Hello.

I'm using an Elgato HD60 and a Avermedia Live Gamer HD lite. I want to duplicate/double/splitt the signal/source (not the OBS source object) of the HD60. Reason: to be able to record in 1080p60 on my main PC and stream to my second PC for live streaming and encoding. Is there a way to you use the HD60 for more than one application? Like a HDMI splitter built into windows or an app? Yes I could just use the live gamer HD, but i don't like the quality of the recordings.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,
you can use nginx-rtmp in local computer, stream send to local computer and now you can get stream many times like (in obs use Media Source).
It's very simple.

Thanks Tomasz Góral. I made a test record and my 4790k @ 4,7GHz can't keep up with 1080p60 x264, veryfast @ 40MBit in OBS using the HD60. I need a capture device without CPU usage just for displaying the video signal. I'm using rtmp and want to switch to ndi to stream to my stream PC. I think i will discard the HD60 and look at a PCIE-Card.

With the HD60 and RTMP over network with Quicksync I loss details.
