Streaming Decoder 4K

Professional streaming decoder lets you receive an ATEM or Blackmagic camera H.264 stream and convert it back to SDI and HDMI video. Includes return tally and control, plus Blackmagic Cloud streaming!

Make Live Streaming Easy!
Blackmagic Streaming Encoder is a self-contained solution that features a powerful hardware encoder and utility software with a wide range of presets. This makes it incredibly easy to connect to most streaming platforms. 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 ⅓ 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 “!

Create Point to Point Internet Based Broadcast Links
The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder also has a 12G-SDI “reference” input that lets you connect SDI tally, camera control plus talkback and send it back up to the encoder end. Imagine setting up a central control room with remote streaming from cameras with full tally, talkback and camera control on the remote cameras! Everyone is remote, but still working together!

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. The graphics-based monitoring output provides a video view, audio meters with accurate ballistics, trend graphs for codec data rates and cache fill, and a summary of streaming settings. It also includes detailed SDI technical information. Plus the technical monitoring outputs to both SDI and HDMI. That means you can use an SDI router to monitor throughout a facility, or simply connect a basic HDMI TV!

Compact 1/3rd Rack Mount Design
Both the Blackmagic Streaming Encoder and Blackmagic Streaming Decoder use the modular Teranex Mini design allowing rack mounting. It has a built-in AC power supply and a 4-pin 12V DC connection for backup or battery operation. The ultra-portable design is only 5.5 inches wide, allowing you to mount three in a single rack unit for simultaneous streaming to multiple independent services. That means you can combine Blackmagic Streaming Encoder with an ATEM 1 M/E Constellation switcher for a live production and streaming solution in a single rack unit! Plus the front panel features a USB connection, allowing you to walk up and connect a computer for quick local setting changes.
