With the advent of live streaming, video quality has become the primary factor. Not surprisingly, fans are glued to a dedicated gaming streaming service like Twitch. The upsurging population of streamers is also contributing to the rise of video-enhancing quality, performance-boosting tools, and devices.
Twitch has hosted several regional and international events focused on the popular live-streaming platform. We were introduced to some of the newest products designed to elevate creators’ video skills by providing more video effects and accelerating the production process. A closed beta version of TEB (Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting) was among the most interesting presentations. It will allow the use of HEVC technology when working with the NVIDIA encoder.
In addition to the features available in Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting, streamers are presented with the NVIDIA Broadcast application, the AB NVENC, and RTX technologies, which allow the stream theme to have a quality streaming quality level. Furthermore, with the NVIDIA Studio Driver launched in September, creators can now fine-tune their creative applications for maximum efficiency with shortened processes.
This article will examine the functionality of these technology tools as well as their impact on live streaming and streaming activities in general, especially for streamers and content producers in 2024 and the years to come.
What is Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting? This is also known as TEB with HEVC.
The need to provide acceptable-quality video and audio has strained most live-streaming applications and services. Some viewers have poor internet connections or use older devices, which will likely buff or lag when watching a high-definition video. On the other hand, if the video bitrate is reduced, which can heat up the load, having less buffing will inevitably deteriorate the video quality and create more artifacts in the image, thus tattering the overall experience.
