Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K

The Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K (or as it was previously known - Web Presenter 4K) is the ultimate, compact HD and Ultra HD streaming solution that includes a professional hardware streaming engine for streaming up to 2160p60 directly to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and more!

In addition, you can stream to the internet using Ethernet or connect a 5G or 4G phone to use mobile data. The built in USB connections also work like a webcam, so you can connect a computer and use any video software. You even get a monitoring output with video, audio meters, trend graphs and more.

The compact form factor allows it to fit right into your broadcast setup, and it is compatible with optional rack shelfs in case you want to install it in a 1 RU rack. Its dual AC/DC redundant power input is handy in case you lose mains power and you can utilise the 4-pin XLR input for DC power.

The Streaming Encoder allows you to input any 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI video source up to UHD 4K. The program and USB Type-C outputs supports UHD 4K video. The unit will down-convert 4K video if you are streaming in HD. When streaming 4K, it will pass 4K video as well as upscale HD to 4K video.

A Vast Array of Live Streaming Options

You can stream H.264 video via RTMP streaming protocols to the internet via Ethernet or tether a 5G or 4G phone to use mobile data.

Streaming Status

There's a very-large ON AIR indicator on the top left of the monitor output, so it's always clear when you are online and streaming. Plus all your current streaming settings are displayed clearly.

Video Input Status

The SDI input technical details are displayed, such as video standard and ancillary data. The bit activity indicators let you see the quality and bit depth of video before H.264 encoding.

Audio Input Status

Audio is de-embedded from the SDI input and the channel status is displayed. The bit activity indicator lets you check for 16, 20, or 24bit audio. You can even see which audio channels are present.

Video and Audio History

The audio and video technical displays also include a 6-second history display, so you can see the recent video input history. This ensures you can instantly see what's been happening.

Trend Graphs

The trend graphs below the video display let you see the last 60 seconds of codec data rate and cache fill. Plus, codec data rate is critical for ensuring you have enough internet speed from your ISP.
