The Blackmagic Streaming Encoder is a professional-grade live streaming solution designed to deliver pristine H.264 and H.265 video to the web or directly to the Blackmagic Streaming Decoder. Built on the trusted Web Presenter platform-now renamed for clarity-it empowers broadcasters, educators, and content creators to stream effortlessly in HD or Ultra HD. Whether you're encoding video from a camera, switcher, or production studio, this encoder ensures low-latency, high-fidelity streaming with the reliability needed for mission-critical broadcasts. Paired with the Streaming Decoder, it creates a powerful, secure point-to-point video link ideal for remote studios, OB vans, and live events.
