Live Stream to Most Major Platforms

It’s a fully self-contained solution—just connect it to the internet, and you’re ready to stream. Setup is straightforward with the Web Presenter Utility software, allowing you to choose your streaming platform and update the streaming key effortlessly. The utility is available for both Mac and Windows and can connect directly via USB or remotely via Ethernet. For advanced users, the XML settings file can be manually updated to customize settings or add new streaming platforms.
Streaming Made Easy
The Blackmagic Web Presenter is an all-in-one solution that features a powerful hardware encoder, software for connecting to streaming platforms, and network connections. This eliminates the need for an expensive computer or complicated streaming software. Simply connect an SDI video source, like a live production switcher or camera, then use the built-in Ethernet connection to go online. Alternatively, you can connect a mobile phone for mobile data. With pre-configured settings for popular streaming platforms, all you need to do is enter your streaming key and press on air! Additionally, you can simultaneously use the USB webcam output to connect to a computer, enabling the use of other video software.
Built-in Monitoring
While traditional broadcast transmitters remain essential for television stations, the streaming server has become equally crucial as it reaches millions of viewers worldwide. To support this, Blackmagic Web Presenter offers a comprehensive technical monitoring output. This graphics-based monitoring display includes a video view, precise audio meters, trend graphs for codec data rates and cache fill, as well as a summary of the streaming settings and detailed SDI technical information. The technical monitoring output operates in full 1080 HD and is available through both SDI and HDMI. This allows you to use an SDI router for monitoring multiple units or simply connect to an HDMI TV.
Web Presenter Utility
The Blackmagic Web Presenter Utility software offers a centralised platform for managing multiple web presenters, updating settings, and software. You can connect directly via the front USB port or remotely through Ethernet, which is especially useful for managing multiple remote sites. The intuitive menus and controls make setting up a live event quick and straightforward. Plus, the front panel LCD menus mirror the software settings and controls, ensuring consistency. You can also add additional services for the ATEM Streaming Bridge. The Blackmagic Web Presenter Utility software is free and compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms.
12G-SDI for 1080HD Streaming
The Blackmagic Web Presenter is equipped with a 12G-SDI input that supports all HD formats. It also includes a 12G-SDI loop output, allowing you to chain multiple web presenters together to stream to multiple services. With Teranex conversion technology on the SDI input, the Blackmagic Web Presenter ensures incredibly clean video quality. It takes the incoming HD signal and automatically converts it to high-quality, low-data-rate 1080p HD, which is then sent to the hardware encoder for streaming. This allows you to use any HD source for your streaming needs.
Stay Live with Built-in Redundancy
The Blackmagic Web Presenter is designed with redundant features to keep you online. It offers dual internet connections, allowing you to connect via built-in Ethernet or a tethered phone for 5G or 4G mobile data. If one connection fails, it automatically switches to the other, ensuring continuous streaming. Additionally, you can use two separate units to stream simultaneously to both primary and secondary YouTube servers. With both AC and DC inputs, you can connect a broadcast battery pack for redundant power. Control is made easy with front panel buttons, menus, and the Blackmagic Web Presenter Utility software.
