This video demonstrates how to set up and configure a two-PC setup with OBS for FPS and TPS game commentary and gameplay analysis (advice) streams, allowing you to directly add annotations such as circles and arrows to the stream screen while maintaining the main PC's performance (game load).
By using a "dual source" method where the secondary PC handles the processing, a sophisticated streaming environment is achieved that minimizes the game load on the main PC.
Main contents of the video:
The mechanism of "dual source" to reduce the load on the main PC
OBS settings for both the main and secondary PCs
How to smoothly reflect annotations (circles and arrows) on the screen
Settings to avoid audio delay
Configuration without mini-jack cables or ChatLink Pro, considering noise issues and cable usage
The setup is simplified as much as possible, and cables are minimized.
There's no NDI or plugins involved, and I disliked the noise from connecting with mini-jack cables. ChatLink Pro also caused significant noise in my environment. Therefore, I use wireless headphones (not Bluetooth). There's one thing I'm still wondering about, or rather, something I'm hoping to find a solution for: the game sound coming from both headphones and speakers simultaneously. Currently, I'm manually turning down the volume knob on the speakers. I'd like to find a way to fix this.
[Operational Tip]
Restarting OBS will temporarily close the full-screen projector output. Before starting a stream, don't forget to perform the ritual of "right-click → Start Full-Screen Projector"!
My keyboard has a volume control. Adjusting this will increase the game volume, but please note that it will also increase the volume during the live stream. (You can adjust it using the OBS volume control on your secondary PC.)
The next challenge is figuring out which setup is easier to use for Discord. I haven't touched it at all this time.
I recommend using a Bluetooth headset with "aptX Adaptive."

[Advanced: PlayStation Wiring Diagram]
The PlayStation connection is a theoretical configuration (no actual hardware testing has been performed).
When connecting to a capture board, don't forget to disable "HDCP (copy protection)" in the PlayStation console settings beforehand. Failure to do so will cause the screen to go black.
