Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “HDR Upscaling Changes Everything”.
Rtx video HDR AI upscaling, oh yeah, right, yeah, yeah yeah, I um uh. I don’t know if we’re going to make a video about it. I I want to, but we have so many projects right now. It’S that post CES boom, yeah um.
It looks super cool, but I haven’t gotten a chance to try it yet, basically, what Nvidia is doing is kind of like what they announced a fairly recent. I guess I was months ago was it a year ago. I don’t know whatever a while ago.
Um kind of like what n announced a while ago, where they are able to upscale in real time, video that you are watching on your system. If you have an Nvidia GPU was pretty power hungry when I first tried it, but it was also really impressive. Like 1080p video looked way better, like they could deblock and D noise um it it, it seemed to be the solution or a solution to low qual low bit rate streaming artifacts, and so this is not the solution, but a solution to the enormous catalog of standard Dynamic range content that exists out there and getting some kind of investment or getting some kind of return out of your investment into an HDR Monitor and an HDR capable system. With that content it looks amazing, Luke you’ve got it up there, uh! No! I was trying to test something all right, you’re doing something else entirely totally off topic, not even focused it wasn’t off topic even focused on show with me. It was not off topic. There are comments.
There are comments about how the HDR video from Nvidia is not an HDR. I’M going to have to beat you especially badly at Super checks. Tonight, good.
You said you want to get home early. Oh I’m still playing Super checks. You just wanted to play Super checks.
Earlier I mean, but I was trying to figure out if your, if your device doesn’t have HDR, can you not select HDR um, I I don’t think you’d be able to if you don’t have an HDR display, how is it going to HDR anything? That’S just not how that works so so when this person said that they uploaded it without HDR, I was like. Are they actually right? I don’t know. I can’t tell though, but it is what it is: okay, so you’re looking at it now: okay, let’s look yeah! Okay, uh, well that that’s a terrible example yeah that original video looks like crap. That could look way better in SDR okay, I mean yeah.
Okay, it’s boosting the highlights a bit dark scenes in SDR can be difficult. Dark scenes in HDR can be difficult to watch. So, let’s see, let’s see, let’s see, let’s see, this is a game too interesting, interesting. I oh. Could it just transform absolutely everything on your screen into HDR wow? Would that have to be banned in certain competitive games? I don’t know that’s pretty cool, though. How does this only have 100,000 views? This is sick. I don’t know okay, I don’t know. Maybe we should do a video about it. I don’t know the best video you’ve ever seen. It’S pretty cool, though SDR.
If you turn this feature on Nvidia won’t, let you enable the HDR setting unless you enable HDR and windows yeah, that that makes sense. Cuz, your monitor would have to be receiving metadata from your operating system, like all Nvidia is doing, is taking that SDR content you’re playing back and interpreting it into HDR metadata that your monitor can understand yeah. So I think the comments are probably right.
I I I don’t think they uploaded this video in HDR, which is hilarious. There’S a lot of comments about it. Um Kingfish watch on YouTube said: showcasing an AI HDR tone. Mapping by converting both SDR and HDR samples to SDR is a truly big brain move. You know what would have worked better actually is if they filmed the screen, believe it or not, that I I forget why it works, but you would be able to see the difference more, even if they uploaded it in SDR. That makes sense it. Like does sort of, I guess but yeah it’s it’s.
It’S still weird, it’s mind breaking math, but no an SDR video of the same camera, filming an SDR screen and an HDR screen does not look the same yeah. You can see that the HDR one is better. Don’T ask me why .
