Blackmagic Design BMD-BDLKWEB/J/DES4K Blackmagic Streaming Decoder 4K

Unlock reliable, low-latency video delivery with the Blackmagic Design Streaming Decoder 4K, a professional solution designed to convert H.264 and H.265 live streams into high-quality SDI and HDMI video for broadcast, production, and live event environments. The Streaming Decoder 4K enables seamless point-to-point video transmission, making it easy to receive high-quality streams from remote locations without requiring complex infrastructure.

Designed to work seamlessly with Blackmagic Design streaming-enabled cameras—including the Blackmagic Studio Camera Pro, PYXIS, URSA Cine, and URSA Broadcast G2—the Streaming Decoder 4K allows direct video reception from compatible cameras without additional encoding hardware. For cameras without built-in streaming capabilities, it integrates effortlessly with the Blackmagic Streaming Encoder, providing a flexible solution for virtually any professional production workflow.

Professional 12G-SDI connectivity includes a dedicated reference input that supports SDI tally, camera control, and talkback, allowing critical production signals to be sent back to the encoder for smooth communication and efficient remote camera operation. This makes the decoder an excellent choice for live broadcasts, remote production, and multi-location workflows.

Built for dependable operation, the decoder features USB-C connectivity on both the front and rear panels for tethering compatible 4G and 5G smartphones. If the primary internet connection is interrupted, the unit can automatically switch to the phone's mobile data connection, helping maintain uninterrupted video transmission. Users can also prioritise either Ethernet or mobile connectivity to suit their specific production requirements.

Its ultra-compact 5.5-inch-wide design allows up to three compatible devices to be mounted within a single 1RU rack space, making it ideal for space-conscious broadcast racks and mobile production systems. Supplied with Blackmagic Streaming Utility software, the Streaming Decoder 4K provides a complete, flexible, and professional solution for receiving high-quality live video streams with confidence.
