High frame rate streaming requires a high powered device, such as the BoxCaster Pro, with increased CPU performance and higher bitrates. Attempting to stream at 60fps from an underpowered device is likely to result in a poor quality stream. This article provides a list of devices and system configurations that support high frame rate (up to 60fps) streaming.
BoxCast supports high frame rate (60fps) streaming when enabled on your account. If it is not enabled for your account, book a meeting with your customer success manager, or email us to have it added.

OBS does not have recommended system requirements for a high frame rate. We would recommend that you have at least equivalent specifications to those listed above for Wirecast and vMix.
To set up high frame rate in OBS you want to navigate to Settings > Video > Common FPS Values. Select your desired high frame rate 48, 59.94 or 60 > Click Apply. See a step-by-step list of instructions for connecting OBS to BoxCast.
