What is Video Effects Server?

Microservice offers the following GPU-accelerated AI-based video effects:

  • Eye Contact (Gaze redirection)
    • This feature redirects gaze to look at the camera within a certain range of gaze angles and head poses.
  • Virtual background (AI Green screen)
    • The Virtual background filter segments a video or still image into foreground and background regions.
      • The Background Blur filter uses the segmentation mask and an input image to produce a blur effect in the background region of the input image.
      • The Background Composite effect uses the segmentation mask and a background image to replace the background in input image In a typical Video Effects Microservice deployment, a service provider configures and launches the Video Effects Microservice on a GPU-based server. A client application (remote or local) connects to the microservice, negotiates the desired video effects and connection parameters via gRPC, and starts streaming video to the microservice (via RTP/UDP, gRPC/TCP or another protocol) and receives the processed video back.

Prerequisites

NVIDIA Video Effects microservice supports the Linux x86_64 architecture.

Before you can use Video Effects microservice, ensure that you meet following prerequisites:

  • Ensure you can access and are logged in to NVIDIA NGC. For step-by-step instructions, refer to the NGC Getting Started Guide.
  • Verify that you can access to a machine with GPU of any of below architectures:
    • sm_70 (e.g. V100)
    • sm_75 (e.g. T4)
    • sm_80 (e.g. A100)
    • sm_86 (e.g. A10, A40)
    • sm_89 (e.g. L4, L40)
  • Install Docker with support for NVIDIA GPUs.
