Thanks to Facebook and YouTube, we're all broadcasters now. But livestreaming through a smartphone is a poor substitute for capturing video with a higher-end camera. That's where Blackmagic's Web Presenter comes in. Connect it to your camera via HDMI or SDI cable and then connect it to a PC via USB, and you can create your own web streaming studio using your DSLR, mirrorless or cinema camera. The Presenter doesn't need a special driver, it's simply treated like a webcam by your computer so its video feed can be easily integrated into the full range of livestreaming options (YouTube and Facebook Live, Twitch, etc.). The Presenter automatically converts your live video recordings, even 4K resolution streams, to a 720p stream that's broadcast-able through your computer. The unit's software monitors available bandwidth and will reduce frame rates automatically if bandwidth decreases. The Presenter has SDI and HDMI outputs as well so you can feed live video to an external monitor or recorder to save for the future. There's an XLR input and stereo inputs for connecting external mics. If you spring for the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel you can switch between two live video inputs for an extra sheen of professionalism.
