Chroma keying is used to remove the background of a video scene which is then composited over another scene or image. The use of chroma keying has become quite popular in recent years, with many applications of this video effect used for live streaming. If you’re a fledgling live streamer, we recommend checking out TechRadar's own NVIDIA Broadcast guide to help you get started with the software.Update April 2020: We’ve created a guide on how to use OBS as a virtual webcam, learn how to here. Currently, it's unknown if they want to add more support.

However, it’s up to the OBS developers whether or not they want to fully integrate all of Broadcast's features. We reached out to NVIDIA for information as to why these features were omitted.Ī representative told us NVIDIA gave access to all of Broadcast’s features to the OBS developers, plus the resources and support to help integrate the tools. Video Noise Removal, which enhances webcam quality, and Auto Frame, a feature that allows your camera to follow you while streaming, are not in the new OBS. Going back to NVIDIA Broadcast, you may notice it has some features not found in OBS 28.0. But with new advancements in tech such as the prevalence of HDR displays, the developers saw it was a good time to add the support. Videos would have washed out colors if recorded at different bits, apparently. NVIDIA states in the past users had to turn off the HDR feature on their computers because it would mess with the OBS recording. The HDR support allows users to record and stream in the standard allowing for brighter colors and darker blacks, resulting in more visually stunning videos.

This allows streamers to upload their videos in small files on HEVC-supported platforms like YouTube while maintaining a high quality.

HEVC is a codec that is highly efficient at compressing video, by up to 15 percent according to NVIDIA. Besides the Broadcast features, OBS is also getting the long-awaited support for the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) codec and HDR (high dynamic range).
