I read in some forums (including here) that you cannot use 2 GPUs at the same time in streaming. I'm just hoping for that slim chance that an integrated graphics and a GPU might work at the same time. Here is my supposed plan:
In our church we have 2 projector screens placed front of the congregation, separated by the altar (shown on FIGURE 1), and we are also planning to buy a desktop computer (specs shown on FIGURE 2) for use on livestreaming and recoding the Mass and for display (songs, graphics, etc.) inside the church. Our PC will have three monitors, all plugged into the GPU (1 for main desktop; 1 for the multiview; and 1 for the livestream preview, which might split as well if our Parish plans to buy HDTVs for the crowd overflow outside); whilst the 2 projectors will connect to the integrated graphics, which we are planning to merge via Collage Mode/Combined Display so that by having 2 displays working as one, we have an easier control on the projector screens whenever we want to display something that looks seamless or mirrored or have them display different images with the advantage of controlling them at once instead of opening 2 instances of OBS Studio for both displays (shown on FIGURE 3).
With the given case, we will have to open 2 instances of OBS Studio - 1 for the livestream (1st instance), and 1 for the church display (2nd instance) (I am actually doing this method with my laptop, which luckily, has 2 monitor outs but are running perhaps on the same graphics card). Can I operate and record the livestreamed instance from the 1st instance (wherein the GPU is used) and the parish view from the 2nd (with the integrated graphics uesd)? Will they work well and not cause errors on the system? And also, is it possible for the 2nd instance to display the livestream preview from the 1st instance, and if I open any program for playing back video (such as another OBS Studio or VLC), can it be window-captured to the 2 OBS Studio instances if we want to show the video to both inside the church and on livestream?
Thank you in advance for answering.
FIGURE 1, that's how the screens are positioned (the one on the right side has a tarp attached though)
FIGURE 2, this is what we want to achieve with the projector screens
FIGURE 3, I got this from a computer store, they sell the computer as a bundle. Also, is an i5-10400 better than AMD RYZEN 5 3600 (w/o integrated graphics) in terms of speed and performance or otherwise?
