About XSplit Broadcaster

XSplit Broadcaster is a live streaming and screen recording solution that helps gaming and esports event organizers to capture screens from multiple external applications, such as Zoom, Teams, and Discord. It allows employees to create custom transitions, add multiple animations, and broadcast effects across scenes.

XSplit Broadcaster enables team members to utilize the spit mode to preview scenes, switch scenes, and adjust audio levels across multiple scenes. The media slideshow functionality allows employees to add multiple images and videos on the BRB screens to highlight sponsors and other supporters. With the source masking module, staff members can change the shape of any camera or media source from within the unified interface.

XSplit Broadcaster comes with an application programming interface (API), which lets organizations integrate the platform with several third-party solutions. Staff members can also utilize the gamepad visualizer, whiteboard, audio mixer, and replay plugins, to optimize overall live streaming operations. Pricing is available on request and support is extended via live chat, documentation, community forum, and other online measures.

Pros:

I love how easy to use it is, and that it can easily detect all my devices quickly! I love the detail in scene editing it allows me. The preview editor is clutch to make changes on the fly. Also their liecesing deals are very affordable.

Cons:

The only con I can think of is that more gear should be made to work with xsplit over any other braodcasting service.

Good and Easy to Use Software, But Not Without Competition

Xsplit is a good and functional piece of software. If there are features that Xsplit has that other competitors lack, then it will make up for its price-tag through those features.

Pros:

Xsplit is an easy to use, professional-grade streaming program. Being a paid piece of software, it benefits from professional support and documentation, better stability and compatibility compared to free solutions, and more features. Some hardware, like my Elgato Game Capture HD, functioned better in XSplit compared to another program, OBS. In OBS, the Game Capture HD refused to sync the video and audio signals, with no way to properly correct the desync. XSplit has never had a problem with any of my hardware, while OBS is often less agreeable, but workable. Xsplit easily integrates with streaming platforms, such as YouTube Live and Twitch. This allows you to log in through XSplit to your account to create a direct link between the two instead of needing to work with stream keys and stream URLs. It also features integrated media and editing controls. Media can easily be added to XSplit without adding another source. Clips in XSplit can also be edited together in-program.

Cons:

XSplit is a paid piece of software, compared to free solutions such as GeForce Experience (with an NVIDIA Card), OBS Studio, and Streamlabs OBS. While XSplit, especially early in the streaming rush, was more capable than original OBS, other solutions are catching up in terms of feature sets, especially for those who exclusively stream.

The best live-streaming encoder available.

I own an independent online news website and decided to commence broadcasting a 30 minute program each day. I therefore needed an encoder (at the time I had no idea what I was looking at) and settled on XSplit after trialling several other alternatives including Wirecast 14. XSplit is not only considerably cheaper, but infinitely better.

Functionality

Pros:

XSplit makes professional live-streaming easy and simple. I found the software very simple to set up and connect with my RMTP server and have the option to also broadcast to YouTube, Twitch, Facebook etc. The software is lightweight and stable - absolutely necessary for professional streaming. The learning curve takes all of 5 minutes and basic functionality is built in.

Cons:

I wish there was more functionality or templates available - but this could also be a disadvantage as it would remove the simplicity of the software.

Good buddy to stream on a good/medium bandwidth.

Ease of use

Value for money

Functionality

Pros:

I used Xsplit for one of film series projects online, i had one open to public last year but since COVID-19 the times really changed and i had to broadcast the films via streaming. The good thing about Xsplit is the plugin market (it only has a few, but they are really functional). In comparison to another streaming softwares, the Xsplit learning curve is really short and fast. You can watch a few tutorials on the Internet and start streaming without any problems. It has a (limited) but free version, and you can stream at least at 30fps, and that's a good thing. Capture devices and webcam can be delayed and works great on a good/medium bandwidth.

Cons:

The cons on Xsplit are related to the price and the resources that the software take. I don't have a really powerful PC and the software lately started to lag and take up some important amount of CPU. The license price for commercial use is really expensive, and the free version doesn't offer the complete package, is really limited.

Not good enough to make me switch over honestly.

Functionality

Pros:

I've been using the GeForce experience to stream for some time now, and the massive feature set of XSplit seemed like a good next step. There's so much you can do with scenes and transitions even on a free level that is appealing.

Cons:

Ultimately, XSplit caused too much slowdown on my machine over GeForce for me to switch. This is a big issue for me, and people who watch streams, that I think it's unfortunate. You can rightfully say my PC isn't quite up to snuff, but the current program I use performs just fine, I would expect XSplit to be on par? Maybe the additional features would be worth it one day, but for now not quite.

Pros:

A very competent piece of streaming software. Easy to Use Relatively Cheap Decent Customer Service Support Streaming made simple!

Cons:

So with so many awesome points, what could be negative about it? Well, although the program is cheap - there is simply better options out there. More specifically OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) - OBS is open-source, meaning FREE, and is so robust and easy to use that it's hard to justify spending money on another broadcasting software. OBS does take a little more tinkering around.
