“Indistinguishable Quality, Large File Size”

Output Settings

Recording

Input Sources (step1)

• [x] Sources in OBS
• [x] OBS allows to choose one or more active input source
• [x] Source area: Example https://webcast.swisscom.ch/csr/#/webcast/5fc4d18e6bf742439e2d73df/en
• [ ] — Display Capture
• [ ] Choose one monitor, go on full screen,
• [ ] Work-around Choose one monitor, go on full screen, do the OBS recording from other monitor
• [ ] Choose Display
• [ ] Choose the monitor we are using
• [ ] Configured Displays / Monitors
• [ ] Upload to Pcloud if Google Drive if not synched (Pcloud gets synched directly)
• [ ] — Audio
• [ ] Audio Output (source1): Choose a device that is connected Audio Output Connected or choose default
• [ ] Windows Default Devices
• [ ] default: Windows default speaker (Playback device) —> when recording a video (like SNB video)
• [ ] default: Windows default recording device
• [ ] Audio Input (source 2): Usually the microphone we are using or default
• [ ] Image – add snbchf’s logo to the video while recording
• [ ] When recording make sure that only one display is active (see it in preview)
• [ ] — Window Capture
• [ ] Window Capture one Tab Only
• [ ] Choose the Window you want to show
• [ ] [to be filled]
• [ ] –> for each display you must change the video size
• [ ] Must change Output Sizes according Sources

Video Sizes (step2)

• [x] Must change Output Sizes according Sources Switch sources on or off
• [x] Switch sources on or off and choose output
• [x] — Sources
• [x] Full Screen Recording Screen:
  we currently use the the 2560 size
  This gives a sufficent quality.
• [x] Set base Canvas same as input screen
• [x] Set base canvas to 1920, same as Input Display (for example Acer screen)
• [x] Store this as profile

Record Area (step3)

• [ ] — Display Capture
• [ ] make sure that you see the full screen inside OBS preview
• [ ] — Window Capture
• [ ] Adjust Red Box , so that you can see only the video
• [ ] must adjust output size again —> very complicated

Scene

• [x] Each scene should contain everything needed for recording a video or doing a stream
• [x] you have only 1 scene active during recording/streaming
• [x] if you have 2 scenes for example, during recording you change the scene, the whole screen will change based on what is included in the scene
• [x] Display Capture, Audio input/output are the basic ones, you can add an image, camera, random text etc.
• [x] to add source to a scene, click on the plus (+) button in “Source” box on bottom left side
• [x] —- Questions
• [x] why should I use scenes? – there is no reason to use 2 scenes, because only one scene can be active
• [x] is it for mixing videos from 2 sources? – This is not possible to mix videos from 2 sources, because the sources are working with priorities
• [x] example: you have 2 sources for display capture for each monitor, OBS will work only with the one which is on the top of the sources
• [x] So, first source has the biggest prio and will be shown anyway in the scene

Profiles (regular)

• [x] I can define profiles for each output/base screen size
• [x] One for 3200, one for 1920
• [x] Profiles for different sizes
• [x] — Export profile
• [x] Click Profile –> Export –> Choose where to save (G:\drive\prgs\Program Settings\Profile)
• [x] Export useful if settings are more complicated
