Question / Help Help with mutiple (different) outputs idea

Hi Everyone! I'm working out how to accomplish an idea of mine, and want to get some ideas from each of you about how I would achieve this setup.

I have content that I would like to stream. I would like the 'Primary' content plus twitch specific overlays to stream to twitch. I would also like the 'Primary' content with a different overlay to stream out to Facebook.

I could potentially accomplish this with three different computers and three instances of OBS, where the first was used to generate the 'Primary' content, and that was fed into the input of two other OBS machines - each configured to add an overlay and transmit to it's destination.

The above does pose the following questions:

How do I use the output of one OBS instance to work as the input of another OBS instance?

Is it possible to setup a source that is an incoming RTMP stream?

In theory, I might set up the two "second tier" instances at a remote data center so that I can maximize bandwidth at the location where my primary content is being created, so having the option to have all three instances of OBS on a single machine, or to separate them would be useful.

Or, perhaps the need for three instances of OBS is overcomplicating things, and there's a much easier way?

I appreciate your advice!

Only two computer, one with game+OBS, second with multiple OBS.
Use NDI, Game computer send 'clear game', second computer receive signal and on OBS you can modify. Remember add portable.txt to multiple OBS instance.

Thank you! I read up on NDI and I think this solution will work great!
