Features

Designed for Internet Broadcasting

The easiest way to stream to your favourite websites or services.

Blackmagic Web Presenter is the fastest and easiest way to get live video directly onto the web for a new generation of web broadcasting. Plus you don’t need to buy expensive and hard to setup streaming encoders. Simply connect video sources such as a professional SDI camera or an HDMI source like a consumer camera or computer into Blackmagic Web Presenter then connect it to your computer’s USB port. That’s all you need to do. Blackmagic Web Presenter will work with any software that supports video from a webcam because it tricks your computer into thinking the SDI or HDMI device is a webcam. Now you can use popular software such as Open Broadcaster or XSplit Broadcaster to live stream your broadcasts and events. Best of all, you don’t need any drivers or extra software.

Professional Quality Streaming

Now you can turn any live production into a global broadcast.

Blackmagic Web Presenter is perfect for anyone that wants to broadcast professional looking, high quality video on the internet. Traditional broadcasters can use Blackmagic Web Presenter to quickly get content out to a global audience from any location through YouTube Live, Facebook Live and more. It can even be used as a backup video link in the field if a satellite channel goes down. Web broadcasters can upgrade the quality of their online webinars or AV professionals can even use it to stream content to seminar attendees over the internet. When used with the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel, Blackmagic Web Presenter becomes a professional 2 input live production switcher that lets you create professional presentations with camera and slide show switched right from the front panel.

Teranex Quality Conversions

Stream incredibly clean video from any source.

Blackmagic Web Presenter has Teranex conversion technology built in that provides you with incredibly clean looking web video from any source. You can use any SD, HD or Ultra HD source up to 2160p60. Blackmagic Web Presenter takes the incoming HD or Ultra HD input signal and automatically converts it to high quality, low data rate 720p HD, which is sent to your computer via USB for streaming. 720p is the ideal format for streaming because it is HD resolution, has a 16:9 aspect ratio and also generates the lowest data rate, making streaming over the internet extremely easy while retaining incredible quality. If the streaming software detects a slow internet connection, it can send a command to Blackmagic Web Presenter to reduce frame rates to 720p20, 720p15, 720p10 or 720p5.

Compatible Software

Works instantly with all popular streaming software.

Blackmagic Web Presenter lets you stream high quality video through your favourite software and websites such as Skype, YouTube Live, Facebook Live and more. Any webcam compatible software will be able to capture video and audio from your connected devices without the need for additional drivers. With Blackmagic Web Presenter, you can use the popular software you love and get higher quality, perfectly synced audio and video that’s far better than a simple webcam. This is possible because all video software is generally tested on webcams built into computers, however Blackmagic Web Presenter tricks these software tools into thinking its also a simple webcam, but delivers dramatically higher video quality.
