Q & A

Why did Nate decide to help Shokas with his streaming setup?

Shokas reached out to Nate for help setting up a new streaming setup from scratch in his new house in Madrid. Although Nate doesn't normally accept these types of requests, he decided to help Shokas as he thought it would be an interesting and fun project.

What are the benefits of having a dual PC streaming setup?

A dual PC setup allows one PC to focus solely on gaming performance, while the other handles the stream encoding and recording. This prevents gaming performance drops during streaming and provides ability to record locally at high bitrates for later editing.

What graphics cards are used in the dual PC streaming setup?

The streaming PC uses an RTX 4090 to handle encoding the stream to Twitch and recording gameplay in high quality 4K. The gaming PC uses another RTX 4090 for maximum gaming performance.

Why was liquid cooling used in the PCs?

Liquid cooling was used to efficiently remove heat from the compact dual PC setup. It allows moving heat to the large side radiators instead of the crowded center area. This prevents the GPUs from overheating.

What monitors are used in the streaming setup?

Three 27-inch 1440p OLED monitors are used for gaming and streaming. An additional 4K monitor is used overhead for monitoring OBS and editing.

Why were Sony Alpha cameras chosen?

Sony Alpha cameras were chosen for their combination of light weight, auto focus capabilities, and familiarity for Shokas. This allows smooth operation while moving around.

How was lighting handled to avoid a studio look?

Ceiling-mounted remote control lights were installed to provide soft 3-point lighting from above. This gives a professional but natural look.

What microphones are used in the setup?

Lav micpacks allow wireless movement. A shotgun mic is used in the main scene for better dynamics but requires stationary use.

How does the streaming PC capture cameras and the gaming PC?

The streaming PC uses a Cam Link Pro to capture 4 cameras via HDMI. A separate capture card acquires the gaming PC feed.

What challenges had to be overcome in designing the setup?

Challenges included fitting high-end gear in a normal home, adequate cooling, movable cameras without a studio look, and accommodating Shokas' specific requests and preferences.
