New graphic card era

cata12

Asus and Nvidia launched the new EN9800GT. It's the latest news from the graphic cards sector. Soon it will be possible to use a PC graphic processor to perform other tasks. The graphics-processing unit (GPU) that normally handles only visual effects is taking over duties from the CPU. Usually CPU’s have a single processing core. But graphics chips have dozens of cores that are ideal for parallel processing – breaking complex tasks into smaller chunks which are processed simultaneously.
Image and video-editing applications are the first to take advantage of the GPU. The image quality will be HD compliable. I think the biggest advantage of H.264 over previous standards is its compression performance. Compared with standards such as MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, H.264 can deliver better image quality at the same compressed bitrate or a lower compressed bitrate for the same image quality.
I have already made HD Live streaming and I can show you some demos if you are interested.

From what source are you streaming HD?

I am using as a video source a Vixia HF10 camcorder if this is what you reffer to.
As a broadcasting software I am using BlinkoTV com which alllows me to do HD streaming. It offers lots of options like setting up the bitrate, fps, and video size.
Are you doing something similar ?

To cata12,

I am more interested in your statement about the graphic chip on the new video cards taking over some of the CPU functions.

As it is, most of the less than five year old PC's already have dual core
or greater cpu's, but that also depends on the running software ability to take advantage of multicore cpu capacity.

And if this type video card can help the cpu if its not totally tied up running just video tasks, it should show much greater benchmark scores compared to conventional video cards.

Hello , by using that card you will get better video streaming and you will avoid getting buffering on the webplayer if you are broadcasting for example. Please let me know if you are still interested and I can show you some demos.

Hello if you reffer to the video source, I am using a Canon Vixia HF 10 camera model to stream live on a website. Also I have a broadcasting software which allows me to do HD streaming. Combined with the video camera I get 15-20 % better video quality.

Cata,

So the streaming software actually improves the video cameras quality? Can you show an example of this?

cata12

The software allows you to stream HD if you have a video camera HD compliable. If you have only the HD camera and a software that is not developed for HD you will not get this quality. So its the solution for basicly getting the best video quality (15-20% more than SD).
