Question / Help How to deal with a lot of inputs

Hi there,

I'm struggeling with my plan for a Setup. I want to use 8 or even more Video streams and Combine them. I'd like to use them in splitscreens. And here comes the issue: The amount of combinations is huge. Even with "only" 8 streams and a 2x2 splitscreen we're talking about 70 possible combinations.

I'll guess it's not the smartest idea to creat a Scene for every combination. Since I'll have to manage the Output with quick response to what is Happening I'm currently building a custom Keyboard for all the shortcuts.

So what I'm looking for is a way for something like this:

selecting a Scene which defines the "Kind" of splitscreen (2x2, 3x3 or even Special ones), then select which Input should be placed at which Location (stream 4 in upper left Corner of 2x2) and then execute a command to Switch to this Scene.

This is possible with professional Equipment as far as I know. But holy cr** is this stuff expensive. That's why I'm looking for another way of realizing my Needs.

Possible Workaround(requires programming knowledge):
Install obs-websocket, create an interface (eg. html, python) where you can select the "kind" of splitscreen and the required sources, then send it thought an algorithm that calculates the required positions and then update with "SetSceneItemPosition", "SetSceneItemTransform" and "SetSourceRender"(In studio mode so the changes are not visible until you transition the updated scene to program)
