User Guide

PC

  • It is recommended to use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software).
  • OBS is a free and open-source video recorder and live stream software, and can be used in common operating systems.
  • We will provide Windows and macOS packages in Resource.
  • Next, we take the Windows system as an example:
    1. Download and install OBS.
    2. Open OBS and click "+" in the sources box.

Raspberry Pi

  • Due to issues such as the performance and software compatibility of the Raspberry Pi, the frame rate captured may be slightly lower than about 23fps.
  • Here, we still use OBS for testing, the test hardware is Raspberry Pi 4B, and the test system is 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-armhf-full.

Install Library

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install obs-studio -y

OBS Running and Setting

  1. Run OSB:
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libGL.so.1 MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3 obs
    • PS1: if you directly run OSB, it may fail as it is not compatible, hence, you need to run it with the above commands.
    • PS2: The OBS window pops up when running the above commands, some SSH logins may not be compatible or the frame rate is very low, it is recommended to use a terminal in the desktop or VNC.
  2. Click "+ " in the Sources box.

  7. Now the device is not working (the status indicator does not flash), the OSB in the Raspberry Pi does not have an activation button, and you need to close the OSB window at this time.

  8. Reopen the OSB window and find that the device status indicator has begun to flash and the HDMI picture has been collected.

  9. At this time, the HDMI capture frame rate is relatively low, which is caused by the encoding, select the corresponding source and click "Properties".
