SIGNAL PATH PLANNING

Signal Path Planner

Use this when you need the shortest honest answer to what path should I use? It gives a practical chain for a small set of real jobs instead of making you translate generic transport advice into your own workflow.

This is a decision tool, not a simulator. It is here to stop obvious bad workflow choices early.

What Are You Trying To Do?

Pick the actual job, not the transport. The planner will tell you the sane starting path.

These scenarios are intentionally opinionated. If you are between two jobs, choose the one you would most regret getting wrong.

This only nudges the recommendation when simplicity and reliability would realistically lead to different choices.

Recommended Path

Camera → capture device → OBS or vMix

For a nearby ingest job, a real capture path is usually the fastest sane answer.
