NVIDIA has announced that Mozilla Firefox browsers now officially support RTX Video "AI Super Resolution" technology.
Mozilla Firefox Users Can Now Enjoy AI Enhanced Video Thanks To Official NVIDIA RTX Video "AI Super Resolution" Technology Support
Press Release: Accessing high-quality video content online – whether through your favorite media player or streaming service – is non-negotiable in today’s digital age. NVIDIA’s RTX Video utilizes AI to automatically enhance video content with a click of a button, seamlessly integrating into the background without any interruption.
Today, Mozilla Firefox – the popular open-source web browser – is the latest partner to incorporate NVIDIA’s AI-powered RTX Video technology. Videos streamed on NVIDIA GeForce RTX-powered PCs and RTX-powered workstations appear sharper and more detailed without requiring a higher-resolution source.
Mozilla Firefox now supports RTX Video Super Resolution and HDR in its latest stable version (v126). It’s never been easier for users to access AI-enhanced upscaling, de-artifacting and HDR effects for online videos.
This week’s AI Decoded explains how it all works, including the two components that make up RTX Video:
- RTX Video Super Resolution upscales low-resolution video for cleaner, crisper imagery. It works by analyzing the lower-resolution video and using deep learning to predict what the higher-resolution version should look like. The algorithm then combines this predicted image with a traditionally upscaled version to eliminate compression artifacts and sharpen the final output.
- RTX Video HDR analyzes SDR video content through AI neural networks to add HDR10 information, improving visibility, details, and vibrancy.
Since 90% of video online is 1080p or lower and SDR, enabling NVIDIA RTX Video is like pushing the “remaster” button on most of the content users watch every day.
Enabling RTX Video is easy:
- Update to the latest GeForce RTX Game Ready Driver, NVIDIA Studio or NVIDIA RTX Enterprise Driver.
- Ensure Windows HDR features are enabled by navigating to System > Display > HDR.
- Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and navigate to Adjust Video Image Settings > RTX Video Enhancement.
- Turn on “Super Resolution” and “High Dynamic Range.”
Firefox joins other Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, in supporting RTX Video. RTX Video Super Resolution is also supported in popular video players like VLC.
