. Thanks to features such as Eye Contact, meetings are a breeze as you don’t have to worry about looking down to read notes. The powerful AI ensures you are consistently looking directly at the camera meaning your colleagues or clients will always feel like they have your attention. Even if you are secretly glancing at notes in the meantime!
