The StressLevelZero Streaming Setup

[@jschlatt]

Always was interested about how you guys were able to stream with multiple computers. Thanks!

[@Jace700]

Hello Jschlatt

[@magma5267]

how do you even find jschlatt in a 5 year old video about VR Game Developers

[@milan7689]

And how exactly did you get here?

[@SnivTen]

Interesting.

[@Jhariah]

This setup is StressLevel9000

[@HoidsFlute]

I hope you guys have good security.

[@AlexSkokin]

+TheNerdsRage ...and if not I volunteer ;)

[@vixin3384]

lol haha!

[@GiancarloVasquezDIRuggiero]

Have a butt ton of money and you're good to go.

[@hydrokat143]

and a crew to manage all that

[@MattKC]

I know you guys have been super busy with game dev recently, but I can't wait until you have time to play games on stream again. Your gaming streams have been by far the most entertaining I've ever seen on Twitch!

[@Sphyxx]

i search for "simple" streaming setup but nope i find this :/

[@AmericanMan961]

fucking same.

[@SourishComb]

Spencer must be one of the smartest guys on the node team to be able to manage all of this. I want to see him join in on some LAN parties!

[@RhysClark97]

+Alfie Sargent he is working...all the time

[@dryued6874]

+Alfie Sargent "You must be fun at LAN parties."

[@1997jankuschef]

It is so good to see you guys alive and well! This vid makes me appreciate what you've been up to immensely. Plus, Spencer has a wicked role in your content output. Sweet stuff!

[@themclallen2454]

It's been awesome to see you guys grow from making fun shorts to this! way to go, I hope to be something like this one day.

[@thealambrix]

This is the BEST LAN / Livestream setup that I have ever seen! GOOD JOB, guys!!

[@kojoneas]

Good job Spenser ! And really nice of you, offering your help with streaming setups !!

[@tednystrom1322]

What kind of fire protection do you guys have in your Office

[@Natdaprat]

Wow, Spencer is the real MVP. It's nice to know what goes on behind the scenes and see all the talent. Keep it up guys.

[@calebv476]

I just want to say that what you guys are doing as game developers is exceptional. You have almost complete clarity and transparency with your game design, and it is something I wish larger companies had as well. Cheers.

[@jaradshaw800]

thumbs up for giving Spencer credit. You guys maybe the stars but without him you'd be lost

[@MP-th5cf]

electricity bill level 100

[@Dzurka]

My mind in blown watching this. Amazing setup guys

[@ProjectPrologue]

Could you do a video about the lighting you/node uses? I noticed the studio lamp at the door, the one attached to the ceiling which points at the couch but I would like to know how much of a difference it really makes, like for example actually show us what happens with the video quality when lamp(s) are turned off, how many you have and what made you decide to put them here and there (angles for example). It would make for a great video :) (Sam and Niko did a video where they explained what you can achieve with lighting and how important it is, but that's a bit more in-depth of the technical side)

[@TigerXtrm2]

I'd actually like to see the setup behind this. Because a room like that, with 13 high end PC running there, must rack up some serious heat and a serious electricity bill. Do you guys have a custom AC and do you draw like 'industrial' grade power?

[@CruzenTheTube]

The warehouse they are in is in the industrial district.

[@identitykennedy2471]

This blows my mind. Props to Spencer for being able to listen to 3 headphones at once!

[@uhavemooface]

This set up was probably so stress full to put together lol. This is just freaking amazing. I wish I had the money and house to set up something like this because I would do this in a heart beat.

[@MrLokilis]

insane setup, good on you for pulling this off

[@L3uX]

Why not a small mixer (didn't pick up if it was analog vs digital source separation) that can be switched via the 3 separate channels for sound referencing? Just coming from someone who does music production/artist, can imagine how 3 separate headphones would be super annoying/terrible especially having no master reference headphone sound to pick up weird inconsistencies, on top of hugee inconvenience. Any 'standard' sounding closed back Headphones (Sony MDR7506 super cheap) to simple small 4-channel analog mixer splitting into all sources would be super efficient, cheap, and provide easy work platform for future.

[@MaplerLeeTbeats]

That is a monster of a setup! You got a 3 second delay too? I think live TV has a setup like this, but they have like a giant room to control everything with monitors. You guys really build things from the ground up there. Keep it up!

[@redpill3448]

This setup is powerbill stress enhancing tough!

[@S0raJr]

Wow, that's a lot of work

[@game_blok]

Massive pc setup guys! Love it!

[@DKVR]

We love Origin and like $20k worth of PC's they gave us. I'd blow anyone that would get me this kind of hookup too.

[@mattisland]

Spencer is the man! - Gypsy

[@DerDosko]

Living the dream, nice! That kind of stream-VJ-job seems like stressful, but pretty enjoyable work.

[@gglovato]

i'd love to work with Spencer in SLZ offices, being an IT guy used to fixing everything SLZ looks like one of the coolest places to work!

[@pplification]

I had no idea they had an office stream! I'll definitely be watching later

[@Aftermathmike]

Living the dream bros!! love it!

[@hypersapien]

Good work, Spencer!

[@shiftyvideos3281]

How's the studio expansion going? I DEMAND MOAR UPDATES!

[@KnownNever]

I honestly want to work or just play with the Stress Level Zero team as the setups are unreal there from watching these videos

[@MouseBreathStudios]

Have you guys thought about inviting other twitch streamers for a huge LAN party stream? I know it would be hard to schedule something like that, but i think it would be very cool to watch!

[@TheMrMacintosh]

This is so insanely cool. Holy shit. It's literally a nerd's valhalla.

[@AlexCKnoll]

+Tim Van Aelst We are going to wind up creating willy wonka's factory... but for video games

[@GoldenTeeTV]

It seems you could eliminate the headphones with an audio splitter but without knowing your audio setup who knows. But the main reason why i'm commenting is that why would you use OBS at all when vMix can do all of it? Are you just separating mix and the live stream encode achieving you're artificial delay or are you doing it to save CPU or for some other reason? I get keeping them seprate but was just curious why use another computer and OBS when vMix could do your overlays and everything much more efficiently. awesomne setup i would love to chat some time.

[@Voorhees1973]

stress free? i got a head ache watching this. this blows my mind. nice set up.

[@TheCapitaineMax]

''We have 1 2 3 4 5... 13 of their PCs in the office right now.'' Boy, that escalated quickly...

[@MEATHEADBooYA]

Whats the cables you are using to extend to your screen's and keyboards. If using USB extension does that not add a delay? Also, where did you get your extension cables for USB.

[@nathanielfoo96]

Could Spencer do a in-depth on how he controls the broadcast?

[@SillyDillyDallie]

+Nathaniel Foo They kind of explain it in the vid but i'll try to help here... He's got the 3 headphones like he explained for sound, then the computer and camera setups are all linked over the internet to an ipad, so essentially he can be anywhere in the office and cameraswitch when he needs to show another angle. Otherwise it's just all fancy capture programs and layers in OBS I believe

[@ryolo132]

you guys should see the Furcast podcasting setup. That thing is CRAZY.

[@EposVox]

Holy balls

[@ZedChuva]

What is the power supply cost on that room alone? haha

[@PMass]

+Zed Chuva you don't even want to know

[@midnightClub543]

+Zed Chuva Quick math, given each computer uses lets say 800 watts, electricity costing 12 cents kWh, times 13 computers gives us 10,400 watts, lets add another 5,000 watts just in case there is AC and other pcs running. This will give us about $44/day or $1,330/month. So yea a lot of money to power those PC's.

[@midnightClub543]

***** Damn, what potato do u run. Mine is $735.84. 700 watts, 24/7. Worst case scenario. Probably more around $300/year.

[@Sir-Bane]

+midnightClub543 I'm from the UK and my bills max come to maybe £2000 which is $2818.20 a year... :P

[@Dexi]

This is so fucking cool I wish I did this for a living. I wish I was Spencer.

[@JoshEVideo]

Rip WiFi bandwidth

[@nickgoodman7839]

+JoshE Video Fiber!

[@JoshEVideo]

+Nick Goodman ha true

[@tjbbi]

I can almost guarantee they are not using WiFi on the PC setups.

[@PeachHackNetrunner]

How do you manage switching different vMix layouts and OBS layouts simultaneously? It looks like you have multiple different graphical overlays that OBS adds on top of the vMix capture, so the vMix capture has to match the OBS overlay at the same time.

[@charleshenderson4326]

Have y'all since figured out a way to consolidate the headphones?

[@TeaWithJeremy]

Like because of the picture-hanging scene at the end

[@knekolas]

I've been trying to stream on my Mac using OBS but I always seem to run into a few snags...any helpful links to possibly getting a quick and easy setup?

[@redshojin]

Which Blackmagic cards are you guys using? Have you tried the Intensity Pro 4k's? I've heard some bad things about them not working, but they may have been patched into usability by now.

[@Nitrometutorials]

:O The new office building! in use!

[@SillyDillyDallie]

+Nitrometutorials Not yet, this is just the setup they've had on the Node computers for a while. The new office space still needs walls and insulation. Soon though!

[@saeria7828]

you must be pretty happy when you have to do dust cleaning guys xDDD

[@peteroffline6616]

This is incredible

[@TricomRevolution]

your StressLevel might be ZERO but that set up broke the damn meter boys ... epic work @ProMacgyverMan

[@BrianAThomas]

So what does vMix offer over OBS' scenes? Want to switch from one player's game and their cam to another? Click their scene...

[@brandonjla]

+Brian A. Thomas This is much faster, and allows us to change and edit scenes live without it being seen on the stream.

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

+BrandonJLa doesn't Xsplit have the same feature?

[@Sir-Bane]

+BrandonJLa You're able to do that on OBS if you have more than one monitor anyway...

[@stuartwhite1900]

This is more of a E.P look at me and what I've got video rather than a Stream like a pro educational video like the title suggests . BraG FEST !!!

[@SimpleGunner]

i like this just because its insane.

[@Grimtass]

Simply amazing...

[@tophmedia]

Can I fly Spencer out here so he can build my setup cause dude this is so stressful just watching this oh my god.

[@jinzowastaken]

yo spencers a legend

[@neurotoksin]

What is the spec list for the PC's? Please! I would love to know what kind of hardware is running the videos!

[@kira-clyne]

how are you guys outputting audio from the PCs since you are sending 2 audio feeds (the headset and HDMI-to-SDI converter)

[@Osypenko5127]

OMG this is Streamers Paradise. I lost my chin when start watching this video.

[@JoeLX94]

Your sound setup isn't very efficient. Monitoring audio seams like a pain. You should check out Yogscast streaming setup. They use a proper Allen & Heath recording mixer to mix all the PC sound, mics and external VOIP audio with AUX channels to feed back into streamers headsets. Also through using BlackMagic videohub they have much better video signal routing and can input loads of PCs and BlackMagic cameras at a time. Cool setup though

[@Kronospace]

Are you just using software encoding for the stream, or are you using a dedicated hardware encoder like a teradek cube?

[@harry3life]

+backtomotionpictures I'd wager software encoding. They have a dedicated machine for mixing the stream parts together and sending it out. It should be powerfull enough to encode the entire feed in real-time.

[@jokerbox_official]

great video

[@gglovato]

what/how are you using to move the composited video from the vmix machine to the OBS streaming machine?,

[@andre171998]

So fuckin professional. Keep it up guys!

[@xravedogx]

This is insane. I'm kinda curious how much all of this costed.

[@Niscenti]

This looks amazing! However, that twitch overlay you have is horrid

[@Pitbuller49]

That setup is mental O.o

[@EventStreamTeam]

Which cameras are you guys using?

[@beastyrs2890]

they have more computers in that oddice then a computer factory

[@AlecMaierLife]

As a game developer, how can I get a motion control rig for development (headset, lasers, etc.)?

[@EvanWatterscache]

Quick question, what's your electricity bill like?

[@salatinofamily1]

Every time i watch a Node or BrandonJLA vid I end up thinking the same thing, "I want to work there" :)

[@EBKillerz]

If a thief broke into your office they would die of happiness. :D

[@directing101]

Would it be possible to get the specs on the streaming pcs please?

[@jrizz43]

Do you all just use headset mics? I don't see any mics on the desks

[@harbscantina]

What version Black Magic cards are you using?

[@christensen0606]

is the free consultation still available?

[@nandatou]

How big would the mushroomcloud be?

[@mbf6160]

Super dope setup wish the cable management was better tho

[@XiodeMusic]

How is that sword above the TV affixed? Magic juju?

[@rebel3353]

+XiodeMusic if you look up on the ceiling, you can see 2 black dots (mid blade and mid handle area), more than likely just fishing line or something of the like

[@LoneEditor]

Over the top in a good way

[@1019wc1019]

wearing 3 headphones is impractical. there must be a way to mix the audio back together even if it requires an external or extra card. sometimes i wear earbuds underneath the bigger over ear ones

[@newgameld2512]

How did you get the money to do all this?

[@SuperGamingMoo]

anyone know if its possible to grab incomming video from like skype (automatically) and send it to a seperate virtual webcam.. so 4 callers is 4 webcams?

[@SuperHikenix]

3:30 Didn't see that coming xD

[@SttravagaNZza]

How much money did you spend into that? Im not being negative, just curious; I currently have only one gaming/streaming pc and I cant see the day where I can stream propperly xD

[@KicknTheBoot]

Does anyone know what the first song is called?

[@macernotis]

Do the lines from the PCs to the desks cause any input-lag?

[@SCRNSH0T]

Probably not, cables are fast enough it won't matter

[@PMass]

+Maceclaw it does create some lag, but it is hardly noticeable

[@sciarcnado]

Spencer the fixer! (Can we fix this?) Spencer the fixer! (Yes we can!)

[@1019wc1019]

build vs buy: want to have as little problems as possible and you have the money then buy! but if you know someone who will help you build one or you know how to do it yourself then build! saves you money as you can get more specialized or cheaper hardware.

[@kkehoe5]

I think all those computers and equipment in that office cost more than my house.

[@RenkraniGaming]

i wanna know how to live stream on twitch

[@ShadowGamingXxx]

So much intelligence, effort and mastery is put into this. Why tf aren't you guys #1 KZbin's. Definantly deserve it. And at least they never changed unlike freddy.

[@ShadowGamingXxx]

Love you guys!!!! That setup is magnificent
