What makes this particularly convenient is that you don’t have to do the same encode work twice like you have to in OBS: You can also use the tee psuedo-muxer in FFmpeg to send the same encode to 2 places, like a stream to Twitch and a local file.

I would suggest giving FFmpeg a try with a command / parameters like this: Though at that point your limitation is more likely to be your CPU, or even software which starts to hiccup as multiple instances of recordings inadvertently hit the same threads and such.

Thus, in theory the GP100 could do 6 encodes of 4K60 by itself, which would be cool to see. Using my patched GTX 1080 I am capable of encoding up to 4 streams of 4K60 using FFmpeg, and the GP100 has 3 NVENC encoding chips while the GTX 1080 has 2 (same architecture).
#Obs what is ffmpeg 1080p
You can avoid high 3D GPU usage by using FFmpeg to stream and record instead of OBS. Additionally, you would only need that first Quadro with this method as the GP100 is perfectly capable of encoding 6 streams of 1080p (along with basically any other Nvidia card released in the last 5 years assuming you're using the patch), which seemed to be your final output resolution despite the 4K cameras. You can bypass Nvidia’s artificial encode limit via this patch, not sure if that’s against your guys’ partnership with them or something but it’s super easy to apply and works perfectly. Love the video, never seen anyone try to capture more than 3 4k sources on one PC. I understand that you already have a working solution and probably don’t want to change it, but here’s a few things I thought of while watching the video:

Assuming it’s the latter, I’m really not sure where else to put this. Alternatively you can build FFmpeg with all its dependencies yourself and even enjoy some additional features that can't be distributed normally.Typically there is a topic posted for every video in the “LTT Official” portion of the forum, but for this video specifically there was never a post / discussion thread created… Not sure if this was by design because they didn’t want everyone and their mom telling them how they think they could do it better, or if they just forgot to make a thread for it.
#Obs what is ffmpeg update
OBS Studio links against the system-wide FFmpeg binaries, so simply update those to the latest version. While Linux is usually the complicated one, in this case its the easiest. Now launch OBS Studio and enjoy the updated FFmpeg with all the "optional" components and features!.

dll files into the directory you opened in step 2, and replace all matching files.

While this allows the application to work without affecting existing users, it is just a wall power users want to remove. This guide is for OBS Studio 27.0.x to 27.1.x, which ships with a very old ( patched) version of FFmpeg.
