There are 4 slots, leaving us with two open PCIe x16 slots and a PCIe x1 slot. We’d need a cheap graphics card which will consume a PCIe x16 slot. While it includes attractive features, it does not support video connectors to take advantage of the embedded GPU for displaying video. The Asus – X99-M WS Micro ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard is one of the only Micro ATX boards available for this processor. The trouble comes in finding a good motherboard. In comparison, the Kaby Lake enthusiast Intel Core i7-7700K 4.20GHz gets a score of 12,174. The fastest E3 according to is the Intel Xeon E3-1275 v6 3.80GHz, which is a modern Kaby Lake processor with a score of 11,445. If we want to use Quick Sync, this leads us to a Xeon E3 line of processor. So, I explored using ECC RAM.ĮCC RAM means you must skip to Xeon processors. This is supposed to be a reliable system - a crash would cause an outage of our live video. Quick Sync is present in recent Core i7 and Xeon E3 processors with integrated graphics. Quick Sync appears to give better quality in a benchmark test. The system requirements for hardware encoding states we need a Intel Quick Sync CPU or a NVidia NVENC graphics card to offload H.264 processing.

Full ATX would be too large to be portable, so this removes a lot of motherboard options. The Cooler Master Silencio 352 was selected for its sound dampening material, low cost, clean interior, and dimensions that tuck nicely into a Pelican 1650. We’re looking for something like a Micro ATX form factor. This is not good for repeated abuse when setting up and tearing down 50 times a year. Magewell produces a similar device for SDI capture, but reviews state the SDI port is difficult to use being recessed into the case.

The nice UltraStudio SDI devices are discontinued.

This is a deal breaker for a quiet space.

This system has a loud whiny fan at 59 dB.

This is okay but it means the system will run hot.

Livestream’s All-in-One guide really pushes this system to its limit and it’s accepting 3 HD streams as configured with typical CPU load of 60%.

I was about to purchase this system along with some used Blackmagic UltraStudio SDI external capture cards however, I changed my mind due to a few troubling factors: It’s a good system with a Intel Core i7 6670HQ 2.60GHz producing a score of 9,682. The Skull Canyon NUC is used in Livestream’s All-in-One Kit and PTZOptics’ Producer Kits. They use Intel Core i7 processors of various generations. However, the PCs they produce are way out of our budget. Livestream produces HD switcher PCs as a turnkey system. I’m not going to consider parts which are not on this resource - the power of the tool for checking for compatibility issues is too valuable, especially with limited time. We’ll accomplish this build with the help of PCPartPicker which handles all of the compatibility issues between parts.

Ideally the Livestream USB hardware dongle would fit inside our computer’s case to avoid losing or damaging it.

The system must support USB 3.1 Gen 2 for a very specific external drive requirement.

The system must be quiet: it’s going to be used next to the seating area of the auditorium.

Our church needs to tear down all equipment every week.

The system must be portable and fit into one or more Pelican 1650 cases.The system should be affordable with a budget of $1,800 excluding the cost of Studio.The system requires a secondary NIC to receive video and audio from a separate laptop running ProPresenter.The system requires two PCIe x4 slots with at least one more for expansion to run HD-SDI video capture cards.The system must be powerful enough to run the CPU intensive Studio program with multiple video feeds.The system must run Windows because Studio requires it.This is an unusual system with many requirements unique to our application: There are many competitors in this space, I believe you get what you pay for here. Studio works well with a customized keyboard which is very nice. Studio’s new hardware acceleration means we can do multiple HD feeds on relatively cheap processors.

An update earlier this year allows for hardware accelerated H.264 encoding which makes this system usable on cheaper processors.

Livestream Studio is a proprietary live production video switcher which can accept multiple video inputs and screen capture video from a Mac over the network.

In 2017, I helped build a Windows PC to run Livestream Studio for my church. I’ll be sharing our 2019 rebuild in an upcoming post. A lot has changed since then! Our original PC was stolen from a storage facility and we rebuilt it. I originally wrote this post in late 2017.
