multiple cameras to different outputs

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to stream three live cameras simultaneously to three different outputs. My idea is that the end user can switch between them and select at each moment which one to see. Is it possible to do this with OBS? I know I can create scenes wit PiP setups or switch between scenes when streaming, but I want the user to decide at each moment which camera to see. I have been testing with two copies of OBS running at the same time and changing the streaming settings on each one. And it works, but when I exit the program the settings are lost and I have to configure them again each time. It is very important that the latency is as low as possible, which is why I am working with the WebRTC version of OBS.

I am using a macbook pro M1 16" with ventura 13.3.1

Thank you very much in advance

It sounds like an ISO streaming for individual sources. There's a multiple output plugin you can install to send a single output stream to different platforms but it would have to be you program output. The only I can see this possible is to run three instances of OBS each sending a separate source to the destination. Maybe you can utilise SRT in OBS to the endpoint
The big question is do you have the bandwidth required to support all the streams simultaneously?

Hi Babs,

Thanks for your reply. I'll try with three instances and see how it works. Looks like a nice feature to include in next updates. I had no bandwidth problems with two streams, let's see with three...

How is it running then? If you start it with a button, what's behind that button?

What's "the WebRTC version of OBS"? Is that a third-party derivative? Different product altogether?

It's a modified version created by dolby to work with milicast (WebRTC). Anyway I also hace installed the 29.1.1 official version and terminal keeps throwing the same error. I am using a macbook pro M1 16" with ventura 13.3.1

I think that would be Dolby's problem then. We have no idea what they did to it.

How do you launch the official version? Look into the settings there and see if you can find a command that it's running in the background. Copy/paste that command into a terminal and give it the --help flag.
