At IBC last week, NVidia announced that they expanded their impressive GPUDirect technology to include their video processing systems, possibly reducing most current multi-frame delay systems down to real-time processing.

NVIDIA and our partners are redefining what’s possible in real-time video production,” said Greg Estes, industry executive, Media & Entertainment, NVIDIA. “Enabling lower latency solutions for processing real-time video streams will benefit not just those working in broadcast and production facilities, but also applications in manufacturing, healthcare and government agencies.”

Just like the CUDA counterpart, the result is direct video-to-system memory access without lengthy multistage copies, reducing complexity and code execution times.
