Unlock Professional 4K Streaming with Unrivaled Control
The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder 4K is the essential link in your professional broadcast workflow, engineered to flawlessly receive and convert high-quality video streams for distribution, monitoring, and live production. Move beyond basic streaming and embrace a solution that integrates seamlessly into your existing SDI and HDMI infrastructure. Whether you're receiving a feed from a remote Blackmagic Studio Camera, an ATEM switcher across the globe via Blackmagic Cloud, or any standard H.264/H.265 encoder, this robust decoder ensures your video arrives with pristine quality and minimal latency, ready for action.
What sets the Streaming Decoder 4K apart is its powerful return feed capability. The 12G-SDI reference input is more than just a sync connection; it's a complete communication gateway. It allows you to send critical production information—such as tally signals, camera control data, and talkback audio—back to the remote encoder or camera operator. This creates a true, bi-directional studio environment over a standard internet connection, giving your remote talent the same feedback and control as if they were in the same room. This feature alone transforms challenging remote productions into smooth, professional, and collaborative operations, empowering your entire team to work in perfect sync.
Built for the rigors of professional use, the decoder offers versatile output options including 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0, allowing you to connect to virtually any professional monitor, video switcher, or recorder. For ultimate convenience, the USB-C port enables the decoder to function as a high-resolution 4K webcam, providing a plug-and-play solution for integrating your broadcast-quality stream into conferencing software like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or OBS. From global broadcasting and live event production to corporate communications and houses of worship, the Blackmagic Streaming Decoder 4K is the reliable, feature-rich solution for bringing your remote video sources home.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
