Stream like the pros

There are many things I can say about this piece of equipment. I will also say there are many reviews about it out on the internet too. I will share my Pros and Cons to help you make your decision. It was a struggle for me to decide if I needed the Web Presenter HD or 4k version. Ultimately I landed on the 4k version, because it allows me to grow my production quality when my cameras, switcher and internet bandwidth grow as well. The build quality is top notch and it has not overheated for me. There is no power switch, it is an always on type unit. If you want to turn it off, it either is unplugged or needs a power strip to be flipped off. Pro: 1. Physical buttons and nob on the front with a small preview screen for confidence during your broadcast. 2. It offers around a 90 second cache for the ingesting 12G SDI video feed. This is good if you ever have your internet connection cutout during a broadcast. 3. It has 2 internet sources, a 1 GbE Ethernet port and the 2nd is a USB Type-C to Mobile Hotspot / Phone over 4G LTE / 5G with automatic switching for fail-over. If setup to use both before the stream, it will do a fail-over to the secondary. 4. There is a USB Type-C port on the back interface which can be used as a Webcam on a computer. Any OS capable of a USB Web camera (Windows / Linux / Mac OS device. Something like OBS to both Record the stream output and or re-broadcast to 2nd RTMP platform. 5. Unlike the BMD ATEM Mini Pro/Extreme units, the Web Presenter HD/4k can dynamically change stream quality while the stream is live. (I.E. if the broadcast starts on High Quality (9 Mbps), it can change to Medium Quality (6 Mbps) while streaming. This advantage over the ATEM because once it is streaming the quality cannot be changed until the stream has been stopped. 6. The rear interface also one HDMI and one SDI Output allowing you to monitor the broadcast Audio levels, Video quality, On Air, and so much more. 7. A 12G SDI Loop output to put into another 12G SDI input device. Like a 2nd Web Presenter HD/4k or a recording device. 7. While there are built-in streaming destinations, the Web Presenter HD/4k offer an import of custom XML to enter additional RTMP servers you would want to stream too. Cons: 1. The only input is a 12G SDI for Audio/Video. Unlike the previous generation which had an HDMI input. 2. No way to record video on the Web Presenter HD/4k. This requires an additional device like a HyperDeck, or adding a field recorder with 12G SDI input. 3. It can only be controlled using Blackmagic software off of their website. Note: The manual indicates you can have an HTML readout of specs if you navigate to it's IP address on your local LAN. Note: The connecting SDI cable can be 3G/6G/12G, but realize that each version allows a different throughput of video to the device. A 3G will be limited to only 1080p30, but a 12G will allow 4k60.

Live Stream From Any 12G-SDI Video Source Direct To Social Media & YouTube.

Now you can live stream to the world! Blackmagic Web Presenter is a complete streaming solution that includes a professional hardware streaming engine for direct streaming via Ethernet to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and more! It's just like a modern broadcast television transmitter for a new global streaming audience! Plus the built in USB connections work like a webcam, so you can connect a computer and use any streaming software, or even Skype or Zoom. For redundancy, you can stream to the internet via Ethernet or connect a 5G or 4G phone to use mobile data! Web Presenter also includes a technical monitoring output that includes video, audio meters, trend graphs and even SDI technical data!

Make Live Streaming Easy.
Blackmagic Web Presenter is a self contained solution that includes a powerful hardware encoder, software for connecting to streaming platforms, and network connections. That means you don't need to buy an expensive computer or use complicated streaming software. Simply connect an SDI video source such as a live production switcher or a camera, then connect to the internet using the built in Ethernet connection. Or plug in a mobile phone to use mobile data! With settings built in for popular streaming platforms, you simply need to enter a streaming key and press on air! 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! Blackmagic Web Presenter will auto detect when a phone is connected and switch its internet connection to use it. You can select Ethernet or phone priority, which makes phone internet backup fully automatic. Plus, by using phone tethering and mobile data, Web Presenter becomes the perfect remote location streaming solution!

USB Webcam Output for Video Software.
For increased compatibility, Blackmagic Web Presenter 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 web presenter 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 web presenter to a camera and then Skype or Zoom calling your client with live video of a shoot! Web Presenter 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 Web Presenter 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!

Streaming Status.
There's a very large ON AIR indicator on the top left of the monitor output, so it's always clear when you are online and streaming! Plus all your current streaming settings are displayed clearly.

Video Input Status.
The SDI input technical details are displayed, such as video standard and ancillary data. The bit activity indicators let you see the quality and bit depth of video before H.264 encoding.

Audio Input Status.
Audio is de-embedded from the SDI input and the channel status is displayed. The bit activity indicator lets you check for 16, 20 or 24 bit audio. You can even see which audio channels are present!

Video and Audio History.
The audio and video technical displays also include a 6 second history display so you can see the recent video input history. This ensures you can instantly see what's been happening.

Trend Graphs.
The trend graphs below the video display let you see the last 60 seconds of codec data rate and cache fill. Plus codec data rate is critical for ensuring you have enough internet speed from your ISP!

Video and Audio Meters.
A large area is dedicated to the video input display, and the large multi segment audio meter with accurate ballistics. You can even change the type of audio meter from VU, PPM and more!

Includes Web Presenter Utility.
The Blackmagic Web Presenter Utility software provides a single place to manage multiple web presenters and to update the settings and software. Simply plug directly into the front of the web presenter's USB connection, or connect using Ethernet so you can configure remotely, which is important when you're managing multiple remote sites. The familiar menus and controls make it very easy to set up a live event, so you can get started fast! Plus the front panel LCD menus have the same settings and controls! You can even load additional services for ATEM Streaming Bridge. The Blackmagic Web Presenter Utility software is included free and runs on both Mac and Windows platforms.

12G-SDI Supports 720 HD, 1080 HD and Ultra HD.
Blackmagic Web Presenter includes a 12G-SDI input with support for all HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. A 12G-SDI loop output is included enabling you to loop video through more than one web presenter, so you can stream to multiple services. Blackmagic Web Presenter features Teranex conversion technology on the SDI input for incredibly clean looking video. Blackmagic Web Presenter takes the incoming HD or Ultra HD input signal and automatically converts it to high quality, low data rate 1080p HD, which is sent to the hardware H.264 encoder for streaming and to the computer when using the USB webcam outputs. All this means you can use any HD or Ultra HD source for streaming!

Built in Redundancy Keeps You On Air.
Serious broadcasters love redundancy because it increases reliability. Blackmagic Web Presenter 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 Web Presenter Utility software for control.
