Hi guys !
I'm in the final stages of setting up live streaming capabilities to our curling club, and there are some pointers I'd like to get from some of the more experienced people on here :)
Our camera set up is set up like this : each sheet of ice has a camera facing each end of play, and a camera pointed down at each of the houses (to see the situation a bit more clearly), so each sheet has a total of four cameras. We are a three-sheet club, so 12 cameras in total.
I have completed tests on each individual sheet, so that we can stream every camera for a sheet through OBS to our Youtube channel : both end cameras side by side, with the house views in each of the top corners so they don't interfere with the main view. Here's a quick ASCII view of the general view :
The way we're looking to have this work is having three instances of OBS running (one for each sheet), so we can stream each sheet separate from the others.
We have sourced a used gaming laptop from one of our members, and while testing on my personal laptop has been ok, I'm wondering how much more power/specs would I need to have OBS run three instances instead of the only one I've tested.
My laptop specs :
Intel core i7-1355U
16gb RAM
Integrated Intel graphics (Iris Xe)
Specs on the laptop we could use :
AMD Ryzen 7 3750H
16gb RAM
Integrated AMD Radeon Vega Mobile GFX
It is a dated setup, but since it would be used for the sole purpose of running OBS at the club (and nothing else), I was wondering if it would be fine to use it or if we need a better dedicated machine (which would then become a point for the club's budget).
Let me know if you require more info, I realize that only specs might not be enough info to go on, but I'll try to find whatever is needed.
Thanks in advance for the help !
