I’m sure our regular readers perfectly remember what NVIDIA RTX Video is, a technology that marked an important turning point and which now It is compatible with Firefox, the well-known Mozilla browser. This is good news as it improves its compatibility and extends support to the three most popular browsers currently in use.

If you’ve just arrived or have a bad memory, don’t worry, we’ll remind you exactly what NVIDIA RTX Video is. It is a technology that uses AI to improve the image quality of any video that we are streaming through a compatible browser.

The difference it can make is very big, especially when we use videos with a resolution of 1080p and lowerand it also drastically improves older videos that are normally 480p and 320p and therefore show enormous pixelation on today’s screens. Curiously, most video content that we can find online are available in 1080p or lower, so this technology offers great value.

NVIDIA RTX Video: improved resolution and HDR support

This NVIDIA technology uses AI and accelerates through tensor kernels, which allows for much more efficient execution and a good level of performance. It is divided into two large solutions that can work together and independently of each other:

• RTX Video Super Resolution, which uses AI and image analysis to improve video resolution starting from lower resolutions, resulting in superior, cleaner and sharper image quality, eliminating graphic errors and taking into account its compression.
• RTX Video HDR, which performs a complete analysis of videos in SDR format and uses artificial intelligence to generate an HDR finish that improves the brightness range of the image and shapes a super image thanks to higher quality lighting and shadows.

Using NVIDIA RTX Video is a case in point how to “remaster” low resolution videos, and also old content that is still very interesting. I could give a lot of examples, but in my case the most interesting videos are those made many years ago with historical content and those dedicated to classic video games.

This technology is supported by Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, as well as Mozilla Firefox and various video players such as VLC. You can find More information in this link.
