Welcome to our discussion on optimizing the use of splitcam software across different platforms like Chaturbate and Cam4. Many of us have encountered issues with achieving a good image quality simultaneously on multiple sites. This thread explores various solutions and shares experiences to help improve streaming performance.
- Initial difficulties include low frame rates on Chaturbate when streaming in 720p, and distorted images on Cam4 when adjusting resolution settings.
- Bandwidth was initially suspected to be the issue, though further discussion suggests it's more about how splitcam manages resolution and frame rate across platforms.
- One key insight is that splitcam outputs one resolution at a time, affecting the stream's appearance on different sites. Adjusting settings in splitcam and on each platform individually can help manage this.
- A suggestion involves setting both the camera and splitcam to a standard definition resolution of 640x480 at 15 frames per second to improve consistency across sites.
- Hardware limitations, such as camera capabilities and computer specifications (like RAM and processor power), were also discussed as potential factors affecting streaming quality.
- Technical advice on adjusting the settings directly on the Logitech QuickCam to possibly circumvent some issues encountered with resolution and frame rates was shared.
- Success was eventually achieved by setting splitcam to 1280x720 and adjusting the resolution on Chaturbate to 854x460, which was well-received by viewers on both platforms.
- There's ongoing debate about whether upgrading to a different camera model, such as the Logitech c920, would offer significant improvements in quality and compatibility across streaming sites.
