I use a split screen setup.
The top left half contains game footage direct from the capture card. The top right half contains the chat that's going on along with the program to read out the chat.
The bottom half is divided into three different live cameras pointing to the various different places depending on whether I'm in the classic scene or in the modern scene or exercising or playing a light gun game
There are a total of six cameras three of them are used for the classic scene three of them are used for the modern scene and a different mix of those six are used for the light gun and the exercising both retro and modern.
The bottom sixth has text describing special things about my broadcast like 3D and headphone surround and a website to visit.
All of those five scenes each incorporate three cameras, and seems share the cameras but I don't need to switch off in the middle of the stream.
The most complex part of this is the whole thing above describes one of two eyes either a left eye or a right eye.
They could be combined in two different ways while they're being simultaneously broadcast one is through a 32x9 broadcast which is side-by-side, the other turns everything in the monochrome and overlays the left layer and the right layer with the left being tinted black and red and the right being tinted black and cyan to form an anaglyph black and white picture. The ratio of this picture is 16x9.
I want to be able to quickly get up and broadcast whenever I want however my cameras do not cooperate. If I broadcast from the same scene I did before it's usually fine but if I change scenes from one broadcast to the next the cameras look like it takes a long time to load on the OBS app.
And to make sure it wasn't a Mac OS problem I loaded photo booth and all 13 perspectives were instantly accessible one at a time.
I dropped the resolution of the cameras to something that will actually fit on a split screen instead of trying to let the computer compact the pixels.
Is there a way I could organize all these different shots I have in a way that won't bog down the cameras?
By the way all 12 cameras are identical left eye and right eye versions of the same six camera the Minoru 3D camera. I would manually switch them however the OS does not distinguish between them and I have to randomly click and pray to find the right perspective, and it's not just which camera but whether it's the left eye or right eye.
It seems like I disappoint everyone taking like 30 minutes to set up once I'm ready to broadcast just to change everything.
Maybe I'm not understanding obs's internet program organization correctly, but the one thing I'm willing to sacrifice is changing scenes in the middle of a broadcast. I could just put it on one scene and play games until something stops me other than OBS hopefully. It's so scene transitions which always bog me down.
The log says I have insufficient hardware.
I'm using a 2018 Mac Mini and I'm accessing the thunderbolt ports in the way they're supposed to be accessed with thunderbolt cables and Thunderbolts docks with extra USB 3.0 ports.
Every camera has a separate USB a 3.0 Port attached to it except for one pair of cameras which has split a USB 3.1 C into multiple 3.0 As.
I do have a free 3.0 A port on one of the docs and I can't upgrade a thunderbolt 2 dock to a thunderbolt 3 dock if I buy a new thunderbolt cable but that's not where all the direction is coming from.
What would be the easiest easiest setup to just have everything there right away and just go straight to it with a fix format of split screen and multiple scenes that don't need to be changed in the middle of the broadcast.
There are three things I could do I could do. I can bring a fourth usb-c cable to the camera and split that pair into two separate USB 3.0 paths. That requires a long USB a cord and that's about it. The next easiest step is to wait until the internet gets boosted from 10 megabits out to 250 megabits out. The last thing I could do is update the computer which might be good because my Intel Mac can no longer perform PC stuff anyway so it might just be better just to turn it in and get an m1 or M2 Mac Mini.
So, is the main problem with my organization my internet bandwidth or my hardware? Just wondering your guys's opinions.
