Is there a limit as to how many cams I can connect and have in a scene??
Two work with no issues, but as soon as I add a third; all hell breaks loose. The third doesn't come in; it shows up, but will not work and only black is seen. Cam 2 usually stops working as well. I usually lose a mic in the process as well.
WHY OH WHY IS THIS HAPPENING??

Two work with no issues, but as soon as I add a third; all hell breaks loose. The third doesn't come in; it shows up, but will not work and only black is seen. Cam 2 usually stops working as well. I usually lose a mic in the process as well.

Is not a scene limit, it’s a hardware limit, you can’t connect more device because you reach or excedes bandwidth limit.

Let me throw this into the equation. I can run my 1080 cam with a 720 cam. But when I replace the 720 cam with a 1080, so I have two 1080 cams, one goes black.

Bandwidth of what?? Surely not dealing with the internet, is it??
Click to expand...
Soo if you connect any device like Camera you need some bandwidth, if you camera is USB device e.g. Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 you use USB bandwidth, second problem is camera driver and how many cams can work with driver (som camera can be run only one or three cams).
iGPU - integrated GPU (Graphic Processor Unit), yourr graphics card working only with olds OBS version.

Some times 2 cams with this same parameter can be run because use the same resources (probably the same PID number).

I added the graphics card, but it's still not working. Is there a way to make sure that OBS utilizes the graphics card and not the onboard card??
