OBS and BirdDog cameras

[Matthias Berlin]

We have been streaming for quite some time now using an Atem mini and three cheap panasonic cameras. OBS is doing a fine job in allowing lower-thirds, pre-produced movie sequences etc.
We now want to simplify our setup (i.e. shorten the setup-time) by using three BirdDog P100 cameras.
Can somebody please confirm that OBS on a regular Windows machine is capable of handling three full NDI streams from the BirdDog-cameras (plus a fourth NDI-stream from a laptop transferring only sound...)?
Thank you, best regards

OBS can handle as many NDI sources as your network throughput and CPU performance (for stream decoding) allow.
Do be aware that NDI sources can EASILY saturate even a gigabit network very quickly. 3-4 should be safe, but would use a significant portion of the available network capacity.
