![]() ![]() Readers of the blog know that I love NDI Tools. There are even a few partners that are releasing their features over the next few weeks that I’m already excited about. The Broadcast Engine takes all these available features and provides them inside of an SDK framework so that other applications can build these features in natively! This is going to change a lot of workflows across so many industries. More important than their standalone Broadcast App, although it’s very cool, is the Broadcast Engine. Like I mentioned previously all of this is running in real-time on the GPU and honestly looks and sounds fantastic. Auto-framing (using face tracking) to automatically crop and zoom in on you during the calls (maybe more useful for streamers than normal people, but still interesting!).Background removal without the need of a green screen, as well as background replacement (like the feature on Zoom calls).Removal of keyboard keys, background noises, air conditioners, fan noises and other non-vocal noises. ![]() It runs on your desktop and can incorporate: The nVidia Broadcast App was officially announced early this month and is a standalone desktop app that packages together all the features we’ve been teased for months now.

What makes these special is that they can have incredibly high quality results while being fully accelerated by the GPU (as you’ll see shortly). You may have heard of automagic green screen features or audio noise suppression setups that are running on the GPU. There have been a lot of cool features trickling out of nVidia that require the RTX series of cards, and more specifically the RT cores that accelerate AI and machine learning workflows. nVidia has thrown a wrench into my plans! The new features in the nVidia RTX series of graphics cards are genuinely exciting and are making me consider upgrading my GPU, here’s why. I often harp on about how CPU architecture is relatively unchanged over the years in terms of raw performance and how GPU’s, while getting progressively faster, are generally unchanged in terms of features. ![]() You’ve all heard me over the years talking about saving money and trying to make hardware last as long as possible. ![]()
