When I went to utoob I saw various resolutions listed, and HD was the best it had,
and then went down to 320P over several intermediate resolutions.
Money is finite. A church can’t print money and has other competing demands to spend it on.
For sure you do not NEED 4k or 8K for streaming.
even if you paid for the gear and bandwidth utoob will limit what it sends to HD
and my own wifi will limit it to 720p, 360p if the speed is being throttled by ATT for other users on their net.
we will (if they get a second one) switch between them using OBS
but they will have another external coder for the video from a second camera,
as that would be better than trying to make yet more changes since they already use one now.
I did my first stream with OBS as well, but quickly changed that for better software or hardware encoders
a good device is the Atem Mini Pro,
only downside is it has only HDMI inputs, no SDI
Yea the ATEM Mini series packs a lot punch for it’s size and cost, the software
control opens up some more features but it falls into the prosumer/low level pro
video switcher.
One catch with them is the input resolution has to be the same on all inputs.
The inputs will not individually scale.
starting with a clean slate and ground zero it might be cheaper/better
but we have installed gear and operators who know how to use that stuff
so one more modestly priced converter is our best option now IF we ever do get another camera

Keep in mind the ATEM Mini can be had for $300 while it has a few limitations it does
a LOT for a $300 piece of video equipment and …it can also be used as an audio interface that will take line level audio.
Speaking of audio and to get this back on an Allen Heath audio topic.
You’ve mentioned many times about the video side of things only having a mic level
input.
Why don’t you use the USB B multitrack output to directly feed the computer that is running OBS.
OBS will see the Qu32 as a sound card audio input device, set tracks 1 & 2 on the USB
output to be your live stream mix.
You will need to apply some delay in the audio input settings on OBS to sync the audio
with video.
I will tell the video team about this.
BUT Horses water drinking etc.
They could chip with pocket change and buy one!
…Or they could do with the USB connection with
a USB B to A cable that I’m sure you have an extra one
laying around or just use a 1/4 to 1/4 instrument cable
from the Alt Out to the 1/4 inch line input on the
interface.
Set the ALT OUT to the live stream mix quick simple and free!
You guys do everything the hard way at your church!
but it does get done
and we have to do it with the volounteers we have
they did an aamazing job to get us from nothing to where we are now with livestreaming
and the main video operator is just going into HS
alt out is not a good choice
the livestream needs some extra mikes not used live as the organ is already loud acoustically
and we tweak the balance of everything specifically for their use

You do realize the ALT OUT can be routed to ANY mix out of the mixer.
If I’m not mistaken your using MIX 7 8 for live stream.
Go to the IO routing menu, under the surface tab, ALT OUT select the mix you want the
ALT OUT to be.
The ALT OUT level knob under the headphone level knob.
