Setup OBS

If your video card is Nvidia, then the following settings will work for you. If you are using a laptop with Intel/Nvidia mix, then you will need to connect an external monitor in order to grab picture from Nvidia video card.

Later I reproduce setting descriptions from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/guides/broadcasting-guide/

  • Type: Standard.
  • Recording Path: This is the directory where the videos will be saved. Make sure the hard drive you select has enough space!
  • Recording Format: FLV; or MKV if you use multiple audio tracks.
  • Audio Track: Leave it at 1 for default; you can add more audio tracks if you are using more sources.
  • Encoder: NVIDIA NVENC H.264 (new).
  • Rate Control: We recommend CQP, although VBR will also produce good results.
    • CQ Level (CQ): 15 (you can decrease the number to get higher quality).
    • Bitrate and Max Bitrate (VBR): 40,000 Bitrate; 60,000 Max bitrate. You can increase these to 100,000 and 200,000 (respectively) for higher quality.
  • Keyframe Interval: 0 or 2.
  • Preset: Select Quality. You can change this to Max-Quality to enable 2-pass encoding; this will provide you a minor quality increase but may cause problems in limited situations in maxed out GPUs.
  • Profile: Set to High.
  • Look-ahead: Checked.
  • Psycho Visual Tuning: Checked.
  • GPU: 0. If you have 2 GPUs in your system, you can select which one is used to encode.
  • Max B-Frames: Set to 4. If you uncheck the Look-ahead option, reduce this to 2 B-Frames.

Remote OBS as Video Source

In another words: How to stream from one OBS to another?

May be not possible in these words, but very close solution:

And here's a real question without answer :(

Next approach would be RTMP?
