## Setup Guide

### OBS Studio WebSocket Control Support

Added OBS Studio as an option in the YanusLIVE HyperDeck window's 'Device' combo box.&#x20;

When connecting to OBS Studio, the following automatic settings are applied.

* OBS Video Settings to USB Camera settings (Frame Rate, Resolution Width/Height).&#x20;
* Select USB Camera mode and OBS Virtual Camera device, then start Actor Mode.&#x20;

Note: The Start Virtual Camera button in OBS needs to be pressed manually.

### Local recording via OBS

* Set the local path to OBS Output > Recording Tab > Recording Path when connecting or when settings change.
* Set the recording filename format via OBS Advanced > Recording > Filename Formatting.

Note: When OBS Output > Output Mode is set to Advanced, recording can be paused.

### 1. YanusLIVE Settings for OBS Studio

In YanusLIVE, no special settings are required to connect with OBS Studio. The connection can be made with the default settings. OBS Studio must be installed on the same PC as YanusLIVE, and the port and password settings in OBS must match.

* IP Address
* Port Number
* Password

### 2. OBS Studio Settings for Connecting with YanusLIVE

* In the OBS menu, go to **Tools** → **"WebSocket Server Setting"**, and check **"Enable WebSocket server"**.

Note. When using "Enable Authentication," enter the same password in  "**YanusLIVE > Settings**".

* To connect with YanusLIVE, you need to run "**Start Virtual Camera**" in OBS Studio. Then, in the Actor window of YanusLIVE, set the **Actor Mode** to **USB Camera** and choose **OBS Virtual Camera** as the **Capture Device**. Once connected, press the play button to start.

### 3. OBS Studio Setting

#### OBS Studio "Video" Setting

* In the OBS Studio menu **settings**, go to the "**Video"** section and change the "**Base Resolution"** and "**Output (Scaled) Resolution"** to **1280 x 720**. \
  (This setting can affect the performance of the PC, so it is recommended to set it to 720p resolution.)
* Also, adjust the "**Common FPS Values"** to a value between 30 or 60, according to the supported frame rate of the camera. \
  (If 60 frames are supported and the PC performance is good, select 60 frames.)

#### OBS Studio "Output" Setting

* In the OBS Studio menu settings, the **"Output Mode"** in the **"Output"** section must be changed to **"Advanced"**. This will allow you to set the **"Recording Path"**, which will automatically be matched to the path set in YanusLIVE.
* Additionally, in the **Output** section, go to the **Recording** tab under **Recording Settings** and select either **MP4** or **MOV** as the recording format. Also, choose a hardware encoder such as **NVIDIA NVENC H.264** under the **Video Encoder** option.
