Plus you can simultaneously use the USB webcam output to connect to a computer, allowing other video software to be used!

Connect 5G or 4G Phones for Mobile Data

If you're streaming from a remote location, or you need a backup for the main Ethernet connection, you can plug in an Apple or Android phone to connect to the internet via mobile data. For convenience, there are USB connections on both the front and rear panel that can be used for tethering phones. Plus it works with the latest high speed 5G phones, as well as 4G phones!

USB Webcam Output for Video Software

For increased compatibility, Blackmagic Streaming Encoder also features two USB connections that operate as a simple webcam source. 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 full compatibility with any video software and in full resolution 1080 HD quality. Imagine connecting Streaming Encoder to a camera and then Skype or Zoom calling your client with live video of a shoot! Streaming Encoder works with any video software including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster and more!

Built-in Technical Monitoring

Traditional broadcast transmitters are critical equipment in a television station, however now the streaming server is just as critical because millions of viewers can be watching globally! To help, Blackmagic Streaming Encoder includes a feature rich technical monitoring output. The graphics based monitoring output includes a video view, audio meters with accurate ballistics, trend graphs for codec data rates and cache fill, plus a summary of the streaming settings and detailed SDI technical information. Plus the technical monitoring output works in full 1080 HD and outputs to both SDI and HDMI. That means you can use an SDI router for monitoring multiple units, or connect a simple HDMI TV!

Built in Redundancy Keeps You On Air!

Serious broadcasters love redundancy because it increases reliability. Blackmagic Streaming Encoder includes redundant features to help ensure you stay online. You get dual internet connections, so you connect to the internet using the built in Ethernet or a tethered phone for 5G or 4G mobile data. Plus the internet automatically switches in case of an outage! Or you can use 2 separate units to stream to both the primary and secondary YouTube servers. With both AC and DC inputs, you can use a broadcast battery pack for redundant power. There are even front panel buttons and menus, plus the Blackmagic Streaming Encoder Utility software for control.

Broadcast Links with ATEM Streaming Bridge!

While Blackmagic Streaming Encoder can send video to a wide range of streaming services, it can also be used as a private broadcast SDI video link between studios! The ATEM Streaming Bridge is a video converter that lets you receive the H.264 stream from Blackmagic Streaming Encoder and then convert it back to SDI video. This means you can send video between remote locations across your local Ethernet network, or via the internet globally! That's all possible due to the built in H.264 hardware codec that decodes the Streaming Encoder stream. Imagine setting up multiple television studios and using ATEM Streaming Bridge and Streaming Encoder for video links between sites.
