-====== Codec load ======
-Broadcasting the desktop to a streaming service requires capturing the desktop, converting the video and transmitting it over the Internet.
-Suggested codec: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC|H.264]]
-==== Aims ====
-  - Don't spend too much on hardware (try low-end)
-  - 720p@25fps
-  - Render, convert and broadcast on a single device
-  - (1080p@60fps in the long run)
-===== Open Broadcast Software (OBS) =====
-  * Open source (on [[https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio|Github]])
-  * Probably requires compiling
-  * Twitch plays Pokémon uses it
-==== Reading ====
-  * [[https://obsproject.com/index|OBS: Homepage]]
-  * [[https://obsproject.com/estimator|OBS: Stream Settings Estimator]]
-  * [[http://techzany.com/2013/09/live-streaming-video-using-avconv-and-a-raspberry-pi/|Live Streaming Video using AVConv and the Raspberry Pi (from 2013)]]
-    * Uses some obsolete and basic commands but might be helpful for low-end device settings
-===== Tests with ffmpeg / avconv =====
-==== Codec ====
-  * Test H.264 configurations
-  * Look one that's fast on the CPU
-    * Some programs may support GPU
-  * In a second step mind the network usage
