AI has been instrumental in providing exciting features and improving quality and operational efficiency for conferencing, media delivery and content creation partners.
However, building high-quality, real-time, AI-powered effects that can run on local hardware or in the cloud is difficult and developers will benefit from powerful tools that are both scalable and customizable.
NVIDIA Maxine is a real-time AI platform that’s reinventing the virtual collaboration and video communication experience. At GTC, running April 12-16, people new to AI or those looking to improve their broadcast and video conferencing solutions can get up to speed on Maxine’s capabilities and see examples of it at work.
Maxine offers:
- an end-to-end workflow through pre-trained, state-of-the-art models and sample applications.
- multiple high-quality, real-time features that are GPU accelerated through an optimized deep learning pipeline.
- the ability to run everywhere on NVIDIA GPUs: PC, data center and cloud.
Attend the technical talks below during GTC to learn more about the Maxine platform.
