The caveat here is that the video feed will be delayed by a significant amount (I’ve seen as high as 2600ms) so your mileage may vary. The video feed generated by the streaming server can then be used as a video feed within OBS by adding a new “VLC Video Source”. The advantage of using a docker container to run this is that it will allow you to easily get a streaming server up and running with the least effort. This gets even more simple when you introduce nginx-rtmp, a pre-configured nginx server image with the RTMP plugin you can run it in a docker container configuration free.

On macOS however, you can only use the Game Capture HD software designed for the HD60 and cannot use the video feed from the HD60 directly in OBS.There is an alternate solution for this limitation however (if you have the processing power): setup an nginx server running the Real-Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) plugin. On Windows you can add a new “Video Capture Device” source and use the Elgato HD60 capture card directly without any extra processing involve.

If you’ve used OBS before you know how hard it can be to get system-level support for devices like capture cards and video inputs. I’m going to show you how to push your HD60 video feed to an RTMP server and consume it with OBS. OBS can be used to broadcast everything from simple streams to complex scene-driven. This open software is cross-platform and available on macOS, Linux, and Windows operating systems. If you’re someone who is interested in the concept of “streaming” online, you’ve likely crossed paths with, or heard of, an application called Open Broadcaster Software (OBS for short).
