I'd like to thank Babs for suggesting newer hardware would help.
In the meantime I got 12 cameras perfectly positioned as Left Right pairs.
I only need four cameras or two left right stereo cameras working at once and I don't need to switch between cameras in the middle of a broadcast.
I was going to divide the screen in the even quarters with one quarter being game footage one quarter being my face one quarter being my hands and one quarter being the chat.
There are three different shots I have. All three shots used two different sets of pairs. None of the three shots have any shots in common.
I noticed when I use an AB switcher for USB it does not instantly change to the other camera hooked up on the same AB switcher because the Left Right pairs are real close to each other with a USB hub but further out is another AB switcher because obviously putting them hubs between hubs is splitting the same bandwidth farther than it should go.
The most fancy thing about my production is obviously the three-dimensionalism.
I noticed while OBS is running if I press the ab switcher and change from one stereoscopic pair to another it loses everything and it's gone in the options.
Would this be a safe thing to do first set up my stereoscopic pairs by turning the ab switchers where I needed to go for the two camera shots then turning on OBS project and deciding from only four different cameras?
By the way I'm a 2018 Mac Mini i3 Intel are the two USB A ports considered one 3.0 bus or two separate 3.0 buses?
It seems like OBS crashes every time I try to change the ab connector on the stereoscopic pair because it's changing two cameras simultaneously.
If I don't want to retain memory of the camera and manually set it each time what is the best way to do it so that OBS doesn't crash every time I change cameras?
I understand OBS assumes that you're going to keep everything plugged in but the problem with that is Mac OS 13 does that let you differentiate between cameras that are of the same make and model.
People at Apple are telling me that they're going to put it in some sort of differentiator between identical USB products in Mac OS 14.
Also how much bandwidth does two USB cameras take? Does it depend on the resolution of the cameras? If so my cameras could be variably set? How much bandwidth does 30 frames by 1280x720 take at normal color bit depth?
It seems like if I get a full USB 3.0 I could do full color 1280x720 stereoscope 30 frames for One USB port. But splitting it with a USB 3.0 A splitter is a nightmare.
I know the 640 by 480 fits perfectly fine on my camera. Luckily each pair of cameras is fairly close to each other. 200 South side of my room two on the east side of my room and two on the north side of my room.
Just wondering what the best strategy is.
