Creating a large recording apparatus.
Creating a large recording apparatus.
Greetings everyone.
My friends and I are seeking the optimal method for capturing three streams of 4K at 60 frames per second from our game footage, all at the same time. We possess a substantial, essentially unrestricted, budget – this is intended for cinematic quality results akin to professional cameras.
Currently, we utilize computer-based recording with OBS on SSDs, operating in 2K resolution utilizing NVIDIA GeForce RTX 1070 Ti graphics cards. Initially, I considered constructing a system incorporating three dedicated recording devices similar to those offered by Elgato (4K capture cards), and capturing the footage onto the fastest available storage drives – such as NVMe or Optane – to achieve lossless bitrate recording.
However, these cards appear to demand significant power for simultaneous recording, prompting me to explore alternative approaches. Specifically, I am investigating whether direct recording from our “gameplay” computers would be a viable option. What level of power consumption would be required to consistently deliver robust 4K recordings? Do you have any suggestions or insights regarding how we might accomplish this objective? What configuration would you recommend for a task such as this?
Thank you all, and I hope my explanation has been clear despite the limitations of my English.
P.S. Here’s an initial setup outline:

Many players record their gameplay and share it on platforms like YouTube and others.
I’m not certain about “film” specifically, aside from the fact that watching a movie in a theatre is intended to conclude with an ending.
Moving this discussion to the PC Gaming forum.
I believe that a high-resolution format, coupled with a non-lossy compression method, would be effective for cinematic purposes. Without question, 4K resolution alongside a lossless bitrate presents a viable option. Simultaneously, I am exploring methods for timecode synchronization of our video recordings.
