Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K: Professional Ultra HD Streaming Made Simple
Elevate your live productions and broadcast to a global audience with the unparalleled power of the Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K. This compact, self-contained unit is engineered for professionals who demand uncompromising quality and rock-solid reliability. Say goodbye to complex, multi-device setups and hello to a streamlined workflow that delivers pristine Ultra HD and HD content directly to your favorite platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and X. Whether you're broadcasting a live concert, a corporate webinar, or a house of worship service, this encoder is your all-in-one solution for professional streaming.
At its core, the Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K features a state-of-the-art H.264 and H.265 encoding engine. H.265 (HEVC) allows you to stream in stunning Ultra HD quality using significantly lower bandwidth, ensuring a smooth, buffer-free experience for your viewers. The encoder supports both the common RTMP protocol for wide compatibility and the modern, secure SRT (Secure Reliable Transport) protocol, which provides exceptional stream stability over unpredictable public networks, virtually eliminating dropouts.
Versatility is key in any production environment. This encoder gives you two robust paths to the internet: a primary 10/100/1000T Ethernet connection for stable, high-speed streaming in the studio, and the ability to connect a 5G or 4G phone to its USB-C port for mobile data tethering. This mobile backup is a lifesaver for remote broadcasts or as a failover, ensuring your stream stays live no matter what. The professional 12G-SDI input accepts signals up to 2160p60 and includes a built-in standards converter, so you can connect any SDI source and it will automatically match the streaming format.
Monitor your stream with confidence using the dedicated SDI and HDMI monitoring outputs. These outputs display detailed status information, including streaming data rates, cache status, and audio meters, alongside the video feed. This comprehensive feedback allows you to diagnose and manage your stream in real-time. The USB-C port also functions as a high-quality webcam output, letting you connect the encoder to any computer and use it with Zoom, Teams, or other video software, making it an incredibly versatile addition to any professional AV toolkit.
