Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K
The Blackmagic Design Streaming Encoder 4K is a broadcast‑grade, self‑contained streaming engine built for professional live production and mastering. Equipped with advanced H.264 and H.265 hardware encoders, it delivers direct streaming at up to DCI 4K 60 fps via Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) or Real‑Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP). Whether you’re sending Ultra HD feeds to YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitch, Restream.io, Vimeo, or enterprise platforms, this encoder ensures rock‑solid, low‑latency performance in any environment.
Connectivity is comprehensive and future‑proof. A single multirate 12G‑SDI input with loop‑through BNC handles any SD, HD, or Ultra HD source, while dedicated SDI and HDMI monitor outputs provide real‑time preview. Built‑in 10/100/1000BASE‑T Ethernet lets you stream directly over IP, or you can tether high‑speed 5G/4G mobile data via the rear USB‑C port for remote locations. Embedded 16‑channel SDI audio and 2‑channel HDMI audio keep your sound perfectly in sync with video.
Control and monitoring are effortless with the Blackmagic Design Streaming Encoder 4K, thanks to the integrated 2.2" color LCD with program video preview, audio meters, and status overlays. Front‑panel shortcuts—six tactile buttons and a precision spin knob—provide instant access to menu settings, streaming parameters, and live routing. For on‑the‑fly adjustments, device control is available via the front panel, USB‑C, or Ethernet, ensuring full flexibility in both studio and field deployments.
The Streaming Encoder 4K integrates seamlessly into modern workflows, supporting a vast ecosystem of software and services. Native streaming targets include Facebook Live, Twitch, YouTube Live, Twitter, Restream.io, Vimeo, BoxCast, Castr, AfreecaTV, Bilibili, DouYu, Weibo, Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, QuickTime Player, FaceTime, OBS Studio, Open Broadcaster, VLC, Wirecast Play, and Wowza Streaming Engine. A rear‑panel USB‑C webcam output also enables direct webcam‑style connectivity for conferencing and recording applications.
Built for 24/7 reliability, the unit draws just 25W from its internal 100–240 VAC supply or optional +12V DC XLR input. Housed in a rugged 1RU rackmount chassis, it operates from 0°C to 40°C (32°F–104°F) at up to 90% non‑condensing humidity. The package includes the Streaming Encoder 4K, a welcome wallet with QR code for software downloads, and a three‑year limited manufacturer's warranty—delivering a turnkey, Ultra HD streaming solution you can count on.
