=== SOFTWARE OPERATIONS ===
 +
The success of the stream is dependent on various pieces of software that help run various features that benefit both the viewer and the host.
 +
 +
'''mIRC''' - perhaps the most intricate of all software used. The stream relies heavily on mIRC for its logging purposes of user chats, statistics, games, stream effects, sound effects and moderation. It is the longest-running software the stream has relied on, dating back to 2008 at the streams origins. It is consistently still being updated, though its use among modern day chat services are largely unsupported, we have created loopholes to keep this software relevant.
 +
 +
'''Discord''' - our primary chat and voice service which has replaced traditional IRC. We have incorporated nearly every facet of this program from chat room access to the co-hosting standards once controlled my Mumble.
 +
 +
'''Discord-to-IRC Bridge''' - Software developed by Foxtrot200, allows the connection of mIRC to the modern gaming text/image/voice program Discord server. Doing so allows for continued support of IRC-based clients to continue function as they originally had.
 +
 +
'''Restream Chat App''' - Software that relays all chats from various streaming platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, Dlive) to Discord, which in turn relays to IRC. All chats can be linked and logged purposefully.
 +
 +
'''StreamLabs''' - provides cloud service features of notifications including followers, hosts, donations, like, etc to our stream overlays, completely customized by the stream host.
 +
 +
'''NightBot''' - Cloud Software that adds moderation functionality to our YouTube channel(s).
 +
 +
'''StreamLabs Chat Bot''' - Two instances (YouTube/Twitch) to offer a way to forward Follow/Subscription text prompts to the Discord chat. Also allows for many command and moderation features for Twitch/YouTube (The TomBobBlender Show).
 +
 +
'''XSplit''' - Streaming software, provides execution of our custom overlays displaying four lines of chat, a clock, date and time stamp, badge rotation, Discord voice channel participants, game information, transitions and effects.
 +
 +
'''TextAloud''' - Text-to-Speech software that allows our stream bot, Banondorf, to have a voice (Acapela Graham22 UK English) which announces the local time every 15 minutes, the local city temperature, the stream game title along with its ESRB rating, stream quotes and other statistical information.

=== STREAM PC (MARCH 2016 - Present) ===
 
This is the third generation of PC's on The TomBobBlender Show. The current computer build is intended to function as a dual streaming and gaming PC. The parts were collected through recommendation from the community and completely assembled by the stream host. The video of the build can be found here. Though not many PC games are played on this particular show, the computer should have enough power to be able to keep up with the demands of streaming PC gaming well into the future. The build was completed on Wednesday, March 30th in just under four hours.

Here is a complete wiring diagram of the current stream setup. The setup allows all connected consoles to display all video through HDMI connection, ranging from 480i up to 1080p. Several upscaling devices are used to allow older consoles to connect to the updated display formats. The original aspect ratio is consistently retained through these unique converters to ensure their proper native viewing. The audio is extracted from the HDMI connections and is monitored through a separate analog mixer to allow more creative control. The audio is routed to the computer using the LINE IN audio port on the sound card. The microphone is connected through stereo analog XLR connections and is optimized to capture a realistic stereo image of the stream hosts environment. The sound it sent to the computer as a digital source through USB. The unique video connections allow access to the computer desktop on the same television via a separate HDMI channel while another source may be in use. This allows for quick toggling to make any necessary adjustments to the stream without having to disrupt the current game.

Ideally a third monitor would be practical for this purpose, perhaps in a future configuration update. Also recently added was the ability to simultaneously display composite video content onto a CRT, allowing for controller input lag-free gameplay as well as utilizing certain video game peripherals to work correctly, such as R.O.B. and the NES Zapper.

SOFTWARE OPERATIONS

The success of the stream is dependent on various pieces of software that help run various features that benefit both the viewer and the host.

mIRC - perhaps the most intricate of all software used. The stream relies heavily on mIRC for its logging purposes of user chats, statistics, games, stream effects, sound effects and moderation. It is the longest-running software the stream has relied on, dating back to 2008 at the streams origins. It is consistently still being updated, though its use among modern day chat services are largely unsupported, we have created loopholes to keep this software relevant.

Discord - our primary chat and voice service which has replaced traditional IRC. We have incorporated nearly every facet of this program from chat room access to the co-hosting standards once controlled my Mumble.

Discord-to-IRC Bridge - Software developed by Foxtrot200, allows the connection of mIRC to the modern gaming text/image/voice program Discord server. Doing so allows for continued support of IRC-based clients to continue function as they originally had.

Restream Chat App - Software that relays all chats from various streaming platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, Dlive) to Discord, which in turn relays to IRC. All chats can be linked and logged purposefully.

StreamLabs - provides cloud service features of notifications including followers, hosts, donations, like, etc to our stream overlays, completely customized by the stream host.

NightBot - Cloud Software that adds moderation functionality to our YouTube channel(s).

StreamLabs Chat Bot - Two instances (YouTube/Twitch) to offer a way to forward Follow/Subscription text prompts to the Discord chat. Also allows for many command and moderation features for Twitch/YouTube (The TomBobBlender Show).

XSplit - Streaming software, provides execution of our custom overlays displaying four lines of chat, a clock, date and time stamp, badge rotation, Discord voice channel participants, game information, transitions and effects.

TextAloud - Text-to-Speech software that allows our stream bot, Banondorf, to have a voice (Acapela Graham22 UK English) which announces the local time every 15 minutes, the local city temperature, the stream game title along with its ESRB rating, stream quotes and other statistical information.

STREAM PC (MARCH 2016 - Present)

This is the third generation of PC's on The TomBobBlender Show. The current computer build is intended to function as a dual streaming and gaming PC. The parts were collected through recommendation from the community and completely assembled by the stream host. The video of the build can be found here. Though not many PC games are played on this particular show, the computer should have enough power to be able to keep up with the demands of streaming PC gaming well into the future. The build was completed on Wednesday, March 30th in just under four hours.

AUDIO

The audio is carried over the HDMI connections into the television and the capture card. It is also extracted from the HDMI connections and is monitored through a separate analog mixer to allow more creative control. The audio is routed to the computer using the LINE IN audio port on the sound card. The microphone is connected through stereo analog XLR connections and is optimized to capture a realistic stereo image of the stream hosts environment. The sound is sent to the computer as a digital source through USB from the mixer. The audio output is attached to a four-panel output panel, allowing up to four separate audio devices to listen with independent volume control.
