The product is available to customers of Beamr’s partners and aims to enhance low-resolution content to live 4K (ultra-high definition).
The demonstration integrates Nvidia Holoscan for Media, a real-time AI platform for live media.
Sharon Carmel, CEO of Beamr, said: “Broadcasters and streamers have long faced the dilemma of balancing premium quality with cost efficiency for live events. Our demonstration with Nvidia Holoscan for Media, leveraging Nvidia's RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Workstation, showcases how this challenge can be solved. The optimised, CDN-friendly and low latency 4K live broadcasting can transform live broadcasting for our partners’ customers and enhance the user experience of their viewers.”
