Can OBS handle multiple USB video/audio sources

I'm using OBS to record movies from a HDMI to USB adapter. The setup works beautifully. My sources are "video capture device" and "usb audio". I now need to add an analog TV (composite or S) to USB adapter. Will OSB be able to select between two different video capture devices and two different usb audio sources?

Can OBS handle it - absolutely as noted above by someone way more knowledgeable than I

However, can your PC handle it? that is a whole other question. See forums posts on monitoring/troubleshooting USB Root Hub issues. You can overload a PCs USB sub-system. And if that will happen depends on chipsets, motherboard mfg, BIOS, etc and your devices (ie ... it depends). there are ways, discussed plenty of times in this forum, on work-around connection setups if required just do a search on USB Root Hub (where you will also find links to a monitoring app)
