STREAM LAYOUT

Once you have all your camera and mic settings conquered, your next step is making the presentation of your cameras as appealing looking as possible. To the right you'll see various layouts I've used over the years, including a shot or two of using a single camera to capture both the playfield and the score. (Great for a low budget rig)

I also have supplied my current layout for you to use to help you get going asap! All you have to do is add your own logo, and throw some notifications over it!

The Layout is HERE.

"CHain of command" webcam bug

When working with webcams, fine-tuning your white balance/gain/exposure is what sets an "ok" looking stream apart from an "amazing" looking stream. This can be a little frustrating when you first plug in all your cameras and try to color correct. Sometimes the camera you're trying to adjust is not the camera being adjusted. The way around the "Chain of command" bug I like to call it is as such.



First, plug in all 3 of your webcams, and open your streaming software.

Create a layout that allows you to see all 3 camera feeds at one time.

Open the settings on any of the cameras, and start to move the "saturation" setting around.

(Or any setting that allows you to see a drastic change in the camera.)

Whichever camera is visibly changing, unplug that camera and take note that it is the "King"

Repeat that process and take note of the next camera changing. Unplug and note that it's the "Queen"

Now, with the last camera still plugged in, go ahead and color correct that camera to your liking.

Next, Plug in the "Queen" and color correct that.

Finally, plug in the "King" and color correct that camera as well.

That's the work-around for the "Chain of command" bug. (Until Logitech updates it's software)

There is a piece of old javascript that let's you manipulate multiples of the same make/model webcam, that I used for years.

Here is the original thread pointing to version 2 (That I used). This saved me big time once I started adding more webcams!

It looks like there is an update to the software, but I only endorse the version 2, have not used version 3 so use at your own risk.
