Yeah, I also have a Canon 60D and wanted to purchase a 4K camera next. I thought the Panasonic Lumix FZ300 might be a good camera for the road/holidays as well. I was originally looking at purchasing a 4K camcorder and stumbled upon the FZ300 at 1/3 the price of the Sony camera I was looking at.

I'm still searching. haha...discovered that the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 has a better sensor and only a tiny bit more expensive. Looking at grabbing one of these for filming on the road.

You will most definitely hear back. Was hoping to have the camera in early December, Christmas at the latest.

Edit: spur of the moment decision this morning. Got a mega deal on a Panasonic VX870 4K camcorder. Paying half the price of the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 due to getting a factory refurbished model. I have a Canon 60D to cover the digital SLR filming side and went for the camcorder today mostly due to price and the added bonus of live streaming function built into this camera. I can demo it by filming my horrible playing skills on Ghostbusters Pro. Haha

Streaming Pinball at the Lake finals live today by 11am on http://twitch.tv/iepinball, and continuing coverage of Button BASH.

We're using a wireless HDMI setup on the finals games. Worked perfectly yesterday during qualifying, giving it another run today.

This is the point where it all falls apart but I started streaming a few weeks back. Just got my new internet set up. Streaming LOTR and Woz for the next week weeks back and forth then rotating amongst a myriad of games I have and some location stuff at aracde super awesome . Always open to pointers. Working on some more graphics. Animations. Etc. I want to run it like a 2 hr tv show. Try to have a purpose each episode and also to chat.

FYI, the ever popular Logitech C920 web cam that a lot of us streamers rely on is the Amazon deal of the day today (nov 20) - $50.

Streaming local tournaments and league play in Maine and other New England States. It's a mobile set up, so we've got some fun ideas and special events planned with friends and their home collections.

I didn't see it in the original post so I want to mention:

twitch.tv/pinball_LIVE

This guy has the most fantastic streaming setup I think I've seen. He streams a good variety of machines and runs direct audio from every game, so you get the full, intended experience from the sound designers. High def camera for the playfield I believe. He even frequently has a camera for the tilt bob. Beyond that, he regularly gets good games going and is very charismatic and interacts with the viewers well. One of my favorite streams for sure. One of the few I have notifications turned on for.

Edit: Weird, I honestly did a search before posting and it turned up nothing... but he was mentioned recently.

Oh well, I'm leaving this up!

LOL! Thanks for the shout out...! Yup -and- I'll sometimes stream "how-tos" on PBJ Sandwiches

I just started tinkering around with streaming over Thanksgiving. My Twitch.tv username is blueflannelpinball

Building my rig over the last few weeks and this came up in my search. WIFI in this part of the house isn't very strong, so I'm just going to run a cable to another room until I put Ethernet in the game room. Normally $30, ~$12 on sale for now.

Going to start streaming as part of the SDTM pinball team starting Wednesdays at 8 pm eastern. First official stream 8/30.

Twitch.tv/chuckwurt

Come hang out!

Hell yeahhhh!!!!

I wonder if pinball streaming is going to pick up as we head into the cooler months? Seems like there are only a regulars streaming and not a tremendous # of people watching.

Twitch is down at the moment. I plan to start at 8 pm eastern tonight as long as twitch lets me! Haha

I stream a lot of different stuff, but I usually play Pinball Arcade or my NASCAR machine at least once a week.

Haven't streamed in about a month, but finally ordered a new and more powerful computer that hopefully allows for a more fluid stream.

Also, have backups of several of earlier streams on our youtube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCANficHQgdmxJh7DXc9o9tg

Is this on YouTube now?

Anyone out here can help a bit with obs settings for a 3 or 4 camera set?

It is like I can't get consistent performance and its a bit frustrating.

2 or 3 c920s for player, score, and occasionally a flipper cam.

1 c922 for playfield cam.

I am on fiber optic internet with 23-25 upload speed, and this is my computer. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154494R

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try and just use 3 cams for now. Player, scores and PF

Set the dmd to something like 800x600 and 30 frames

Set the player to 800x600 around there and 20 frames

Set PF to 1270x720 and 60 frames.

Make sure the PF has plenty of light on it.

Basically the lower the res and the fps you set the dmd and player to that is not completely unwatchable, the better the chances the PF looks perfect at 60 fps.

This has been my experience with using all USB cams.

If jack helps you out, I'd love to hear his thoughts too.

Make sure the low light compensation on the playfield cam is turned off.

I wouldn't go above 720p / 60 fps. Maybe 3000-3500 kbps?

You can also bump the encoding quality down a notch for a performance boost.

Great info thank you!

So when you recommended using a powered hub to tommy, you don't think that will cause issues? When I've tried a powered hub I have to drop the res and fps on everything else a ton to be able to run 720 at 60 fps on my playfield, and really just get all three comeras to even show up.

Do you think that's my computer not being up to snuff, my use of two C922s, or what?

Also, anyone know in OBS when the message along the bottom saying overloading the encoder. What does that mean? Saw that a couple times tonight while streaming.

What issues specifically? Not sure I've seen this with mine.

Damn!! Mine does the blurry picture and I've always wondered about that.

I'm gonna check those drivers you mentioned. Maybe that will help me.

Thanks again for the help.

Thank you, I think I did have the right light or low light setting on at one point. What about my video output settings? Do I want to do anything with those? Thanks for all the help.
