Redundancy Machine / Mirrored Backup System to switch to mid stream.

[Rua Acorn]

I am looking for a way to build in a redundancy setup for streaming.
For example, 2 computers with OBS plugged into a splitter of some sort. One is mirroring the other so if the software or computer crashes you can simply switch to the other one without stopping the stream.

Has anyone set something like this up?

Thanks!

What setup have you got? That would give us an insight to possible solution.

None atm! We are starting from scratch with one priority being that built-in-redundancy is at the core.
I am happy to consider using Windows (We use mac) if necessary. I want to build a stable system that is as compact and nimble as possible.

I am trying to bridge the gap between software (OBS etc) and hardware live streaming. The former being generally unreliable for more corporate applications and the later being to cumbersome, inflexible and expensive for regular use.

This is looking like a professional system that would cost a bit. Built-in-redundancy on either software and/or hardware would have to be bonded signal technology. LiveU, Tradek and Speedify are among the few that come to mind, all on a sub basis. Most times the problem is internet delivery solution which these three can offer you. There are lots of advice on youtube regarding this to start you off.
