For that kind of bandwidth (3 x 1080p) you will need to use a PCI express card. Something like the Magewell Pro Capture Card. Just make sure your PC has a PCI-e slot remaining and the power supply can handle the load. Plus you need a decent enough CPU and GPU to be streaming like this. If you were planning on doing this over USB3, it probably won't work.

The cheapest solution that I can recommend is a Magewell quad HDMI capture card. This requires a desktop with a free PCI-e slot. If you don't have a desktop, then you'll need one USB capture card per input. Again, Magewell has you covered.

HDMI splitters and HDMI capture devices?

​

I have had good luck with https://www.amazon.com/Magewell-HDMI-Video-Capture-Dongle/dp/B00I16VQOY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3RQPBD8L5NYNI&keywords=usb+hdmi+capture&qid=1556715213&s=gateway&sprefix=usb+hdmi+cap%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-5

The same company also makes this for caputreing 4 hdmi at the same time

There are some network hdmi capture devices but I have not used any so I cant say which are good examples.

I would suggest XSplit over OBS for event broadcasting, its much better. You could just get a trial for the event if you aren't ready to pay for the service for awhile.

Bigger question is what kind of computer are you streaming from for the event? Knowing that would help to figure out what kind of capture card you should get.

My suggestion without knowing your full setup would be just getting a Magewell Quad Capture HDMI and then get the BlackMagic SDI to HDMI convertors for the two SDI connections.

> Or will all cameras with an HDMI-out, when paired with the Blackmagic device you linked to, be capable of live-streaming?

No, not all devices with an HDMI output are created equal. On some cameras you can't remove the video overlay information (i.e. the battery level, focus markets, etc.) Some cameras don't output HD, or they don't output 16:9, or they don't output anything unless you're playing back a video you recordered earler.

It's a bit of a crapshoot around the lower end of the market, you can only really reliably know for sure a camera can do it if you're buying 'pro' equipment. The HF-R80 is the cheapest camera I know of that can do a non-stop clean HDMI stream and I've frequently seen it used in permanent AV installations like for teleconferencing, art pieces, etc.

> If I have THREE cameras that I'd like to stream from, is there a similar black magic device, but for three inputs? Or would I need three separate shuttles?

If you were going the shuttle route, you'd need three separate shuttles, one for each input; however you'll also be limited by USB bandwidth as the total bandwidth of all USB devices is shared between all devices on the system. I wouldn't expect three shuttles to work simultaneously.

Otherwise you'd need something like a Magewel Pro capture Quad card stuck in a computer with a spare PCI-E slot.

Recording three 1080p streams is also going to have quite high hardware requirements on the part of the PC with the card in. You'll need a fast enough processor to handle encoding, and you'll need to be recording onto hard drives with enough speed to keep up - SSDs would be ideal, 7200 or 10,000 RPM HDDs in RAID would likely be the minimum.

You're basically building a broadcast-grade PC based switcher at that point - it may well work out cheaper to buy three laptops and an intensity for each and using them all independently!

Just throwing it out there as it might work for you - Have you considered looking at 1080p all-in-one CCTV systems? For a few hundred dollars you could get one that you just need to plug a screen into that could record multiple cameras simultaneously and continiously...

/u/JelloSlapper - it depends on your budget, but I recommend an [$89.99CDN Riiai YK930 two input HDMI capture card] (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MYTG65P/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20) instead of the [$219.95CDN single input Elgato HD60 S] (https://www.amazon.ca/Elgato-Game-Capture-HD60-technology/dp/B01DRWCOGA//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20) or a really [expensive $1165CDN quad capture card] (https://www.amazon.ca/Magewell-XI-400-DE-HDMI-ProCapture-Quad-HDMI/dp/B0178DV064//ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=hybrcamerevo-20).

With the YK930, you can get the HDMI output from both your X70 and your GH5 into the computer.

From there, you can mix the two cameras with vMix, as suggested by /u/frozen_flame77.

Hope this is helpful and good luck with setting up your stream!

Use XSplit and either use something like a Magewell capture card that can take up to 4 HDMI inputs at once (for an all-in-one-box setup) or use the master stream PC running XSplit Broadcaster and set up NDI sources from the other PC's that will be running XSplit Gamecaster. Gamecaster takes the Audio/ Game Video/Webcam from the gaming PC's and turns them into NDI streams that you can then arrange in a scene (or multiple scenes) in Broadcaster.
