From PC World: At CES 2024, Nvidia and Twitch announced a collaboration with OBS called “Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting” — a complete overhaul of the traditional streamer-to-Twitch pipeline and encoding experience.
This new feature aims to make streaming easier, low-latency and buffer-free viewing more accessible, and has the potential to revolutionize video quality on Twitch along the way. And yes, AV1 is coming to Twitch, too — though maybe not as immediately as many are hoping for.
Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting is a new process for streaming from OBS Studio to Twitch that is entering beta this week. Enhanced Broadcasting allows the streamer to supplement Twitch’s stream transcoding (converting the original live stream, sent by the streamer, into lower resolution and lower bitrate versions) on their own hardware and send multiple different quality versions of their stream to Twitch at the same time. The test phase involves a new beta build of OBS Studio and can be signed up for via streamers’ Twitch dashboards.
