Twitch/livestream setups.

I have one rifle case and one C-stand case. It fits everything I need except the commentator station, which is its on unit carried as-is (the carry-on is a mobile table when I stream solo on a single game on location).

I have a pretty beefy mixer in my rig that folks are usually gasping at. Here’s a snippet of my praise and the features I use that are especially useful when streaming pinball. Using the Mackie 802VLZ4 audio interface for pinball streaming. Recorded at Raccoon City Pinball. - YouTube

I don’t know where else this meme would be understood. Memes aside, where can we source 8020 part numbers besides 8020.net? I’ve seen Amazon have some from questionable sources…

Maybe try one of the distributors? We have one here in MN that I thought about buying from. They have some stock of precut lengths it looks like and misc stuff.

Try tnutz.com

All of the TV rigs I built for INDISC were from tnutz. Much cheaper than 8020, and parts are interchangeable.

Thanks folks, I’ll wait one more week for them to get their thumb out before exploring other options.

They called me back after I tagged them on social media. :roll_eyes: Best they could do was shipping next week. :laughing:

Question on streaming at a location without WiFi/Broadband. What are the best options for a mobile connection and what type of quality can be expected?

You’ll have to talk to your provider. Best to get a good hotspot plan. Tell them the speeds you need and go from there.

having to move to OBS in a hurry owing to another xsplit bug - how are folks changing what the mwelch mod displays, I’m assuming updating the URL?

has anyone made this simpler? :smiley:

Anyone still using a Nyrius WS55?

I am running into an issue across all cameras that it either displays a black screen or on and off static- I’ve tried different cables, ports and capture devices with no luck.

Thanks!

We use it at league. Works fin with a Panasonic HC-V770 camcorder and a monoprice HDMI splitter. I just got a Hollyland for myself, I haven’t put it to test yet, but I surely like the build quality and the fact it comes with a 1/4-20 thread. No more home baked mounts.

Hollylands are sick but I think can only do two at once like the blackbirds.

I do 3 hollylands no problem. But I haven’t streamed that much really. I think there are actually 6 channels, so that would be the limit… but don’t hold me to that.

I want to love the holly lands but I’ve just had too many wierd issue with them - they use the same band as 2.4Ghz wifi so you get collision detection from wifi and they will jump to other channels without you knowing about it although there is a menu on the device that might have settings to manage that but I’ve not explored that (todays job :D) but annoyingly they don’t collision detect each other! During my stream of Inline tournament last week despite only using two holly lands that I set one on a low channel and the other on a high channel they both ended up on channel 8?! and started to interfere with each other. My accsoon was set mid band see below:

I’ve been testing this:

and through a few streams and two tournaments its been bullet proof. It uses both 2.4G and 5G channels for diversity. Downside is it uses Sony batteries and doesn’t support USB power but I managed to get a whole day out of one large battery.

But some good news this week from accsoon: They just announced the CINEVIEW HE which has USB-C power but also has USB-C streaming, Meaning you don’t need an encoder anymore you plug this into your USB-C port and it looks like a streaming device to OBS. If this works the way I think it is then my MacBook Pro Max will be my new mobile streaming rig again. I’ve got a Cineview on order and will update once it arrives, It has dual band transmission also.

CINEVIEW HE

Good to know. Maybe I misunderstood a previous convo with @kdeangelo about them.

yeah so (unsurprisingly) no menu to lock the freq on holly land. I have emailed them and asked if they could consider a weighting option to specific bands.

Very new to Twitch/OBS/Streaming, in fact our setup has mainly been put together by volunteers, with little involvement directly from me. My questions is this, we initially setup OBS on a laptop and now we are moving to a tower desktop. Is there an easy way to import all of our current OBS settings into the new PC?

Just adding on that you may want to export both your profile (Proifle->Export) and your scenes (Scenes->Export). The profile will control things like your Twitch stream key and encoding settings. The scenes are your stream layout.
