Getting Started
Getting Started
Plugging in Power
Getting started with your Blackmagic Web Presenter is quick and easy! All you need to do
is connect power, connect your video and audio, then connect the unit to your computer.
To supply power, plug a standard IEC power cable into your Blackmagic Web Presenter’s
power input on the rear panel. When powered, the status indicator at the bottom right corner
of your Web Presenter’s front panel will illuminate.
Blackmagic Web Presenter supports 12G-SDI and will automatically
switch between SD, HD and Ultra HD all the way up to 2160p60

Plugging in Video
Next, plug your source video into the Blackmagic Web Presenter’s SDI or HDMI video inputs.
You might notice there is both loop SDI and loop HDMI outputs and you can use these outputs
if you want to connect Web Presenter in line with a video connection to other equipment. For
example, you could loop the SDI output to a deck or monitor or you could connect Web
Presenter in between a computer’s HDMI output and the HDMI input of a video projector.
There is also a program SDI output and this will output video after the SDI and HDMI switch, but
before the down conversion to 720p video. This SDI program output is the same resolution as
the video inputs, so is perfect for connecting to a deck for master recording.
Blackmagic Web Presenter supports 12G-SDI and will automatically switch between SD, HD and
Ultra HD all the way up to 2160p60 when the video input changes. This means you can input
virtually any video signal and it will convert the signal to 720p video for the USB video, which is
both high quality but also very low data rate for streaming video. What this means is you can do
your production in higher resolution 1080 HD or Ultra HD but the web presenter will take care
of lowering the resolution and frame rate for you, all within the single unit.
