This is a first for me . I have built computers in the past and know my hardware....for gaming but when it comes to what is needed for live capturing and streaming, I am really unsure.
I don't have a budget at the moment, but I would like to keep in affordable as it's not for me but for someone else that tasked me with this.
I know they will only have a single 4k input stream. On the outside, they have an external video switchers that will switch between 2-4 other video streams but the what they want to stream is one 4k stream. Downside to this, the video switcher is analog. I'll cross that bridge later.
My basic recommendations were maybe an Elgato 4k capture card, a 1060 for use as an encoder as they don't appear to have a built in hardware encoder and maybe a Ryzen 3600x with a matching motherboard and at least 16GB of ram. For software, I of course recommenced OBS.
Would this suffice? I don't know what sort of post processing effects they wish to do as the stream is entering the system so I don't know how much doing this would affect the minimum requirements. Also if anyone has any other cheaper 4k, decent capture cards to recommend, that would be great too.
