2 PC STREAM MASTERCLASS - Capture Cards, NDI, Aaalllll The Video Things

Setting up a 2 PC stream isn't actually that difficult.. if you know what you're doing. Here is the first bit in my masterclass on setting up a 2 PC setup.

EDIT: It's been about 9 months since I stopped using NDI and I had someone come into my Twitch chat to inform me there has been a MASSIVE change. You no longer need to have OBS installed on your gaming PC to run this. Thanks, @NerfedRogue, for helping me give people more accurate help. I'll be doing some serious tests of my own and releasing a full video on it soon.

What questions do you have for future 2 PC setup videos?

[KristoferYee]

You're getting a lot better at this, it's fun to watch.

[DG-america]

I wish someone would do a tutorial series of start to finish listing their builds, to cable routing from PC to PC and PC to monitors, then to setup, to audio setup for a final result.
Videos like this are all over YouTube, but they all lack the necessary details.

The KING of making streaming and learning this stuff enjoyable, informative, and downright easy. Keep doing the great work you do. Mad respect and appreciation my dude!!!

Harris the one and only stream doc, love your content dude very helpful!

Quick note about NDI, you don't need to run OBS on the gaming PC. Newtek has a tools suite that comes with NDI Scan Converter that sends over your monitor/audio from your gaming PC to your streaming PC. It has a low latency mode that is next to instant (same latency as modern capture cards). If quality and delay were your only concerns when looking into NDI as a transfer method, I'd highly recommend you look into it without running it using 2 instances of OBS like this tutorial suggests.

NDI woop woop! I love the flexibility NDI gives (especially the fact you can use an old desktop or laptop to run it). You can run everything in OBS on the gaming PC and just NDI it over to the 2nd PC for encoding (simplest, easiest, but maybe not the most efficient but still helps a lot) or just use scan converter as other people are pointing out to send everything on screen over to the 2nd PC without OBS being open on the main PC. This method is great too, but routing alerts audio and such back to the main PC makes it less simple, but improves gaming performance. Tradeoffs. My favorite function I can do with NDI now? NDI-ing my phone camera into the stream. Can use it within wifi range as a fun little mobile cam, or just as a secondary/tertiary camera (and mic). NDI ftw!

[catmasterOP]

Great video as always.
Important to point out with NDI is that you can compensate for the delay by using a "Render Delay" Filter on your camera and offsetting your Audio Input Capture in Advanced Audio Properties. The Render Delay Filter will only allow you to delay up to 500ms but you can add more than one to your source/scene.

Dude! I looked everywhere to figure out how to do this stuff. After watching this and your Audio version I subscribed. Really easily explained and gave multiple options. Thanks a lot.

[Rokushen]

I think one of the things that you forgot to mention is that you can delay both the camera and the mic audio and video to match the gameplay. that fixes at least the sync. amazing info and channel, btw. Has helped me a shit ton

[ColeRees]

Thank you for this channel. I’ve found that I can watch your videos for an hour or so just to start bouncing ideas around in my head and by the end of it I’ve written down notes on a brand new thing I want to incorporate. Thanks for sparking so many great ideas!

[simbasiniego]

I watched hundreds of videos and no one was as easy as yours, you are amazing bro!

[zyth]

The NDI one with the reaction thing is only if youre running your audio stuff from the streaming PC (Mic / webcam/ overlay etc) if you however set all this up on the Gaming PC you could run the whole schabang with a "mimiced" one PC settup with the streaming PC as a render rig. In that way, All signals have equal delay, of course you take a quality hit on those additional sources quality but its an option.

[TorynGent]

Thx for the video mate, it's astonishingly hard to find a decent summary of the stuff you just explained =)

[pariahgaming]

Dude, this video is 3 years old and it basically saved my life today! Thanks!

[Nick]

@AlphaGaming Great tutorial - but unfortunately in 2020, it doesn't quite apply to Elgato's most recent Elgato 4060s+ capture card device. Unlike the 460 Pro mk.2, the 4k60s+ does NOT allow for 1440p/144hz passthrough, meaning the signal never gets sent and the main gaming PC has this weird 60hz lock rather than the 144+hz it should be running at.

Do you have any more recent videos that cover this already?

[LASCurry]

This was awesome! I haven't made the switch yet to pc gaming, still playing console! Shared this will some of my pc friends that are looking to start streaming. Thanks for the video.

[savagearmygaming]

I appreciate everything that you do and enjoy your videos greatly. Your fixes have helped me with a few issues my stream has had as well as equipment. You deserve all the praise and subs you can get and excited for what's next! Have a great day sir!

[BEARFACE]

totally cleared everything up! the 1st option fit me best. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!! sigh of relief has been taken now 😅😅😁😁

[IamNinetyFour]

I literally JUST bought the Elgato HD 60 Pro and it arrived on my doorstep WHILE I was watching this video. PERFECT timing!
