Hi all,
Long time user of OBS here. I have usually used OBS on a single computer and with a single source -- the game I am playing.
I have moved to a dual computer setup. My gaming PC will be running a full screen game, and that screen is captured and sent to my streaming PC using an Elgato HD 60 Pro. This means that I have a single "Video Capture Device" source in OBS that is my entire screen.
I am attempting to do Mixed Reality with Quartered Screens. This means that I need two copies of my main screen, both cropped to different sections of the screen. These cropped sections are overlaid (along with a chrome-keyed camera view) to create a background and a foreground to put your camera image "into" the game.
Due to the global sources used in OBS Studio, I have not been able to get this to work, since a cropping filter will affect all sources in the scene. I also cannot use two different sources that both pull from the same Elgato capture card, as only one of them will actually display data. This worked on a single PC setup by setting one source as a game capture, and the other source as a window capture, but this dirty hack isn't available when sending data over a capture card.
Is there a workaround I am missing, or will I have to change my plan of action completely?
Thanks for the help!
