Welcome to the discussion on the best ways to use splitcamming for broadcasting across multiple platforms. This thread is a rich resource for anyone looking to expand their presence on more than two sites simultaneously. Below are the key points, advice, and shared experiences from our community:
- Exploring different splitter options is crucial, with OBS and Xstreamer being common starting points. The need for a splitter in addition to OBS for quality image broadcasting is highlighted.
- Recommendations for splitters include Splitcam and Verysoft, with varying feedback on performance.
- The importance of a powerful PC for splitcamming is emphasized, noting that more streams require more CPU power. A splitter or a "splittersuite" can add text and animations to streams, with the VX splitter from Visit-X mentioned for its low CPU/RAM usage and acceptance by Live Jasmin.
- Technical specifications for successful splitcamming are discussed, including the need for a strong internet connection and the bandwidth requirements for streaming at different resolutions.
- Personal experiences with splitters like VerySoft and OBS with a splitter plugin are shared, along with the advice to test demo versions of various splitters to find the best fit.
- The OBS Virtual Cam Plugin is mentioned as a solution for using OBS to broadcast on multiple sites, though costs and technical requirements should be considered.
Overall, the thread underscores the necessity of robust hardware and internet, careful choice of splitter software, and the willingness to experiment to achieve optimal splitcamming results.
