Newer audio mixers are all digital now too. Pizza box in a rack, with
100% remote app control. Then you could just remote in and reload the
backup config. You can also do things like limit what channels users
can adjust.

This is for small outfits and some bigger. Purpose is to eliminate the
volunteers and the committees from managing these things and getting
clicky. Same mosque "IT" keeps changing settings in the mixer and
distorting the audio, then complains that the audio is distorted. They
were given specific "DO NOT TOUCH" sliders... wanna guess which
sliders they touch first?
The streaming issues are historically "facebook is down" call. Its
always because the nerd dicked with something on the streaming and
facebook is in fact up. I want to just be able to set things up,
download a config, and when facebook is down remote in, restore and
tell them to update their key.
Im a lazy fuck, I dont want to troubleshoot, I want to restore, send
an hour invoice, and go back to what i was doing, which is fuckall,
thats what they interrupt

We have a church that uses OBS to stream to Facebook. I know
nothing of the specifics. As is typical of smaller churches, this
is handled by a volunteer committee. But I see in an email thread
about bandwidth and video resolution, one of the volunteers
mentions OBS as doing the encoding.
I can tell you that if they are trying to push a higher video
resolution than their upstream bandwidth can support, the symptoms
are a little different than someone watching streaming TV. It
seems to cause dropped video and/or audio frames. People watching
the stream will complain about little glitches rather than
buffering, and they may not realize they just need to ask for some
additional upstream. At this point if you are dealing with
volunteer DIYers, anything can happen.
Sounds like Steve is dealing with bigger churches that may have
more formal IT people.

Capture card is a PCI or USB box that inputs the HDMI, RCA, whatever
OBS is a Windows program that takes that content and throws it to
various streaming platforms (Youtube, Twitch, etc). OBS does the
encoding.

Nerds:
I have needs to set up some dedicated live streams, mostly
churches. Im told OBS is the bees knees. I dont want to build
machines, manage OS, any of that nonsense. Im having a hard
time identifying if there are dedicated devices for this, like
appliance level. I see listed capture cards, but If im
understanding these arent the streaming appliance, just the
interface to it?
One location is a mosque with multiple audio/video streams, so
I assume this needs some encoding beef. They stream to
multiple platforms/
Im not an audio/video guy, so I dont know anything, I
dont mind supporting hardware as long as I dont have to learn
the other side of it to nerd degree, and I have no interest in
a cobblefucked solution for something i give exactly zero
shits about
