The Blackmagic Design Streaming Encoder 4K is a turn-key, rack-compact hardware streaming solution designed for live production setups that demand professional quality and reliability. It supports both H.264 and H.265 encoding and streams directly via SRT or RTMP protocols to major platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, Zoom and more. The unit features a 12G-SDI input (with loop output) enabling Ultra HD workflows up to DCI 4K60, plus SDI and HDMI monitor outputs for local monitoring. For flexibility, the interface includes a USB-C port for webcam-out or tethering to 4G/5G mobile devices, alongside a 10/100/1000 BASE-T Ethernet port for wired streaming. A built-in 2.2″ front-panel LCD, six buttons and a spin knob provide intuitive local control, while remote configuration is supported via USB-C or Ethernet. With both AC (100-240 V) and 12 VDC XLR power inputs, the encoder is suitable for studio racks, OB trucks or mobile deployments.
