Question / Help Hardware recommendations...

[Oliver Baumann]

Hi there
I plan to use OBS Studio for some livestreaming of a event, but I can't find recommendations for the hardware that's neccessary for this. I have a bmd intensity pro 4k for capturing and 2 computer's that I could use. One is a Dell Precision T7500 with 2 xeon cpu's (E5530, 2.4 ghz, 4 cores) with a nvidia quadro fx 4800. The other computer is a self buildt machine with a i7 4770K and a nvidia gtx 970. I would prefer to use the dell precision, cause the other one is my current video editing machine. I tried to stream with the dell recently, but the stream was stuttering until i lowered the bitrate under 3000 kbps. Would a newer gpu solve the problem or are the 2 xeons to slow? Both machines have ssd's, plenty or ram and cooling fans.
Thank you for any answer! I would like to be able to stream 1080p50 with about 6000 kbps.
Oliver

OK, If I see that correct, the Upload connection was not good enough. Too bad. Is there anything else that is obviously wrong? I hat some audio delay on the hdmi input during the day (growing delay, about 1,5 secs in the end), but no delay on the audio signal which was recorded trough the internal soundcard. At one time, the camera got disconnected cause the hdmi cable was unplugged, after plugging it back in, the signal came back but the audio delay grew +1sec cause of this... If the problem is the hdmi audio, I could easily connect another usb soundcard and ingest the camera-audio through a separate cable...would that help?

Sure is.

It seems that your cam connected to Blackmagic, so you almost unable to manage this (otherwise, for facecam, you can set buffering option to disable in 'Video Capture Device' source properties).
