Description:
NVIDIA launches new Twitch Enhanced Streaming feature that uses AI to improve 
the amount of transcodes that streams have.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Twitch, the streaming Internet video service popular with gamers, already 
does some impressive server side transcoding to make sure that its most 
popular channels have multiple streams of different quality available. That 
means that people with different bandwidth levels can benefit accordingly. 
But if youre not one of its top performers then you just get a single stream. 

Now, thanks to a new feature called Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting, owners of a 
modern GeForce RTX or GTX GPUs will be able to broadcast up to three 
resolutions, at up to 1080p, simultaneously. Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting, 
which launches in Beta this month supports HEVC (H.265) encoding, NVIDIAs 
latest encoder that gives 25% efficiency and quality over H.264. Background 
noise removal 

If youre a Twitch streamer then you can sign up for the Twitch Enhanced 
Broadcasting beta today at twitch.tv/broadcast . Theres more coming too, in 
the coming months Enhanced Broadcasting beta testers will be able to 
experiment with higher-input bit rates, up to 4K resolutions, up to 5 
concurrent streams, as well as new codecs. 


There are also some AI Audio enhancements from NVIDIA, and while they 
obviously appeal to streamers, you dont need to be a Twitch streamer to take 
advantage of AI enhancement if you own an NVIDIA RTX GPU. Download the NVIDIA 
Broadcast app and you can start to use AI straight away to enhance your live 
streams, video chat, and voice calls. You can use the Broadcast app to apply 
AI effects like Noise Removal, which will remove distracting background noise 
while you video chat, and theres a handy room echo removal feature, too. You
