  • obs-studio

    OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording (by Sean-Der)

  • rfcs

    RFCs for changes to OBS Studio (and supporting toolset) (by obsproject)

  • Simulcast builds of OBS are available. Simulcast is when a client generates multiple encodes of a video. Testers and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Design Discussion: https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/55

    Use it against your favorite WHIP ingest. If you don't have one check out https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box. It is a reference implementation of a WHIP/WHEP server.

    I hope/believe the impact of this will be much greater then WebRTC. This could benefit all broadcast workflows.

    * Higher Quality Videos - Decoding and re-encoding causes quality loss. Generating all the renditions from the source video is going to be a big improvement for viewers.

    * Lower Latency - Removing the additional encoding/decoding allows video to be delivered faster.

    * Reduce complexity - With Simulcast setting up a streaming server becomes dramatically easier. It is much easier for an individual to afford and manage a single broadcast server. RTMP -> Transcode -> HLS gets complicated and expensive quickly.
