Hi all - First post :)

I currently use a Decklink Mini Recorder 4k to record a camera input of our meet rooms at work but I'm now being asked to record a second angle in the room at the same time.

I believe that I'll need to run two instances of OBS to handle the two separate recordings - Is this correct?

I'll have a second capture card (Decklink Mini Recorder 4k) installed to supply the two sources.

How much processor power will I roughly need to do this. The current computer we have is the....

HP ProDesk 600 G4
  • Intel Core i7-8700 with Intel UHD Graphics 630 (3.2 GHz base frequency, up to 4.6 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 12 MB cache, 6 cores)
  • Windows 10 Pro 64
  • Intel UHD Graphics 630
  • 8 GB DDR4-2666 SDRAM (1 X 8 GB)
  • 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD
Will this be ok to record two sources?

Thank you for your help.

Does the video card really affect me trying to record the video inputs?

The computer is only controlled via remote desktop so I didn't think the video card would matter at all?

OBS need fast memory access for build scene, Intel UHD Graphics 630 is too slow because use system memory, for data from 4K.
Remote desktop use 5-10% CPU.
