Nvidia is bringing RTX Video HDR to VLC media player, the company announced at Computex 2024 on Sunday. This feature – first announced in January for all RTX GPU owners – uses artificial intelligence (AI) to upscale SDR video to HDR. Nvidia says that the only prerequisite for use is an HDR-compatible monitor and HDR functionality enabled in Windows. In addition, RTX Video HDR will also be featured on video editing software such as DaVinci Resolve and Wondershare’s Filmora.
In a blog post, Nvidia announced that in addition to the existing super-resolution capabilities of VLC media player, it will soon get RTX Video HDR. The American chipmaker first announced this feature at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024. It uses AI to automatically upscale SDR content to HDR.
According to Nvidia, users of RTX and GeForce RTX GPUs can use this feature to “maximize their HDR panel’s ability to display more vivid, dynamic colors.” The company further claims that it can preserve details that may not be visible when videos are played back in standard dynamic range.
Nvidia RTX Video HDR can work in tandem with RTX Video Super Resolution to output the “clearest streaming video,” according to the company.
Along with VLC media player, Nvidia says that RTX Video HDR is also available as an SDK to developers that will allow them to natively integrate it into apps. Furthermore, it will also bring the feature to video editing software such as Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve and Wondershare Filmora, allowing editors to “upscale lower quality video files to 4K resolution, as well as convert standard dynamic range source files to HDR”.
Presented G-Assist project
Nvidia also introduced a new project called G-Assist – a GeForce AI assistant that improves the gaming experience by providing recommendations and assistance during gameplay.
The company says its AI assistant accepts text or voice prompts, while selecting contextual information from the game screen. It then runs the data through AI vision models that improve contextual awareness. It delivers answers in the form of text or voice.
According to Nvidia, Project G-Assist is context-aware, meaning it can provide tailored responses to a specific game session.
