Do I need PC/OBS/vMix or other softwares to broadcast XBox and PS games via ZowieBox?

Three streaming ways

1.ZowieBox alone

2.Zowiebox turns HDMI into NDI— OBS/vMix receives NDI & pushes it to Youtube

3.OBS/vMix turns video signal into full NDI—NDI bridge turns full NDI into NDI|HX3/HX2/HX—ZowieBox receives it and pushes to Youtube

If I want to use OBS, how to get ZowieBox working in the OBS?

First, open the NDI of ZowieBox. Second, install and run the NDI Tools APP. Then select the NDI|HX signal from ZowieBox as the Webcam Input. Last, use OBS to add a ‘Video Capture Device’ source and select ‘ZowieBox’. Or OBS pulls RTSP from it.
