Broadcaster integrates NVIDIA Broadcast Engine Audio Effects SDK

In my previous blog post, I mentioned that the XSplit team is exploring the possibilities of the NVIDIA Broadcast Engine and since then, a lot of exciting news has come from NVIDIA, especially with the launch of their new GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs which further solidifies their commitment to the future of RTX.

In that regard, we’ve been working closely with NVIDIA for the past few months and we are pleased to announce that we have integrated the NVIDIA Broadcast Engine Audio Effects SDK which brings AI-based noise removal to XSplit Broadcaster 4.0. This lets our users easily remove any unwanted background noises in their production, giving them the peace of mind that their audience can hear them clearly.

To use the feature, users with NVIDIA RTX GPUs should first download and install the appropriate redistributable for their graphics cards from the NVIDIA Broadcast Engine Resources page as well as the latest XSplit Broadcaster PTR. Afterwards, upon launching XSplit, NVIDIA Noise Removal can easily be enabled by opening Tools > Audio Effects, changing the Noise Suppression Mode to “NVIDIA Noise Removal”, and checking the Noise Suppression box. We will be adding support to change the strength of the noise removal in a later update.


We look forward to bringing more awesome features to our XSplit suite of applications through our continuing partnership with NVIDIA. You can find out more about the NVIDIA Broadcast Engine here.

Exploring NVIDIA RTX Broadcast Engine with XSplit

The NVIDIA RTX Broadcast Engine represents a huge leap forward for content creators using GeForce RTX GPUs, providing them with new avenues to enhance their productions. By utilizing the Tensor Cores on these RTX cards, AI-powered operations are able to run in real-time, streamlining the production output of creatives and enabling them to increase the quality of their content to a level that’s unheard of on consumer-grade hardware.

On our end, we are looking to augment XSplit VCam’s background removal for users with RTX GPUs. We believe that we can improve our app’s performance and efficiency, either by using NVIDIA’s RTX Greenscreen AI model or optimizing our existing model to fully take advantage of Tensor Cores. We are also considering RTX AR and RTX Style Transfer as potential feature updates for XSplit VCam.

In addition, while the RTX Broadcast Engine highlights its strengths through its real-time capabilities, we think that there’s also a big opportunity to use these same features on the XSplit Express Video Editor. Being able to use these on existing videos can serve multiple purposes, from breathing new life into old content to diversifying the creative flow of users by letting them try out different effects during post-production without needing to commit to applying them during the initial recording.

We are excited to start tinkering around with the RTX Broadcast Engine and look forward to more innovation from the NVIDIA team. You can check out NVIDIA’s full press release here.

XSplit Limitations on 32-bit OS

Update: The latest version of XSplit Broadcaster only supports 64-bit operating systems. This means you will not be able to install and use the software if you’re still on 32-bit.

Running XSplit on 64-bit ensures optimal performance so we highly recommend you upgrade so you can fully maximize the capabilities of your hardware.

You can download the latest version of XSplit Broadcaster here.

XSplit Broadcaster only support both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. We highly recommend running our applications on a 64-bit operating system to ensure optimal performance.

When using a 32-bit operating system, the XSplit applications will attempt to utilize a special mode to be able to use more memory. However, this mode is not normally available in 32-bit operating systems which may lead to performance issues with XSplit, especially with more complex and content-heavy presentations.

If you are running a 32-bit operating system but your CPU supports 64-bit instructions, it would be ideal to upgrade to a 64-bit operating system as this will allow you fully maximize the capabilities of your hardware.
