Best Dual PC Streaming Set Up With Elgato 4K60 Pro Mk 2! - P1xelPerfect

[@P1xelPerfect]

EDIT: Capture card MUST go in your streaming pc! Sorry I didn’t say this in the video, it didn’t even cross my mind! haha See? Easy peasy.

[@MarvelousDream]

Absolute legend. Thank you so much. Question: for the edid or edd yours is set to “merged” and mine defaulted “internal” should I change that? Also, idk if you have another video to discuss like how you use the line for your audio and stuff.

[@P1xelPerfect]

I think I have it set to merged currently, I’d have to look. If you look at my 1 mic 2 pc streaming video I talk about how my specific audio is routed as opposed to the video

[@edgarmiranda4353]

I need some help please

[@JordanKPaul]

welp.... I wish I came down here before I made my purchases. I was attempting to setup a intel NUc as my streaming PC. I installed the 4k60 pro into the gaming PC... not gonna lie mostly because I thought that's what you meant in the video. guess I'll try to return the NUC and get a lower end full desktop PC. that was a full 2 days full of stress wondering why it wasn't working properly

[@squiddstv]

@@JordanKPaul the whole thing is ridiculous

[@MawsYT]

I did what you said for audio but I am still not hearing anything through my headphones on my streaming pc. The desktop audio meter is not going up and down either. EDIT: Figured it out. You have to click the settings button next to the 4k60 Pro, press properties, then down at the bottom you should see "Audio Output Mode" then in the dropdown, select "output desktop audio (directsound)" then hit done.

Hey I joined the Discord to ask some questions but I'm asking here too (we never know :D) So when I'm listening to something on my gaming pc, I hear it twice. (So I tried to mute the sound on my streaming pc and it actually works, I don't hear the sound coming from my gaming pc twice anymore) And when I tried to record on my streaming pc, I can hear sounds from the gaming pc, but no sounds of desktop my mic works) is recorded... So on the vod, we can only hear my voice...

[@salamanda6189]

Wait a min, did u put the elgato pro in your streaming pc or gaming pc?

[@Private-tsu]

@1:30 , for me my monitor is on the right and the elgato is on the left. My main monitor is always greyed out. When I play MW2, in game settings the only monitor it lets me use is the elgato because for some reason the elgato is forcing control over my setup. How do I fix this? Spent several days. my main monitor is 1440p 240 and elgato i prefer 1440p but im not sure if thats whats causing issues. WHen i make elgato 1080p, it does the same issue so ive been doing research like crazy with no solutions.

[@LOMIN]

instead of cloning display - can I use an hdmi splitter? I heard that clone display adds input lag.

[@PIxelTreeTV]

When i use this setup i can't change my audio to my headset on the streaming pc it just reverts back to the elgato cap card instantly, then seems to have a slight delay on the audio i'm hearing.

[@fmoney]

I am so confused. i have an alienware laptop and a thinkcentre i installed the 4k60 pro on. the think centre has one display port, and in and in and out with the elgato.... my laptop only has one hdmi out port.

[@P1xelPerfect]

The elgato has to be in the streaming rig, which in this case I assume is your laptop. If you are gaming on your laptop that’s easy, just follow the steps. But if you are streaming from the laptop this set up doesn’t work.

[@chief6243]

Here's a fix for a problem i was having just disconnect second monitor from elgato and you dont have issues with different monitor refresh rates and resolutions. And you free up that monitor for OBS and your streaming browser. Hope it helps anyone else having that problem

I have a 1440p 240hz monitor I just upgraded to. Running a 2 pc setup. I’m using a elgato HD60 S and no matter what it switches my gaming pc to play games in 1080 (I know cause the 60s) will this 4k60 pro mk2 allow me to stream 1080 to twitch but won’t change my gaming resolution to 1080 on my gaming pc?

[@kingdionee]

Did you figure it out?

[@P1xelPerfect]

He ended up coming into discord if I’m remembering correctly, but no the 4k60 maxes out at 1080p240, 1440p144, and 4k60. I’m currently doing 1440p144 with a duplicated output and retain my refresh rate.

[@ChrisFu]

The solutions I’ve read is just to go NDI. Idk how well it’ll work… but my stream pc is a 10700k should be enough to push it. Will be trying it out sometime this week.

does this give the least input delay, or does passthrough already have least input delay

Nice video. But what is really interesseting is: Connect soundinterface with mic and headphone to the gaming pc, so I can play and listen without streaming PC on. If streaming then send the alerts soounds from the streaming PC to the gaming PC back, also discord/teamspeak. That way make more sense but 99,9% didnt show this. 😞

After like 6 hours of researching I came across your video man and I followed every step and I finally have audio on my streaming pc. Before I came here I have ordered an extra hdmi 2.0 cable because I saw another video saying to connect one hdmi going from your gaming pc to the capture card IN slot and the other hdmi cable from your gaming monitor to the capture card OUT slot. What you think I should do with the extra hdmi cable should I still plug it in or no?

[@P1xelPerfect]

Nah, just leave it out. As long as you are getting your audio in obs and getting the frames you want then just keep it as a back up. Never hurts to have extra cables!

[@P1xelPerfect]

Nope you’ll be fine this is what I do. Make sure the 4k elgato software is set to 1440p144 or 60, and in obs you can actually leave the resolution at 1080p and it will work fine.

how come i do everything and it’s all setup up properly and in NVCP (nvidia control panel) it says my elgato is on 240 hz but in advanced display settings in windows it’ll be on either 60-144hz and when i put that on 240hz also the elgato doesn’t pick the signal up bc if that’s on 60-144 wouldn’t it make the main monitor down scale to those numbers instead of it being at 240. plus both monitors are 1080p my stream pc monitor is a 75hz and the gaming pc monitor is a 240 but i’m someone that has the exact setup and works fine

[@lweedaa7297]

Hi, just saw your video. Before I finish ordering all my streaming equipement, I wonder if there is any gameplay audio delay/lag (say for competitive) doing it this way ? Since it has to go trough elgato and streaming PC which might be running a lot of stuff and in my case not that powerful. Thanks for the help ! Cheers

[@P1xelPerfect]

So there’s about a 15-20ms delay with the audio monitoring. It’s almost not noticeable, but if you are doing audio sync games like clone hero/guitar hero etc then you can’t do this method. I have since changed my dual pc method after making this video but it’s a bit more pricey

[@witzeyy]

Does the capture card have to be in the pc to work like can you use it like a external one ?

[@P1xelPerfect]

You can! However as far as I know the only card that supports 144 and higher pass through from elgato are the 4k60 mk2s

What if you play a game and it using the res of the elgato and not ur monitor? I have a 1080p elgato and 1440p monitor but the game I play reads my capture card as my monitor and keeps downscaling my monitor in game to 1080p… anyone know how to fix this for a 2 pc setup please help.

[@highjamage]

I know this is an old video so I'm not likely to get a response buuut, do you know if this would would work the same way with the HD60 s+? I got that and a streaming laptop and have spent 8 hours trying to set it up, I need help for sure

[@P1xelPerfect]

So hd60s+ does not support high pass through refreshrate meaning you will be capped at 60fps.

So basically your mic and headphones need to be connected to your streaming pc instead of your gaming pc and you need to have discord as well as obs and the 4k capture utility all on the streaming pc. Your gaming pc is literally just for games, keyboard and mouse, and a drawing tablet if you have one to draw on or to play osu! or whatever else. Someone please let me know if I'm incorrect.

[@yenu]

If my main gaming monitor that I want to duplicate is 1440p270hz, will it affect anything? From my experience, as the 4k60 Pro Mk.2 only supports up to 1080p240hz, will it affect my main monitor's refresh rate? I heard that if you duplicate your main monitor to another one of lower resolution, it will lower the main monitor's refresh rate too.

[@gdsseany]
