How to stream SRT from Pyxis 6K to OBS (no Streaming Decoder needed)
Is the Blackmagic Pyxis 6K locked into the Blackmagic ecosystem? Not anymore. In this technical deep dive, I show you how to stream SRT from the Blackmagic Pyxis 6K to any SRT listener, specifically OBS Studio, not only a Blackmagic Streaming Decoder.
We break down the manual configuration process, including a custom XML setup and a Bash script to make these changes permanent on your camera. I also perform a latency measurement and a live demo to show exactly how this setup works in a real-world broadcast environment.
What you will learn in this video:
Bypassing the Bridge: How to send SRT to OBS, VLC, or hardware decoders.
Custom XML Configuration: Setting up a "Custom" streaming destination.
Automation with AI: Using Google Gemini to generate the XML and Bash upload scripts.
Permanent Setup: How to use a Bash script to keep your settings after a reboot.
Latency Test: Real-world delay measurements for remote monitoring.
