Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) manufacturer Nvidia has just rolled out a wave of new products. Announced alongside the GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs, the new Nvidia Broadcast App transforms any room into a home studio for live streaming using the power of AI.

Nvidia was founded nearly thirty years ago and has become a mainstay name in providing diversified technologies to industries worldwide. Originally founded with a focus on combining accelerated graphics to computer gaming, Nvidia has since expanded to mobile computing, automotive systems on chips (SoCs), and most recently, Artificial Intelligence. With the world of video games expanding from simply playing to also watching others play, the presence of live streaming has expanded rapidly. Just this year, Twitch has seen an 89-percent increase in the number of streamers, while viewership has gone up over 50-percent. Although Nvidia has focused strongly on streamlined and seamless encoding in previous products, it recognizes that encoding is merely one factor in the live streaming experience and has set out to improve that.

On Nvidia's website, the company explains that while encoding is a huge factor in offloading workload from a CPU to boost frame rates of a given image, live streaming has become so much more. Everything from the audio, the camera quality and the sheer layout of the streamers environment around them is all taken into account. Now with the rolling out of the Broadcast app, Nvidia is helping to transform people's standard webcams and microphones into smart devices using artificial intelligence. This in turn can help transform any average room into a streamer's own quality home studio.

Nvidia Broadcast App Explained

Whether its live streaming, gaming with friends, or having a group video conference, the new Broadcast app can help people look and sound clearer and in focus. The app offers three forms of AI as its key features. First is noise removal - the app removes background noise from your microphone, whether it's a noisy family member in the other room or a teammate in your game that has left their microphone on. Second is the virtual background feature. This offers live streamers privacy and creativity, by allowing them to choose their backdrop. They can choose an image to showcase behind them, stream their live game footage or simply blur their surroundings so viewers can focus on them and not their overflowing laundry basket. The third feature is the auto frame function which uses AI to track a subjects head movement, keeping them centered within the streaming frame, even as they move around.

The noise removal feature is available in all new Nvidia GPUs as well as in older Nvidia tech through an available patch. However, the virtual background and frame function features have been released as a beta to be tested and receive feedback from the tight-knit Nvidia community. Nvidia has a history of listening to its community for feedback to provide the best line of products and performance to its customers. One can bet that the Nvidia Broadcast app will be no different and will only help contribute to the already tremendous amount of new live streamers logging on daily.
