Blackmagic Design Web Presenter HD

Incorporate live streaming capabilities into your video production configuration with the Web Presenter HD from Blackmagic Design. This compact desktop unit enables you to connect any SDI video input and stream it live over the Internet via Ethernet or by tethering to your smartphone using a 5G or 4G connection. Additionally, the SDI and HDMI monitor outputs provide a comprehensive view of live status information alongside your broadcast.

The USB Type-C port facilitates the connection of any USB video source, including webcams and computers, enabling the transmission of both video and audio across various webcam-compatible platforms and software such as Skype, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitch, Periscope, Teams, and others on Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome OS systems. It is compatible with the H.264 codec and supports streaming through RTMP and SRT protocols, with the capability to stream at resolutions up to 1080p60.

The SDI and HDMI monitor ports offer comprehensive status information regarding your feed, allowing you to verify whether you are ON AIR, as well as providing details on input status such as bit depth and stream quality, embedded audio input status, video and audio history, trend graphs, and meters for both video and audio. Additionally, basic status information can be viewed on the bright LCD screen located on the front of the device. An SDI loop output is also available for monitoring the original feed and routing it to a switcher or router.

Features
