The unique combination of server-side and NVIDIA GPU technologies can drastically improve the video conferencing experience for every meeting participant

April 12, 2021 -- Pexip, a leading provider of enterprise video conferencing and collaboration solutions, today announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to explore how advanced technologies such as conversational AI and deep learning can create a more immersive and engaging video meeting experience for everyone, regardless of device.

The GPU-accelerated NVIDIA Maxine SDK enables capabilities such as super resolution, artifact reduction, face tracking, body pose estimation, and noise removal. Pexip’s flexible, secure digital infrastructure brings these features to life at the server level, so every meeting participant has the same great experience. Together, Pexip and NVIDIA technologies can take virtual meetings to the next level with advanced features for the modern workforce.“

Combining NVIDIA’s advanced AI computing features with Pexip’s unique architecture will allow us to reimagine virtual meetings for richer, more human interactions,” said Giles Chamberlin, CTO and co-founder, Pexip. “Pexip transcodes live media in real time during meetings to give each and every participant the best possible audio and video experience on whichever device they’re using. We look forward to exploring the further extension and application of our server-side transcoding technology with NVIDIA Maxine.”

Pexip and NVIDIA are also working on adding innovative noise cancellation technologies for Pexip users. Audio quality is even more important than video quality in virtual meetings and this early work shows how removing background noise can make meeting experiences more powerful. With an increasing number of people in remote and hybrid work environments prone to distractions, it is important to optimize the virtual experience and bring the focus back to the meeting.
