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.

OBS Studio "Advanced" Setting

• In the OBS Studio menu settings under the "Advanced" section, the "Filename Formatting" for recording is automatically synchronized with the recording name option in YanusLIVE.

4. Automatically configure settings and start with a single click of the "Connect" button.

• When you select OBS Studio from the device menu and press the Connect button, the HyperDeck mode switches to OBS Studio mode, and the interface changes accordingly.

• Double-click on the video file to switch to play mode, and use the Live option button for one-click switch to Camera mode.

• Set the path and filename, then start recording. When paused, the indicator blinks yellow.

• The pause button during recording is enabled only if the NVIDIA encoder is selected under the Video Encoder in the Output settings.
