blackmagic streaming Web Presenter HD is a complete streaming solution that includes a professional hardware streaming engine for direct streaming via Ethernet to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and more! It’s just like a modern broadcast television transmitter for a new global streaming audience! Plus the built in USB connections work like a webcam, so you can connect a computer and use any streaming software, or even Skype or Zoom. For redundancy, you can stream to the internet via Ethernet or connect a 5G or 4G phone to use mobile data! Web Presenter also includes a technical monitoring output that includes video, audio meters, trend graphs and even SDI technical data!
It includes a powerful hardware encoder, software for connecting to streaming platforms, and network connections. That means you don’t need to buy an expensive computer or use complicated streaming software. Simply connect an SDI video source such as a live production switcher or a camera, then connect to the internet using the built in Ethernet connection. Or plug in a mobile phone to use mobile data.
The Web Presenter supports video output from cameras up to Ultra HD resolution. The device scales output signal down to 720p for web streaming using Teranex conversions, which should result in very high quality scaling. It supports both HDMI 2.0 and 12G-SDI connections, and also includes XLR and component audio-in.
If you’ve longed to use your favorite DSLR or mirrorless camera instead of a mediocre webcam or smartphone for live webcasts, the Web Presenter looks like it could be a great option.
