Why is the FOSDEM video box with two video inputs and fazantix better than a laptop with OBS?

  • probably cheaper than laptop + capture card + audio interface
  • allows the lecturer to bring their own laptop. Quite important if working with software developers doing live demos. If you want that, you need two capture cards. The >=2026 box has those builtin.
  • Faster setup per room:
    • Set up the box config for all boxes.
    • Drop a box into each room and wire it up with fewer wires than with laptop
    • Done.
  • (on its way to be) headless
  • multiple scenes rendering to multiple outputs
