Nvidia has announced the launch of a new feature called RTX Video HDR for all owners of RTX graphics processors.
The RTX Video HDR uses artificial intelligence to convert video from the standard dynamic range (SDR) used in web browsers to high dynamic range (HDR) video on HDR10-compatible screens, enabling HDR in the Windows operating system.
RTX Video HDR relies on the same method as Nvidia’s RTX Video Supersolution to enhance the quality of old unclear videos on the web.
This feature is part of the game-ready driver program version 551.23, and works across Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers.
This feature adds accurate color details to 4K YouTube videos without having to upload them as HDR videos.
The results of RTX Video HDR are similar to the results of enhancing high-definition videos with RTX Video Supersolution in upgrading and improving old videos on YouTube.
If you have an HDR-compatible screen and an RTX graphics processing unit, you can download the game-ready driver version 551.23 from Nvidia and go to the Nvidia control panel to enable RTX Video HDR.
The feature is available in the video image settings on the Nvidia control panel, in the same location as the RTX Video Supersolution technology options.
Similar to many Nvidia features powered by artificial intelligence, RTX Video HDR requires an RTX-class graphics processing unit. It leverages Tensor Cores that Nvidia first shipped in RTX 20-series graphics processing units.
Nvidia also relies on artificial intelligence technologies in the DLSS system to improve frame rates and image quality in video games.
In 2022, Nvidia launched the DLDSR system with the aim of enhancing image quality by delivering games in high resolution.
The Nvidia Broadcast application also includes the Eye Contact optical connection feature, which relies on artificial intelligence technology to achieve a sense of visual communication during video calls.
The Game Ready driver version 551.23 from Nvidia also offers support for Ultra Low Latency mode with games running on DirectX 12.
You can activate this feature in games that do not support Nvidia Reflex feature instead of managing the waiting list from the game’s side, reducing waiting time directly at the driver level.
