Can OBS detect multiple Intensity Pro capture cards? The manufacturer says I can install as many as I have PCIx slots [paraphrased]. Now, can OBS detect and display multiple (of the same) capture cards?

If OBS can detect and display each capture card, can I then run overlay them via green screen?

Can I switch from one camera to the next during live streaming? (Obviously it should, since each capture card is a source, scene1=card1 and scene2=card2, then switch scene1 <--> scene2 repeated to my heart's content ^^, )

My goal: using two cameras and wish to switch between them in live streaming.

thank you

Personally, I'm not sure about the multiple capture devices, as I've only ever needed a single device at any time. Someone else may have more experience when it comes to that, so I'll allow them to throw input your way.

As far as being able to easily switch between multiple sources while streaming or recording, that is 100% possible, and very easy to do with some manual intervention. Simply just adjust the position of the current visible source to the top of the list to make it be the actively displayed device, and you're golden.

Many people do this all the time with webcams. I don't see why doing it with any other kind of device would be any different.
