The Blackmagic Streaming/Broadcast Essentials bundle groups an incredible camera with a plug-and-play converter box that will present the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera as a webcam in 720p for easy, low data rate, high-quality streaming for platforms such as YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitch, Periscope, and more, eliminating the need for streaming encoders. With this setup you get a high quality lens and no-fuss shotgun mic all for less than if you added these items individually on the same order.

This bundle is a great choice for simple event coverage, small shows, presentations, or any other project you wish to record but also stream for a wider audience. Here are a few of the standout features of the gear in this bundle:

• Plug-and-play design: simply connect the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera source to the Blackmagic Web Presenter (necessary cables are included with the Presenter) and connect the Presenter to your computer/laptop's usb port. It will work with any software that supports video from a webcam (like Skype, Open Broadcaster, or XSplit Broadcaster) because it is a standard UVC and UAC compatible usb device, so you dont need any drivers just plug it into your Mac, Windows, Linux, or Chromebook machine and it will think that the camera source is just a standard webcam.
• There is an HDMI loop out port that lets you use the Web Presenter between your computer/laptop and a video projector system.
• The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a highly compact form factor for a cinema system and, despite its size, it still offers a full-size HDMI port that is compatible with advanced features, like HDR or clean 10-bit out with on-screen overlays showing full camera status ideal for use with optional external monitors.
• Equipped with the same OS as the URSA Mini, you can easily navigate settings and monitor footage on the BMPCC4K's huge 5" 1080p touchscreen.
• The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II Lens offers a nice, close focusing distance for smaller spaces, image stabilization, and a silent design so focusing won't get picked up by the mic.
• The Rode VideoMic GO Shotgun Microphone is a simple plug-in-and-go directional mic that is great for interviews and can pick up subjects up to 6' away. It is equipped with an integrated Rycote Lyre shockmount to fully isolate the mic from vibration.

This is a great setup for those looking for a simple 1-click option that gets them up and running with pro gear that minimizes complexity for live streaming.
