OBS Studio 29.1 Adds Aid for AV1 Encoding

AV1, the future-technology video codec, is increasing its attain with today’s release of OBS Studio 29.1. This most up-to-date program update adds guidance for AV1 streaming to YouTube more than Increased RTMP.

All GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs — together with laptop computer GPUs and the a short while ago launched GeForce RTX 4070 — support genuine-time AV1 components encoding, supplying 40% much more productive encoding on average than H.264 and providing increased excellent than competing GPUs.

This reduces the add bandwidth wanted to stream, a common limitation from streaming providers and online services vendors. At higher resolutions, AV1 encoding is even extra efficient. For case in point, AV1 allows streaming 4K at 60 frames per second with 10 Mbps upload bandwidth — down from 20 Mbps with H.264 — making 4K60 streaming available to a broader viewers.

AV1 — The New Typical

As a founding member of the Alliance for Open Media, NVIDIA has worked closely with business titans in establishing the AV1 codec. This work was necessitated by players and on the internet content creators who pushed the boundaries of previous formats that had been described approximately 20 several years back. The preceding regular for livestreaming, H.264, generally maxed out with 1080p at 60 fps at the usually utilized bitrates of 6-8 Mbps, and frequently created blocky, grainy visuals.

AV1’s amplified performance enables streaming higher-good quality illustrations or photos, enabling creators to stream at better resolutions with smoother frame prices. Even in network-restricted environments, streamers can now experience the benefits of significant-quality video shared with their viewers.

Assistance for AV1 on YouTube comes through the modern update to RTMP. The increased protocol also provides help for HEVC streaming, bringing new formats to buyers on the present lower-latency protocol they use for H.264 streaming. Increased RTMP ingestion has been released as a beta feature on YouTube.

Superior Streams With NVENC, NVIDIA Broadcast

GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs usher in a new era of substantial-high quality streaming with AV1 encoding guidance on the eighth-generation NVENC. A boon to streamers, NVENC offloads compute-intensive encoding tasks from the CPU to devoted hardware on the GPU.

Developed to assistance the rigors of qualified written content creators, NVENC preserves video high-quality with a greater accuracy than competitive encoders. GeForce RTX end users can stream better-high-quality photos at the very same bitrate as competitive items or encode at a decrease bitrate while retaining a very similar picture high quality.
