Beamr Imaging, Nvidia team up to accelerate adoption of AV1

Beamr Imaging (BMR) announced that it will present its joint research relating to automated video modernization with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA) at the ACM Mile-High-Video 2024 conference, being held in Denver, Colorado from February 11-14, 2024. Beamr CTO, Tamar Shoham, who will present the research at the conference, explained: “Until today, adopting the upgraded video standard was a complex transition for two reasons – one, the new standard requires significantly more compute power and therefore comes at a very high cost; and two, the new standard requires a steep learning curve as it is difficult to figure out how much added compression can be applied without sacrificing video quality, which results in a lot of uncertainty during the process”.
