Description

The Blackmagic Streaming Decoder is a compact yet powerful solution for converting live H.264 and H.265 video streams into SDI or HDMI signals with broadcast-grade quality. Designed for professionals needing real-time video delivery, it transforms streams from Blackmagic cameras or the companion Streaming Encoder into crisp HD or Ultra HD output. Ideal for point-to-point remote video links, it ensures seamless integration into studio or field production environments. What sets the Streaming Decoder apart is its integrated support for tally, talkback, and camera control over SDI-making it possible to manage production remotely with the same precision and responsiveness as on-location teams.

Housed in the ultra-portable Teranex Mini design, the Streaming Decoder fits three units in a single rack space, perfect for dense multi-stream setups. It features dual USB-C ports (front and rear) for mobile phone tethering, supporting 4G and 5G networks as a primary or failover internet connection to Ethernet. Its built-in hardware auto-switching ensures uninterrupted connectivity, while the 12G-SDI reference input allows SDI signal passthrough from ATEM switchers for comprehensive remote control. From live sports and events to corporate and educational broadcasts, the Streaming Decoder empowers users to maintain synchronized, high-quality video production across any distance-reliably and with professional polish.
