    I moved recently and In the area where I live, I'm only getting 2.5-3 mbps up and tried streaming an offline game at 720p and had terrible results. I thought I would not be able to stream anymore =(
    But after following your video and a couple other tutorials, I'm managing to stream at 720p 60fps with 224 audio bitrate. It sounds good and the image quality isn't that bad (not ideal, but wayyyy better than before optimizing). Now I can stream again!
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Thank you for another great video. I love that your videos really focus on what a church has to do to get best sound and picture quality; the video gamers are great too, but they don't address all the same issues that churches face. Your tutorials have got us up and running for the quarantine-stream. We want to continue the live-streaming after the congregation is allowed back to church. I checked out your other videos on which cameras are appropriate, already we are making headway in making a proposal for the simplest 'sound booth' arrangements. Blessings!

      Jeff Swartzentruber well, i’ve learned a lot in the last three weeks since watching this. You have to have the perfect storm of a good camera, the correct configuration in OBS, and a computer that is capable of processing everything. I finally isolated my problem down to my computer. My computer is a mid 2012 MacBook Pro and it’s way too slow to keep up with all of this. I’m not a big computer guy so that never even occurred to me. I’m running Catalina on my MacBook and my day to day stuff works just like it did the day I got the computer years ago. I didn’t realize that it was severely lacking in the video processing department. I’ve since been looking at a new beefed up PC. I think that’s one of the things that a lot of people fail to mention in these tutorials. You have to have the power under the hood to make all the stuff work properly. Hopefully this comment will help anyone else that’s having the same problem.

    Thank you for your concise and thorough explanation of the basic OBS settings, it's exactly what I was needing in my Church Streaming journey. But as a person with not quite perfect hearing, I find the (obligatory?) backing track very distracting. You have such a clear voice and confident speaking manner, why spoil that with the addition of the unnecessary "music-on-hold"?

    Thank you so much for doing these videos. So helpful! I have one question. Our audio is coming from Logic Pro X which is then being sent to another computer running OBS. At 8:34 you start going over the audio settings. When you use the term “input source”, you’re referring to audio, correct? You’re saying that audio from a video source will most likely be 48khz. However, since my “input source” is from Logic, I can set this at either 44 or 48, correct? Thanks for the help. Much appreciated!

    GREAT VIDEO! I'm doing a Ballastflix right now, watching all your videos hahaha. Whats is the bit rate you recommend for streaming in 360p or 480p? The internet and PC are not great in my church, and It's lagging too much (I've watched your video about that too) so I want to spare bandwidth and process power. I believe I should reduce the video resolution at the cameras and swicher too in sort of sparing the PC?

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  4 года назад

      What video interface do you have? Yes, you can run 480p at about 1500, or 360p you could run down to 700 if you have to and still have a manageable image. Experiment with it a little. If you can add a graphics card that supports nvenc to your pc it will make a world of difference.

    Great Steven as always! I would like to see inyour future videos how to manage with internet in case of taking services to another venue (hotel, club, church) far away your headquarters, where the bandwidth can not be appropriate to a live streaming. Cheers!

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  6 лет назад +1

      All the same principles would still apply. Know what your upload bandwidth is, and set your bit rate accordingly. Unfortunately when streaming you are at the mercy of your bandwidth. Might want to lower the resolution of your stream so a lower bandwidth will still look ok. Also, if any way possible avoid wifi and use an Ethernet connection. This would still apply no matter where you are: ruclips.net/video/-OyOBRhjYeo/видео.html

  • @MichaelW.1980
    @MichaelW.1980 3 года назад

    Giving the general advice of setting the scaled resolution to 1280x720 *can* lead to difficulties on slow internet connections. If a connection can’t upload 6 Mbit or more, you’d have to send less data, which in turn makes your stream look worse, unless you choose a lower resolution to scale to. On 720p30, 4000 kbit is the lowest I could recommend. A bitrate lower than this will make the image quality suffer considerably, because in the end, the bitrate directly influences the image quality of a set resolution.
    That being said, depending on the purpose of a recording, I find 32 Mbit to be a bit of overkill on a resolution of 1080p30. Even a blu ray disk - tho technically possible- almost never outputs that bitrate. Most movies stored on that media have a bitrate of 18-25 Mbit. Unless you plan to edit the recording, 25 Mbit will most likely be more than enough. If you edit the recording 32 Mbit *might* give your recordings a bit more detail.

      As always, I recommend an i7 processor, 16GB of Ram, and using an NVIDIA graphics card that supports NVENC. Then you can encode video on your graphics card and that will free up your CPU for the DAW.

    Short question. I own a Macbook Pro from 2018. I last connected my DSLR via USB and integrated it into OBS using a software solution. A USB mic is also connected to the Macbook Pro. When streaming, the Macbook Pro box has already reached its limits and the CPU load ensures that you can actually no longer use the computer to work in a program and stream a video tutorial, for example.
    The ATEM Mini Pro with built-in encoder could solve this problem for me. In any case, I understand it that way, when I connect all the hardware mentioned to the ATEM Mini Pro and also connect my Macbook Pro to the ATEM via HDMI, that I can stream directly from the ATEM Mini Pro and the entire CPU performance would no longer come to fruition yes the ATEM is working.
    How does it all work when I connect all my hardware to the ATEM Mini Pro and connect it to my Macbook Pro via USB-C and then stream from my Macbook Pro via OBS (source is then ATEM video and audio). Is the CPU utilization of my Macbook Pro even smaller than when I use the first scenario without ATEM? Have you been able to gain experience on this?

    • @BallastMedia
      @BallastMedia  3 года назад +1

      Connecting the Mini to the MacBook would be the same as connecting the camera to the MacBook, each are seen as a video feed that the MacBook has to encode. Using the MacBook as a source in to the atem mini pro and streaming from it, sounds like the best way to go for you. (Short of purchasing a new computer that is up to the task)

      The clean box pro isn't an audio interface. You need a USB audio interface with pre-amps to get audio in to a computer. Something like the Focusrite 2i2 (amzn.to/2UQiF4w) , or the Behringer UM2. (amzn.to/3d6Yypb)

      Theoretically yes. The issues you will run in to are 1. If they are bus powered your usb controller may not be able to power all of them. (You can add an additional USB pcie card if you are using a desktop). 2nd issue may be the data bandwidth all the cameras will need again may exceed the capability of the USB controller.
