Do the powered USB docks give you multiple additional USB busses? That is, if the dock has 4 inputs, does that equal 4 additional busses?

I'm livestreaming with three cameras using Elgato CamLink 4K capture cards but I had to hack it a little differently than Luria here. I'm on a M1 Mac Mini and although I have an OWC Thunderbolt Dock (thunderbolt4) my computer won't accept the capture card through it. They say it's because the Mini has Thunderbolt 3 in its ports. I have to connect two capture cards directly to the Mac Mini's USB-A ports. And hey - they are then on the same bus as Luria showed here, and saying that Elgato states we might get some issues. No problem here, both cards work flawlessly. Now the third camera is connected through an Atem Mini Pro HDMI switcher which I had in my studio anyway, otherwise I might have bought the CalDigit Th3 dock. So I connect the third camera into the Atem and then from the Atem I run its USB-C cable to the port on the OWC Thunderbolt Dock. Then everything works great. I'm using Ecamm software, an amazing app.

FWIW, I connected 4 Elgato Camlink 4K capture devices to my Linux PC. The key ingredient was RocketU 1144D card, which is 4 USB controller card. Virtually all 4 port USB cards are just 1 USB controller. The RocketU 1144D card is more expensive cause it's really 4 controllers so each port has its own USB3 bandwidth. Looks like 1144F may be a newer version, but the one I have is 1144D.

GREAT Info. There's also another great way of doing it via USB (skipping Elgato all together and using ATEM or AV Matrix or Roland devices). I've found that running an AV Matrix device (though not 4K), produces a cleaner image especially when all of the cams are on the same frame rate of 60FPS. It also uses less resources than stacking multiple elgato capture cards onto different USB controllers.

@LiveStreamingPros Жыл бұрын

Yep, if you are ok with the trade offs, that's another way to go, for sure!

@DJYoshiVideos Жыл бұрын

@@LiveStreamingPros it took me a while to get over the trade off of changing scenes easily by doing cards and having dedicated scenes for each capture card, but it's been awesome to not have to worry about if a bus is going to act up or when those times that the gremlins like throttling the system for no reason which affects my once over-abundance of capture cards and USB devices.

What if you have multiple "Display adapters" listed in Windows' Device Manager.. how can you force which one to use? I'm trying to (mira)cast to a Microsoft 4K Stick.. but it says : Wireless Display Supported: No (Graphics Driver: No, Wi-Fi Driver: Yes) So I'd to switch from the "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M" driver to the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.. or to a USB based video adapter/driver that supports Miracast.

@LiveStreamingPros 5 ай бұрын

The capture cards are not going to show up as display adapter, they're going to show up as input devices or cameras depending on the software that you're using. Display adapters are really your monitors or other things that are using your graphics card.

Ok so I already figured out all of this but I literally don't know how to record using both through the application. Like both are available and working, but it wants me to choose the video input from EITHER my camera (cam link) OR my screen (HD60 S+). I've been searching for an answer but everyone is only talking about getting it set up.
