Aeion Cut + OBS Studio
OBS Studio is the dominant free streaming production tool — used by millions of streamers, podcasters, small broadcasters. Aeion Cut integrates via NDI input (for a high-quality network video bridge) or RTMP push (for stream simulcast) — standard protocols, no custom Aeion plugin required inside OBS. Common pattern: produce + switch scenes live in OBS, distribute via Aeion's multi-destination encoding, capture highlights + analytics in Aeion. Best-of-both for streamers needing OBS's flexibility + Aeion's cloud distribution.

FAQ
Both work with Aeion (Streamlabs is OBS-based). OBS Studio is open-source + plugin-friendly; Streamlabs adds features + subscription tier. Aeion connects to either.
Scene switching happens inside OBS itself — Aeion doesn't remote-control OBS scenes. Use OBS's own scene collections, hotkeys, or plugins for automated switching; Aeion picks up whatever OBS sends downstream via RTMP or NDI.
Aeion's standard RTMP path adds ~2-3 sec to standard RTMP latency. Low-latency HLS available (6-10 sec total). WebRTC path (<1 sec) for interactive scenarios but limited destinations.
Works seamlessly. OBS Browser Sources point to Aeion-hosted overlays (alerts, scoreboards, chat) and render in OBS as if they were local sources.
vMix has stronger broadcast features (NDI, ISO recording); XSplit similar to OBS. Aeion integrates with both via RTMP + NDI; WebSocket support varies by tool.
Both work. OBS local recording captures master; Aeion cloud captures from the stream. For backup + redundancy, both. For best quality master, OBS local.
Yes. OBS captures the game; pushes to Aeion via RTMP. Aeion treats as a normal stream source.
No. Aeion has no remote-control channel into OBS; audio mixing (mute, volume, per-source control) happens inside OBS before the feed reaches Aeion.
No. OBS plugins work normally; Aeion only adds external integration (RTMP, NDI). Coexists with all plugins.
Yes. OBS's RTMP output + NDI both work on Linux. NDI requires NewTek's Linux installer.
