But a mini PC without a nVideo NVENC capable card, the CPU will be busy. Do you have such expertise available to you? If not, you 'll need extra horsepower so folks aren't tripped up by non-optimized settingsįor buying a new system, expecting 3+ years life, personally I wouldn't go for anything less than 6-core/12-thread, which is overkill today for simple streaming to Facebook at 720p/30fps. So which camera tech to connect (as that has its own processing impact)įolks can get older, lower-powered system to work, by carefully and expertly managing Operating System and OBS settings to minimize hardware resource demands. When you say event, I think of something that a webcam won't work for (too wide angle, blurry at best more than 10ft out).
How long do you want this system to last? it depends (on more than what you've posted already)Īt what resolution and frame rate, what about chroma-keying (green screen)?Īudio effects/filters? How many cameras, etc.
