Makes Live Streaming Easy

That's a solution that doesn't require a computer running complicated streaming software with hundreds of settings. Everything you need is contained in a simple 1/3 rack width design. Simply connect an SDI video source from a live production switcher, then connect to the internet via the built-in Ethernet connection. Or plug in a smartphone to use mobile data. With built-in settings for popular streaming platforms, just enter a streaming key and press 'on air.'

Live Stream to YouTube, Facebook and More

Blackmagic Streaming Encoder supports the most popular streaming platforms. The built-in hardware streaming engine has been meticulously designed to deliver professional broadcast quality live streaming. That means you get a self contained solution for live streaming that works without dropped frames. Setup is easy, as the Blackmagic Streaming Utility software lets you select the streaming platform and update the streaming key. The utility works on Mac and Windows and connects directly via USB or remotely via Ethernet. If you're technically minded, you can also modify the presets which are stored in an XML file to change specific low level settings or to add new streaming platforms.

Connect 5G or 4G Phones for Mobile Data

Connect to the internet using your phone's mobile data for maximum flexibility when streaming from a remote location or as a backup for your primary Ethernet connection. For convenience, both the front and rear panels feature USB-C connections that can be used for phone tethering. Plus it works with the latest high speed 5G phones, as well as 4G phones. If the internet fails, Blackmagic Streaming Encoder will automatically switch its internet connection to use a connected phone. You can also choose to prioritize either the Ethernet connection or the phone connection. Blackmagic Streaming Encoder is the perfect remote location streaming solution, using phone tethering and mobile data.

USB Webcam Output for Video Software

Blackmagic Streaming Encoder offers two USB-C connections that can be used as a webcam video output. That means you can plug into any computer and work with any video software. The software is tricked into thinking the Streaming Encoder is a common webcam, but it's really a broadcast quality SDI video source. That guarantees compatibility with any video software in full resolution 720p HD, 1080p HD or 2160p Ultra HD quality. Imagine connecting a Blackmagic Streaming Encoder to Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Webex, then calling your client in broadcast quality. Blackmagic Streaming Encoder works with a massive range of video software, and any software that works with a webcam will work.

Built-In Technical Monitoring

Traditional broadcast transmitters are super important for a TV station, but now the streaming server is just as crucial because millions of viewers can watch from all over the world. To help, Blackmagic Streaming Encoder incorporates a comprehensive technical monitoring output feature.
