I am streaming music (DJ) with OBS to Twitch. I'm already quite familar with using OBS studio, but I still working on the right hardware setup. Currently I'm using a Logitech920 Webcam and a GoPro 11 in Webcam Mode. Unfortunatelly my Notebook is not powerfull enough to deal with it and I ordered a new desktop PC, which has enough performance for the stream. I'm using a seperate Notebook for the music control and also the music transfer into the desktop PC is fixed (mixer with USB interface). Now I have to issues.
2.) The distance between my streaming setup and the streaming PC is big, because of the room, I need a cable length of Cameras and sounds of around 8-10m. For the gopro, I will switch to HDMI, sound is no problem (symetric cables) and the webcam will hopefully work with 5-6 m, otherwise I have to exchange it. Unfortunatelly i cannot arange it differently, but do someone has a great idea how to deal with long distances and USB connections?
1.) I need a capture card (idealy with 2 or more HDMI inputs), because of the long distances and maybe will also add a 3. camera. So I'm thinking about different solutions and don't like external USB capture cards. Internal cards are expensive, so a nice alternative would also be a Atem Mini. It can handle 4 inputs and connected via USB as a webcam to the PC. For sure, I'm a little bit limited in the setup of 2 cameras together and it's also limited to 1080p, but full-HD is enough for me. What would you recomend? Or what are the advantages/disadvantages of the 2 options?
PS: Or would it make sense to place a Atem mini at the streaming setup (short distance, and use the OBS Overlays,... as external HDMI input in the Atem mini and stream directly with the Atem mini via LAN?
