Is there a way to record a computer screen with another computer?

[TeslaStormX]

I just wanted to know if there was a way to record a computer with obs studio, from a different computer. With one computer gaming only and the other recording/editing. I was thinking of building another computer just to record, because I already have one thats doing both at once.

Yes, using a capture card.

I think that's what a capture card is for

Would an elgato hd60 capture card work?

use remote control over lan

Wouldn't the recording be laggy?

not if u use a 60fps high quality remote control ( which can be done over lan easily )

u can also change in the windows registery to use 60fps in remote control u can use windows remote control for that also so

Would I do this with like an ethernet cable and find a application to remote control

yeh or use windows built in remote control, and edit registery to 60fps x)

 

but there are plenty of tools out there for that, just look for a high quality one with 60fps support or so

 

quality compromises are usually due to the connection but if u use ur LAN IP on the remote control it should run at lan speeds and that shouldnt give any quality degradation i use in home streaming and such aswell, no latency ... wifi adds a MINI latency over lan but thats still good enough for in home streaming

 

all u need is somthing to capture the main rig with and a remote access tool basicly ( u choose wihchever u prefer )

Is there like a link I can use, because I might need it for later.

also why build a second pc , if u can use a capturecard with a encoder on it o,o they arent too expensive at 1080p 30fps, and if u want 60fps its still doable

Is there a guide on how to do this online?

ye plenty of guides, just look for software that fits ur needs first

 

just look into high quality remote control or 60fps remote control ect dont forget if u connect to use ur lan ip rather then ur public ip,  192.168.0.x for example , coz u probably cnat connect to urself using ur public ip

I heard it was much better since you can use separate computers to do one thing and use less power. Plus I want to render some videos and play at the same time, so one computer for rendering and another for gaming.
