Qualcomm announced the launch of a new Video Collaboration Platform for homes and businesses, which integrates Qualcomm's artificial intelligence, video and audio technologies to meet the needs of clearer and more convenient online video conferencing activities.
Through a dedicated AI accelerator, Qualcomm said it will allow customers to customize various application functions, including using AI for noise reduction, or corresponding to dynamic group framing, specific portrait framing, and speaker framing. It will also allow application products to be sold with features that can be used out of the box.
This video collaboration platform suite can be used in enterprise, healthcare, education, and home environments, and is compatible with video conferencing of varying scales. It can also connect to digital whiteboards, touch controllers, or personal home devices, and is compatible with both Android and Linux environments, shortening product commercialization time.
