Best Obs Studio Settings For Recording 720P

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a content creator, who isn't these days. I stream on twitch and wanted a second monitor to keep an eye on my OBS software while gaming. This monitor works great. It's great size to have OBS open with chat and audio monitoring also at a good size on the screen. Features I love: Being able to turn the monitors orientation without taking it off the stand. Ease of assembly, no screws involved everything snaps together securely and quickly. The stand itself: its got a small form factor that takes up very little desk surface area. Height adjustment: smooth gliding without feeling like I'm going to break the monitor. I did have to play with the video settings a little to get it dialed in to my preference but it was easy to navigate the settings on the monitor. The only complaint I have is that there are no integrated speakers but not a big deal overall.

Best mic for the price, in my opinion. Use it for conversations/OBS on a rode PSA1 Arm, and as a backup mic for my neumann TLM 103. Shockingly, if you EQ it, it can get pretty close to the neumann TLM 103.

Best recording media next to cards!!

Easy to use and works great. Using this to stream from my GH4 to OBS Studio. Great, simple streaming solution.

Just works. Plugged it into USB3, and the HDMI attached camera simply works everywhere I want to use it, like OBS Studio, Zoom, etc...

First i was a little skeptical of the magewell hdmi adapter, but after a few months of use, it has performed quite well. It does get hot, so i unplug when not in use. The magewell worked well with the native streaming from Youtube and Facebook through the browsers and it also works well OBS studio. The Roland V-1HD is quite simple to use and our operators were able to get to speed with it pretty quickly. My only gripe with the switcher is that it is pretty intolerant of inputs that do not conform to the format it is expecting to receive. Once i found that out, i was able to correct that by ensuring all of my cameras were set to 1080 30P. That ended up forcing an upgrade on an older camera that wasnt able to output 1080 30P. The V-1HD was able to work with that cameras 540P or 1080I outputs, but it required a level of effort that our newer cameras didnt need. In end, we just upgraded the older camera. The V-1HD also has an audio mixer built, but i found the inputs seemed to auto adjust the signal levels despite having a manual adjustment on the side of the switcher. it could have been something within my set up as i had too use a xlr camera adapter to convert the 2 channel xlr input to 3.5MM stereo in order to connect to the Roland. While the audio was acceptable, i resolved this purchasing a Dante AVIO usb adapter and just routing sound independent of the switcher to OBS studio. i still use the native audio from the switcher as a back up feed in OBS.

Works well with my OBS Studio. If you are using Vmix, don't forget to set the video format of the input to MJPG

USE: We run a couple of these cameras in our small (100 ppl) church. The cameras are running via USB (~50ft cable runs) with a USB splitter, and our congregation has been very pleased with the quality of the image for live-streaming. We pre-program scenes for each camera in OBS studio and use our presentation software to trigger MIDI signals which translate to key presses in OBS studio to control which scene/camera is shown, making it extremely operator-friendly. We installed the first of these cameras in 2020 for live-streaming services during the COVID shutdowns and it has worked great for more than a year. Because the automatic settings on the camera are perfect for the sanctuary environment and the pre-programming of our system is already set up, it takes less than 30 minutes to add in an additional camera to expand the system. As the title of this review says, the cameras work so well that we bought another. And we may continue to add more in the future as our church keeps growing.

Plugged it in and it works for OBS Studio streaming, no drivers needed. More importantly, it is working to give a quality 1080p image from a Nikon DSLR through a 50 foot HDMI cable. (A different HDMI capture device would not give a signal for this same combination.) 50 feet is pushing the limits for HDMI, so I'm happy not to need an HDMI extender.
