    Getting Started

    NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector NIM uses gRPC APIs for inferencing requests. Following instructions demonstrate the usage of Synthetic Video Detector NIM model using Python client.

    Prerequisites

    You will need a system with git and Python 3.10+ installed.

    Download the NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector Python client

    Download code by cloning the gRPC Client Repository:

    git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA-Maxine/nim-clients.git
    cd nim-clients/synthetic-video-detector/
    

    Install the dependencies for the NVIDIA Synthetic Video Detector Python client:

    sudo apt-get install python3-pip
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    

    Run Python Client

    Navigate to the scripts directory

    cd scripts
    

    Send gRPC request

    Open a command terminal and execute below command to send gRPC request. If you have generated the API key, it will be auto-populated in the command.

    python synthetic-video-detector.py --preview-mode \
    --target grpc.nvcf.nvidia.com:443 \
    --function-id 847b6e53-0133-452d-ab85-d7acf3ace723 \
    --api-key $NVIDIA_API_KEY \
    --video-input <input file path> \
    --save-csv
    

    Example command with sample input:

    python synthetic-video-detector.py --preview-mode \
    --target grpc.nvcf.nvidia.com:443 \
    --function-id 847b6e53-0133-452d-ab85-d7acf3ace723 \
    --api-key $NVIDIA_API_KEY \
    --video-input ../assets/fake_sample_video.mp4 \
    --save-csv
    

    Note the requirements for input file:

    • The supported file type is mp4 with H.264 codec.
    • The size limit for input file is 500 MB.
