1x PCIe Blackmagic Decklink Duo 2 card for capturing cameras.

Desktop PC with i9-10850K, Geforce RTX 3090 23GB, 32GB RAM.The mobile studio loaded into a Videolink.ca mobile flight case includes both production machine and observer station. VMix Desktop Capture through NDI is used to transmit player cameras and POV. We usually reach an audience of 1000-2000 people. With Hat Films, we stream to at the maximum ingest bitrate (6000kbps), with the resolution of 1080p60 for the best gameplay experience.With Covid-19, we each stream to our own individual channels and utilise the Squad Stream feature to allow our audience to choose who to watch. Our D&D setup is streamed concurrently to both /yogscast and /highrollersdnd at 1080p30 - with an average audience of 3000-6000 people. How many people are in your production team?įor Hat Films, the 3 man Youtuber setup - I perform live vision mixing and streaming, while my colleague works with an audio mixer for our levels. In our Covid Setups we simply desktop capture using vMix.Gameplay is captured using Newtek NDI, allowing us to wirelessly transmit it at high frame rate without needing extra SDI cards.In our remote Covid-19 setups, Elgato Game Capture cards are used more frequently as we don't have the decklink SDI card, so USB 3.0 is suitable for cameras.This then is all input to a Blackmagic Decklink Pro SDI card.We use a redundancy PC to ensure we remain live, so we output the whole signal through an Elgato HD60S external card.As mentioned above, the camera goes through an Atomos Shogun converting HDMI to SDI and applying a LUT.

What type of capture device/s do you use? With Covid-19 we have mini-ITX builds with slightly less performance, a 2080 card instead of 2080ti, and 32gb ram instead of 64.Our stream PC has a similar specification - though it includes a motherboard that houses 2 CPU's, and the decklink PCI card.We each have custom built gaming rigs that include an Nvidia 2080ti graphics card, 64gb ram, intel core i7-7820x at 3.60GHz.What computers are used for your productions? For D&D, as we are remote now - the players have a variety of setups ranging from webcams to DSLR's - some utilising an Elgato capture card.The HDMI signal routes to an Atomos Shogun, allowing us to apply a real time LUT, and then that is outputted to an SDI, which is inserted in a Decklink Pro card in our main streaming machine. For our face cams, we utilise 3 x blackmagic pocket cinema camera, mounted on a manfrotto arm that anchors to our desks.Here's a little bit of info about their setup from Chris.
