What’s New In AI for Media?
Easy-to-use microservices and SDKs designed for secure, reliable, high-performance deployment across clouds, data centers, RTX workstations, and RTX PCs:
AI for Media Features
RTX Video Frame Generation
RTX Video Frame Generation interpolates frames between successive frames without understanding the broader video context, making it a powerful tool for increasing frame rate rather than altering content. For AI-generated video, it can convert a 15 fps clip into a smoother 30 fps or 60 fps result, or enable high-quality slow-motion workflows by turning 30 fps video into 120 fps playback.
Synthetic Video Detector
Synthetic Video Detector predicts the percentage probability that a video was AI‑generated video with high accuracy on uncompressed and compressed content, producing results in real time on NVIDIA GPUs. It is intentionally biased toward false positives over false negatives to prioritize safety.
LipSync
The LipSync SMPTE ST 2110 NIM synchronizes lip movements with speech in live, IP‑based broadcast video pipelines. It is designed for real‑time dubbing workflows in NVIDIA Holoscan for Media environments. LipSync now supports French, German, and Spanish languages.
Active Speaker Detection
Active Speaker Detection (ASD) SMPTE ST 2110 brings multi‑speaker detection and identification to live broadcast workflows over IP video. It enables real‑time speaker tagging within NVIDIA Holoscan for Media. ASD now supports multi-camera and multi-microphone input.
Background Noise Removal
Background Noise Removal removes a wide range of ambient noises from audio recordings while preserving expressive speech qualities.
Studio Voice NIM
Studio Voice SMPTE ST 2110 brings studio‑quality speech enhancement to live broadcast audio pipelines. It supports professional IP‑based media workflows using standard input equipment.
Video Relighting
Relighting uses AI‑generated HDRI to re‑illuminate a person in live or recorded video to match target lighting conditions while preserving realism, texture quality, and camera look. It integrates a moving subject naturally into complex environments and is delivered as an NVIDIA AI for Media NIM.
RTX Video Super Resolution
RTX Video Super Resolution upscales 16:9 video from 480p to as high as 8K using AI, with user controls for sharpness, blur, denoising, and hallucination limits. The model can be fine‑tuned to source content and runs within NVIDIA AI for Media. Also available as a Python Wheel.
3D Body Pose
3D Body Pose is a single‑camera, marker‑less, and rig‑free motion capture NIM that outputs full‑body 3D animations using skeletal tracking. It enables realistic body motion capture without specialized hardware.
Content Localization Blueprint
Active Speaker Detection (ASD) SMPTE ST 2110 brings multi‑speaker detection and identification to live broadcast workflows over IP video. It enables real‑time speaker tagging within NVIDIA Holoscan for Media. ASD now supports multi-camera and multi-microphone input.
AI for Media SDKs
Audio Effects
The Audio Effects SDK enables real-time broadcast audio enhancements, including noise and room echo removal, audio super-resolution, and acoustic echo cancellation, improving speech clarity and overall sound quality in various recording environments.
Video Effects
The Video Effects SDK uses GPU-powered Tensor Cores to accelerate video processing, offering filters like AI Green Screen, Background Blur, Super Resolution, Upscale, Webcam Denoising, and Video Relighting for enhanced real-time video effects and quality improvements.
Augmented Reality
The Augmented Reality SDK enables real-time face and body tracking, landmark detection, eye contact adjustment, facial expression estimation, and LipSync, powered by NVIDIA GPUs for accelerated performance, supporting diverse AR, animation, and modeling applications.
