The Blackmagic Streaming Encoder 4K is a one third rack width hardware encoder that converts a single 12G-SDI source into an H.264 or H.265 live stream at up to Ultra HD resolution, built for venues that need to stream in 4K rather than scale down to 1080p.
RTMP covers H.264 delivery to standard platforms, while SRT supports both H.264 and H.265 for low latency, bandwidth efficient contribution. HLG and PQ HDR metadata pass through on the input, and an SDI loop output, SDI monitor output and HDMI monitor output let producers check the picture locally. A 2.2 inch front display, spin knob and buttons handle setup, and a USB-C port doubles as a 4K webcam output.
