I have a two computer set up I am planning for an upcoming tournament. I was originally going to use a program called QLab to provide me the media control, but since I don't have the cash to purchase a Mac, I've had to scale back and use a PC. Due to that I've had to find programs to use to help me with the media server and the content I want to show.

I already use OBS to stream to Twitch, and I want to use OBS on the second computer to output to the streaming computer. It's possible to have everything on a single computer but since the video is in 1080p it will be very resource heavy. I have a game capture card, I just need to be able to output OBS to HDMI. Is this possible?
 
Not really. You can use Projector Mode and set up the HDMI output as a monitor, but it can run into framerate issues and is quite an inefficient use of resources. OBS isn't meant to be a media jukebox or raw compositing software.
If you're going to be streaming though, why not just use OBS itself, directly? That is its primary purpose after all.
 
I can't. Not if I want the stream to stay up. I have 50gb of content that I don't need the streaming system to take care of.

If it can't be done with OBS I will look elsewhere for a program capable of doing this.
