Technology company Nvidia is now making Holoscan for Media, an AI-enabled, software-defined platform available in limited production. This platform allows live media and video pipelines to run on the same infrastructure as artificial intelligence (AI), providing enhanced flexibility for companies in the broadcast, sports, and streaming sectors.
The platform enables users to access a variety of applications from a developer ecosystem on Nvidia-accelerated, off-the-shelf hardware. It supports AI captioning, live graphics, vision mixing, and more, allowing broadcasters to streamline production processes while adopting emerging AI technologies.
Built on industry standards such as ST 2110 and NMOS, Holoscan for Media is designed for high-pressure environments. It incorporates essential services like Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for interoperability.
Developers can use Holoscan to simplify delivery and reduce R&D costs. More features are expected in the coming months.
The platform also leverages Red Hat OpenShift, providing a scalable, cloud-native solution.
“Nvidia Holoscan for Media, using the power of Red Hat OpenShift, delivers a scalable, cloud-native platform for next-generation live media applications,” said Gino Grano, global vice president of Americas, telco, media and entertainment at Red Hat, the industry-leading Kubernetes-powered hybrid cloud platform. “With this enterprise-grade open-source solution, cable and broadcast companies can benefit from more seamless deployments and management of media applications, delivering enhanced flexibility and performance across environments.”
