Alright you AV guys. I'm trying to run two cameras to two different games at the same time and display both of the feeds at the same time on split screen on a tv in the same room as the pins. Does any body know what hardware, software and cables would be required to do this? Assuming the feeds would be ran to a PC first which would be running some sort of software to split the feeds on a single screen and then the PCs display would be mirrroed the TV. Any help is appreciated!!

I would get one of these to put inbetween the games

Then I would get two Logitech C922s to film the playfields. Then two C920s to film the dmds (or use the C922s to capture playfield and dmd in one shot)

Use cameras clamps to attach them to the stand. Plug the cameras into your PC. Use a software like OBS to record. Then get an hdmi cable or a VGA cable (depending on your PC hardware) and hook into the tv.

Sweet. Thanks. So, Obs can split screen both feeds. Guess my pc has to have two inputs for each camera or how does that work???

They use USB ports so yeah you will need a port for each camera or get a USB switch box to split one USB port into multiple ports.

OBS is a streaming software but it can be used for your purposes as well. It's free and will let you show each game on camera side by side on the same screen/tv
