Question / Help OBS Assistant Person for text and graphic generator

[Ronald Cz]

I am planning to do a conference and I expect there will be a lot of text that needs to go to a ticker, lower third or side panel but my main switcher will be watching the multiple cameras and interview and will not be able to concentrate on composing text displays.

Is it possible to have a second computer generating text and graphics for the main switcher to load into scenes for display?

Yes, a professional solution is CasparCG. It‘s Open Source from the colleagues of Swedish Television SVT. When I‘m working with our OB-Van, I‘m doing it with two times key/fill over SDI. When working with our streaming-mobile, I‘m feeling OBS over NDI.
