Livestream Studio works best when all video input sources match the same video format. However, with certain sources such as laptops and webcams, it may not be possible to match them all together. This is where the built-in any-to-any converter comes in.
Go to the Inputs tab and select gearwheel corresponding to the source you need to convert. Then select the Convert tab on the left side of the interface.
In most cases, Livestream Studio will automatically convert your source. Otherwise, choose your input source's format from the drop-down menu.
Once the correct format is selected, the converter will turn on and you will see your video source.
Using the converter will reduce the quality of your video signal and increase your CPU usage, so only use it when necessary.
Bringing a Laptop into Livestream Studio
When bringing in a laptop, you will almost certainly use the converter. Many laptops come with an HDMI output port that can directly connect to a Blackmagic capture device via an HDMI cable.
