Standalone H.264 and H.265 hardware decoder for live streaming by Blackmagic Design
This professional streaming decoder from Blackmagic lets you receive an H.264 stream from an ATEM or Blackmagic camera and convert it back to SDI and HDMI video. It includes control and return tally, as well as Blackmagic Cloud streaming!

Create a point-to-pointInternet broadcast links
The Blackmagic Streaming Encoder (sold separately) can also be used to set up Internet broadcast links with the Blackmagic Streaming Decoder 4K ! This receives the H.264 or H.265 stream from the Blackmagic Streaming Encoder and converts it into SDI and HDMI video. This means you can send point-to-point video between remote sites. The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder also has a 12G-SDI reference input for connecting the SDI tally, camera control and command network, then sending it all back to the encoder. Imagine a master control room with remote streaming from the cameras, complete with tally, command network and camera control on the remote cameras! Everyone is remote, but working together!
Live streaming onYouTube, Facebook and more!
The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder is compatible with the most popular streaming platforms, including YouTube, Facebook Live, X and Twitch. Its integrated hardware streaming engine has been carefully designed to deliver professional-quality live streaming. This gives you a standalone solution for live streaming, with no loss of images.
Installation is simple: the Blackmagic Streaming Utility software lets you select the streaming platform and update the streaming key. Compatible with Mac and Windows, it connects directly via USB or remotely via Ethernet. If you're a technical expert, you can also edit presets stored in an XML file to change specific basic settings or add new streaming platforms.


12G-SDI supports HD 720, HD 1080 and Ultra HD!
The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder features a 12G-SDI input that supports all HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. A 12G-SDI loop-through output is also included, allowing you to loop video through several Streaming Encoders and broadcast to multiple services. The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder incorporates Teranex conversion technology on the SDI input for exceptional video quality. This feature allows you to integrate any Ultra HD or HD SDI video and automatically convert it to the desired video standard for streaming. This means you can produce a live production at a higher quality than the intended streaming resolution. The operation is fully automatic: no settings required.
Built-in redundancyKeeps you on the air!
Serious broadcasters appreciate redundancy because it improves reliability. The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder offers redundant functions to guarantee your on-air connectivity. You can connect to the Internet via the built-in Ethernet connection or via a phone connected for 5G or 4G mobile data.
In the event of a failure, the Internet automatically switches to a backup connection! Compact and cost-effective, this device makes it easy to use two separate units to stream content to the primary and secondary YouTube servers. With AC and DC inputs, you can even use a battery for redundant power. It also features front-panel buttons and menus, as well as Blackmagic Streaming Utility software for control.
