NVIDIA Broadcast transforms any room into a home studio, upgrading standard webcams and microphones into premium, smart devices through the power of AI. Improve the video and audio quality of your livestream through AI capabilities such as microphone noise and room echo removal, virtual background, webcam auto frame, and video noise removal. With dedicated AI processors called Tensor Cores on NVIDIA RTX GPUs, the AI networks are able to run high-quality effects in real-time.
NVIDIA Broadcast creates virtual devices on your Windows PC that take your microphone, speaker or webcam output and apply an AI effect to it, enhancing them in different ways. You want to select this virtual device (called NVIDIA Broadcast) in your live streaming or video conferencing apps.
a. Open the NVIDIA Broadcast app.
b. Navigate to each device and select the input device at the top.
c. Select the effect you want to apply.
i. You may combine more than 1 effect if you wish.
ii. We recommend that you only turn on the effects you need to avoid consuming unnecessary GPU resources.
d. If needed, you can adjust the strength or settings of the effect with the sliders under it.
2. Review your Windows Sound Settings:
a. Go to Windows Settings > System > Sound and make sure your headset or speakers are set as the Output device. You don’t want NVIDIA Broadcast Speakers as default, as you would filter out all system sounds.
b. You may select the NVIDIA Broadcast Microphone as input if you wish. This way you don’t need to configure it per app. In this case, make sure you select your actual microphone in the NVIDIA Broadcast app.
3. Configure your live-streaming or video conferencing apps:
a. Open the app that you want to use
b. Go to Settings, then navigate to the Audio and Video sections
c. Select the NVIDIA Broadcast devices:
