How do I make a photograph of my broadcast?

I'm trying to do a stereo test with 32x9 video that is actually 16x9 side by side proper ratio synced left and right frames.

There's currently no such thing as a test frame that I know of that is 32 by 9 organized such a way.

I was thinking of running my virtual camera and taking a still of it to get exactly a 2560x720 image of my studio so I can load it into my website and perform stereo tests on it when my video is not running live.

I don't know how you do a still photograph of a live camera that's Pixel Perfect what you have to have Pixel Perfect arrangement for 3D to work,

I could OS capture but I noticed guaranteed to get perfect size or lineup.

I tried using photo booth unfortunately the photo booth program for apple has two problems one is it's reversed horizontally and two it has a fixed 16x9 ratio. And I have no idea how to change either of those settings.

Any suggestions on how to get an OBS still of your broadcast, and just your OBS broadcast with no none of the operating controls on it?
 
In English, the term more commonly used for grabbing a still image of a video on the computer would be a snapshot, screen grab, or 'thumbnail' vs a photograph.
There are LOTS of ways, but I am not a subject matter expert in MacOS... so I'll eave finer detail suggestions to others
But, with that said, if you are Recording locally, there are MANY applications that will enable you to grab a still image from the video (just use the search terms I mentioned, not 'photograph')
 
OBS has a built-in screenshot hotkey, no extra app needed. Go to Settings > Hotkeys, scroll down to "Screenshot Output" and assign whatever key you want. Hit that key while your broadcast is running and it saves a pixel-perfect PNG of exactly what OBS is outputting, no OS chrome or window borders.

For your 32x9 setup specifically, make sure your canvas resolution in Settings > Video matches your target (2560x720 or whatever you're after) and the screenshot will be exactly that size.
