Streaming with XSplit Broadcaster

Streaming more IoC, with the Pally and DK's.

I just signed up for a licensed account, 2 years for 39$

The Game Source setting is WORTH IT. I'm streaming at 1080p with a decent bitrate, and getting 40+ fps. With the regular screen regions I was lucky to break 25 fps with that resolution. I hold steady at over 50fps when I'm doing local recording.

By the way, streaming right now - http://www.justin.tv/tehtsuo

I am currently trying to setup streaming. I have everyone setup now and it is working, but I am trying to figure something out.

I have two monitors

• 24" Samgsung used for Main + 4 Slaves along the bottom
• 19" used for Vent, website, TV, etc

Now, when I add a screen region to to broadcast, I just want to broadcast the top portion of my main screen.
However, I cannot figure out how to do this.

When I try, it will either

1. broadcast my entire 1920x1200 screen
2. or broadcast just one of the application

Number one works, but I'd rather not broadcast my slaves. In scenario two, it is exactly what I want, but it ties the screen region to that WoW instance. So when I switch windows to different slaves, it simply broadcasts the minimized version of that screen.


Ideally, I just want to broadcast the 1920x1000 portion of my main screen. Is this even possible?

Ok, I figured this one out.

You can set the main monitor to broadcast all 1920x1200. Once this is setup, you can right click the region then go to position and crop out what you want.

You can go to one of your "Scenes".
And click on "Add".

Select "Add Screen Region".
Left click and hold (in the top left corner), and drag down to the bottom right corner, then release the left mouse button.

Once you have your screen region, you can right click on it to edit it.
Including the X/Y, of its top left corner.
And its total width and height.

I've got the full 1920x1080 option and the 1920x1040, for my Left Monitor.
Essentially, the whole monitor or just the Warcraft window.

Right monitor is another scene.
As is "Both Monitors".

And then three "Cover up the screen" scenes.
For when I'm entering my account/password, or otherwise want to be private.

One item that really helped me is setting the xsplit server from auto to a server that is closer to me.

Tools -> General Settings -> Channels -> Edit

Change location to something closer to you if you still getting lag or choppy frames. I was losing 100s of frames and now I get occasionally 1 or 2.

I have my settings at Quality 10, VBV 4000 (both) and 32 Khz 16bit stereo at 48000 bitrate. My connection is 35/35 so I can go extreme.
