Another Hawaii Tech Tuesday live event but for the first time, we steamed it at 1080 via You Tube Live Event, using OBS software to mix three video sources locally and upload to you tube using only 1 machine.  A few glitches but overall we are pleased with the capability.  We used an AverMedia Broadcaster HD to capture VGA video from a pass through connection on the projector in the room.  Our primary (presenter) video was via USB utilizing a Logitech C920.  The in-room Q&A camera was a Canon HV20 video camera capturing images at 1080i which connected to the single host PC via USB3 where an AverMedia ExtremeCap u3 external video capture device completed the video inputs.  Audio captured through our Mackie ProFX 8 mixer which was selected as a mic source within OBS.
Now that we've reduced the number of machines from 3 to 1, our 5 mbps uplink is more than sufficient.  OBS wasn't breathing hard at all.

While visiting the OBSProject.com site today, I noticed that the fruit of Jim's hard work on the multiplatform version of OBS is "ready for picking!" As of July 14, the Macintosh version of the new OBS is available for download.  Linux version and a new revised Windows version are promised soon.  While I'm jealous, I guess I understand why we Windows guys have to wait a little longer before we can trade in our old OBS for the new version.  Looking forward to exploring the re-written product and playing with any new features that Jim has been able to include.  Looking forward to hearing from the Linux and Mac folks on what they think of OBS!

Lurking in the gamer community lately in search of tips on video capture devices uncovered something interesting that Intel is doing with their newer processors.  The feature is called Quick Sync Video and it is described in the linked video.  My home machine doesn't have a new enough chip, but I'll definitely be trying this out on my next Hawaii TechWorks Tech Tuesday live event.

I managed to get one HDMI camera into my HOST pc using an AverMedia video capture card.

I managed to get one HDMI camera into my HOST pc using an AverMedia video capture card.  If I want to pull in another HDMI video source, I'll have to do it via one of the USB 3 ports as the machine has only 1 expansion slot.  I still want to stick with the machine for its i7 8 core processor, 32 GB RAM and strong video card.  Reviews on the BlackMagic Design Intensity Shuttle for USB http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003WSQTWU/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2GI2495VE4FCV&coliid=I1O4KGGK5T7ASH
seem rife with USB compatibility issues.  I'm trying to decide between that, the Roxio Game Capture HD Pro http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008YTAGGW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2GI2495VE4FCV&coliid=I2PZ75PKIZJDLI

or the 42Kmi Game Grabber HD http://42kmi.com/store/42kmi-gamegrabber-hd#.U692dvldV8E
Has anyone in the community any experience bringing an HDMI video source into OBS via a USB capture device?
Any/all comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I am on a mission to reduce the number of computers needed to host live event's and stream them to the web. I'm also moving to replace USB webcams with HDMI video camcorders for 1080 P and optical zoom.
The tricky part is that I'd like to be able to send my Hangout guests to the in-room projector.  The projector would also have to be able to switch to the presentation laptop for the formal presentation. 
My current live stream host computer has only 1 expansion slot available for an HDMI video capture card.  I'm taking a suggestion from Stephen Pritchard and looking to add an HDMI switch for local camera selection and feeding the switched source into the stream through the Host PC's video capture card.  I'll be using OBS.  I'll also consider outputting HDMI from the host machine back to the projector.  I think I can do all this with iogear's wireless 5x2 video switch. As a bonus, it will eliminate a lot of messy wires.  I'm just wondering how the video source switching will look when handled through such a switch?
What does the community think?

Terry Leigh Britton does your video capture card fit in a half height slot?

Terry Leigh Britton does your video capture card fit in a half height slot? I just realized that the primary HOA computer I use for HTW has only 1 half height card slot.
I am not thrilled with my 1/2 height card Avermedia gamebroadcaster HD as it is completely distoting HDMI input when using it as a source camera within an HOA. It looks ok within OBS.
If your card can be inserted into a half sized slot i'd go with what you are using.
Thanks for any/all feedback.
