Hello everyone. I work for a small sports streaming company and would like some advice from the community. I broadcast for football, basketball, soccer, etc., and need a new system. The current stream computer is a 4790K with 64 gigs of RAM, and a GTX 970 all on a mini-atx ASUS motherboard. All of this is in a rather large and heavy ATX case.
The problem that keeps happening is the 4790k spikes into the 80%-95% total usage during broadcasts. As a result, the framerate dips substantially and it forces us to terminate some programs that could make the broadcast better. Moreover, the current computer is very heavy to lift and carry around to different locations.
As a solution, I have begun to look for a powerful laptop that can handle the stream. However, the company uses five SDI ports to display output from the cameras. I am having trouble finding a laptop that is a high spec and has the necessary amount of SDI ports to run the stream.
If there are any suggestions you guys have, it will be greatly appreciated. Please point out anything I may have overlooked or caught your eye. What's more, is if there are any capable laptops or small desktops that you know of that could possibly run a high-quality stream. Thank you for all who reads this and chat me if you have a possible replacement. Thank you and have a nice day.
