Nvidia has introduced a new tool for broadcasters and professionals to deliver better quality and improved on-air graphics with very low latency. The GPUDirect for Video announced at IBC last week takes allows industry-standard video I/O devices to communicate with the Quadro or Tesla GPUs at ultra-low latency.
The result is that the GPUDirect for Video makes the video reach to the GPU faster for processing, syncing the video I/O card with the GPU and reducing lag by up to 10 frames .
Nvidia says GPUDirect can be beneficial for those who want to import and export video as soon as possible like consumers in the broadcasting industry, medical imaging as well as defense industries.
Nvidia will make the tool available for free to I/O manufacturers, proprietary hardware providers, and video switcher manufacturers whereas Video I/O hardware devs can request the access to the SDK via an email.
Commercial solutions supporting GPUDirect for Video will be available by end of this year.
