This week we are installing eSports classrooms in three of the area schools. Pretty cool setups featuring the Lenovo Legion gaming rigs. I am also setting up the audio, for the system cause well it's my thing. The audio comes out of the Commentator / Streaming PC via the HDMI feed over to a half rack that houses a 2 channel JBL commercial amp and a Furman line conditioner to snip out any interference (hum) you might get from lights etc.
In the rack the HDMI hits a KanexPro Audio decoupler module and is routed to the amp and split to the left and right channels and then continues to a Kramer HDMI splitter via a fiber optic HDMI cable. From there it passes to two 75 inch Samsung observer screens for audience viewing. Since this is a smaller room there are only 4 ceiling mount JBL powered speakers that sit in the drop ceiling in place of the 2x2 tiles.
Tested it out via a Bluetooth connection from my phone to the amp and streamed some Foo Fighters out to adjust the bass and treble levels and I gotta say it sounds pretty damned good.
Of course they are using OBS over the network to capture and pump out the video of the matches since it's free and allows you to set up views for each PC stream as well as team views and save all of it to storage or pump it directly to Twitch.
Once everything is in place I will take some pics and post them. There is a lot more involved in this stuff that meets the eye and kinda makes me want to go ahead and set up all my stuff in order to capture my audio and video in the studio area where I play and start posting some of it to YouTube. Maybe I will do this once I get these damned kidney stones worked out. Who knows.
