How to Stream/Record your rounds for upload to Twitch tv

The simplest and easiest way to do this is to stream your rounds live to Twitch. This has the added benefit of letting other players watch your rounds live, as well as providing a backup recording of your round that can be watched later by anyone wishing to verify your round

Step 1

Setup a Twitch Account at http://www.twitch.tv/

Twitch Account Settings

1. Once you have created your account navigate to the Twitch Homepage if not already there by clicking the Twitch logo in the top left of the screen
2. On the Homepage in the top right of the page you should see your Dashboard. Click on it and select "Creator Dashboard".
3. In the "Creator Dashboard" menu down the left select "Settings" then "Stream". Under "VOD Settings" check the box next to "Store past broadcasts".
4. This will ensure that when you stream your rounds they are automatically saved to your Twitch channel for review if no one watches your round live.
5. Remember how to get to your settings page as you will need it later in this guide to retrieve your Stream Key.

Step 2

Download and install the OBS streaming software from https://obsproject.com/download

Step 3

OBS Basic Settings -

OBS MUST BE RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY

1. Start the OBS software by using Right Click, then Run as Administrator. (Alternatively edit the shortcut properties to do this every time).

2. Start the Perfect Golf software.

3. Once the Perfect Golf software is at the Main Menu press ALT - TAB to minimize Perfect Golf and return to the OBS Software

4. Right Click on the Source box, select Add, and Select Game Capture

5. The Enter Name Box will appear, enter the name Perfect Golf and Click OK

6. The Game Capture Window will appear. Use the drop down box to select Perfect Golf and Click OK

7. You will now return to the main menu screen and see Perfect Golf is in your Sources Box. Put a check mark in the box next to Perfect Golf to select it as your source.

Step 4
Stream/Recording settings in the OBS software.

On the main menu click on "File" then Settings. Make the following changes to each of the sections. If any setting is not covered please leave it as the default setting and do not change it.

Stream
For "Service" select "Twitch"

For "Server" leave as "Auto (Recommended)".

For "Stream Key", log in to your Twitch Account. On the Homepage in the top right of the page you should see your Dashboard. Click on it and select "Creator Dashboard". In the "Creator Dashboard" menu down the left select "Settings" then "Stream". At the top you will see your "Primary Stream key". Click on "Copy" and paste this Key into the "Stream Key" box in the OBS software, then click on "Connect Account". You will then be asked to login to your Twitch account to confirm.

Video
Base (Canvas) Resolution - Should be the same as the resolution the Perfect Golf software is running at.
Output (Scaled) Resolution - Should be the same as the resolution the Perfect Golf software is running at.

Click on "Apply" and then OK.

You are now ready to Stream to Twitch and as we already setup at step 1, any stream will also automatically be saved to your channel so it can be viewed any time.

I agree you need to be a bit tech savvy to get this to work but it will come in handy for the up and coming PGLS Ryder Cup starting 1st September.
