Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing your Blackmagic Web Presenter!

With Blackmagic Web Presenter, our design goal was to make Internet based broadcasting
andeven calling using video for presentations dramatically easier. Unlike our traditional capture
cards, which are designed for post production, Blackmagic Web Presenter is quite different
because it transforms the SDI and HDMI video inputs into USB video that uses the webcam
driver that’s built into your computer.

What this means is that any SDI or HDMI video source now looks the same as a regular webcam
and any software that works with a webcam will now work with professional broadcast quality
products. With webcam support built into all video streaming and calling software, it means that
you have a very large choice of what streaming platform you can use.

Unlike capture cards that send all the pixels in the video source to the computer, Blackmagic
Web Presenter actually reduces the video resolution down to 720p and can even reduce the
video frame rate down to 20, 15, 10 or 5 frames per second when directed to by the software.
This means you get very high quality HD video in 16:9 aspect ratio, but you also get the lowest
data rate to ensure you can stream video reliably and with regular internetconnections.

But Blackmagic Web Presenter is way more than a USB webcam source for SDI and HDMI
video sources, as it also includes a 2 input live switcher so you can do simple multi camera
broadcasts or presentations. All you need to do is add the optional Teranex Mini SmartPanel
and you can then press the 1 and 2 buttons to live switch between sources. ButtheTeranex
Mini Smart Panel also includes video preview, audio meters, input video standard and USB
frame rate information too!

Please check the support page on our website at www.blackmagicdesign.com for the latest
version of this manual and for updates to your Blackmagic Web Presenter’s internal software.
Also when downloading software, please register with your information so we can keep you
updated when new software is released. We are continually working on new features and
improvements, so we would love to hear from you!

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.

Plugging in Video

Next, plug your source video into the Blackmagic Web Presenter’s SDI or HDMI video inputs.
You might notice there are 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.

The SDI and HDMI inputs include audio, however there are also 2 additional analog audio
inputs. The XLR audio input is a mono input that lets you plug in microphones. It’s a single
channel mono input because microphones are mono and when you connect to this balanced
XLR audio input the audio will be sent to both left and right audio channels internally. The
second analog audio input is a HiFi input using RCA connectors. This input is good for
computer audio or audio from a music source such as smartphone, music player, audio mixer or
even a CD player.

All audio sources will be connected to an internal stereo audio mixer and all blended together.
If you don’t want audio to be included from any specific audio source, then please ensure you
disconnect the analog audio sources, or turn down audio from HDMI sources such as
computers. Otherwise any audio on any of the inputs will be blended together and sent to the
USB audio output.

Connecting to your Computer

Now that you have plugged in your video and audio sources, connect your Blackmagic
WebPresenter to your computer via its USB port. Your computer will instantly recognise the unit
as a USB webcam source.

Using Teranex Mini Smart Panel

An optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel can be mounted to the front of your Web Presenter,
replacing the original front panel. The Smart Panel buttons allow you to switch sources, together
with a built in LCD so you can monitor the input video and status information, such as the input
video source, video format, plus the USB output frame rate.

Installing Teranex Mini Smart Panel

Installing your optional Smart Panel is easy and because the panels are hot swappable, you
don’t even need to turn off your Blackmagic Web Presenter when installing it.

1 Remove the two M3 screws on each side of your Web Presenter’s basic front panel

using a Pozidriv 2 screwdriver and gently pull the panel away from the front of your
Web Presenter.

2 On the inside of the basic panel, you’ll notice a small clear plastic tube attached to

the bottom corner. This tube directs light from the LED inside the Web Presenter to
illuminate the status indicator on the basic panel. This tube should stay attached to the
basic front panel.

TIP If reattaching the basic front panel, make sure the light tube is aligned with

the slot in the front of the unit.

3 Align the connector on the rear of the Smart Panel with the adjoining connector on

the face of your Blackmagic Web Presenter and gently push the Smart Panel towards
the unit until the connectors are firmly seated. The Smart Panel should make a firm
connection and fit neatly inside the face of your Web Presenter.

4 Re-insert the M3 screws from the original panel.

When installing the Teranex Mini Smart Panel to your Blackmagic WebPresenter, holding the panel
with your fingers and thumb positioned above and below the connector will help guide it into place

Teranex Mini Rack Shelf

Teranex Mini Rack Shelf is a 1 RU shelf that lets you install your Blackmagic Web Presenter into a
broadcast rack or road case. Your Web Presenter is so small, you can install it next to other
Blackmagic Design equipment that shares a similar form factor, such as Teranex Mini converters,
Blackmagic MultiView 4 and HyperDeck Studio Mini. For example, installing a Blackmagic Web
Presenter together with two HyperDeck Studio Minis gives you one unit to play back your video
sources, and provides another unit for recording the program output from your Web Presenter. This
modular design lets you build your own custom video solutions that are portable and easy to use!

Installing your Blackmagic Web Presenter into a Teranex Mini Rack Shelf is as easy as removing
the unit’s rubber feet, if installed, and fastening the unit to the base of the shelf using the
supplied screws. The Teranex Mini Rack Shelf ships with two original blank panels which you
can use to cover gaps if you don’t need to install additional Blackmagic Design equipment.

For more information check the Blackmagic Design website at www.blackmagicdesign.com.

Using the Built in Switcher

Blackmagic Web Presenter features a built in 2 input live switcher. However, to take advantage
of this feature you need to install the Teranex Mini Smart Panel. This panel adds an LCD screen
and pushbutton controls that you can use to control the built in switcher. Once the Teranex Mini
Smart Panel is installed, the switcher feature will be enabled.

When both SDI and HDMI video sources are connected, the HDMI input will be resynchronized
so that both inputs can be transitioned without glitches. This is what makes the Web Presenter
able to do live switching.

To operate the built in switcher, simply press the 1 on the front panel to select SDI as the video
source or the button marked 2 to select the HDMI video source. Once selected, the Web
Presenter will perform a transition. You could connect a computer with a slide show to the HDMI

Using Camera Tally

Blackmagic Design studio cameras and ATEM switchers include a tally feature where the tally
information is sent from the switcher to the camera via the program return feed from the
switcher to the camera. Your Blackmagic Web Presenter also includes this tally feature so you
can see which camera is “on air” when you are using the switcher feature on the web presenter.

Using tally is quite simple and all you need to do is connect the SDI output of a Blackmagic
Design Studio Camera to your web presenter as an SDI video source and then connect the
program output of the web presenter back to the camera progam SDI input. Now when you
select the program button on the camera you can see the web presenter’s program video on the
camera. But what’s even more exciting is the tally information is now being sent to the camera.

The SDI video input is tally “camera 1” and the HDMI input is tagged as “camera 2”. So what this
means is that in your camera’s settings, you will need to set the camera number. In this case we
are using the SDI input for the camera, then the camera should be set to camera 1. Once this
has been set, and you press the 1 button on the front panel of the web presenter, you should
see the tally illuminate on the camera.

connected via SDI in the ‘studio’ tab of the LCD menu

Set the camera number to ‘1’ for Blackmagic URSA Mini
connected via SDI in the ‘setup’ tab of the LCD menu

If you are doing a presentation, it can be extremely helpful for the presenter to see a nice
clearred tally indicator on the camera they are using when they are on air. This makes it easy
for them to know when they are live. Imagine having a Blackmagic URSA Mini with
BlackmagicURSA Studio Viewfinder combination and the presenter can see that big red tally
indicator when they are on air. It’s a very powerful combination!

The tally feature is supported on Blackmagic Studio Camera, Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera
and Blackmagic URSA Mini models of cameras. For more details on setting up tally, refer to the
‘Backmagic URSA and URSA Mini’ and ‘Blackmagic Studio Camera’ manuals which can be
downloaded from www.blackmagicdesign.com/support

Appendix

Blackmagic Embedded Tally Control Protocol

Version 1.0 (30/04/14)

This section is for third party developers or users who may wish to add support for the
Blackmagic Embedded Tally Control Protocol to their products or system. It describes the
protocol for sending tally information embedded in the non active picture region of a digital
video stream.

Data Flow

A master device such as a broadcast switcher embeds tally information into its program feed
which is broadcast to a number of slave devices such as cameras or camera controllers. The
output from the slave devices is typically fed back to the master device, but may also be sent to
a video monitor.

The primary flow of tally information is from the master device to the slaves. Each slave device
may use its device id to extract and display the relevant tally information.

Slave devices pass through the tally packet on their output and update the monitor tally status,
so that monitor devices connected to that individual output may display tally status without
knowledge of the device id they are monitoring.

Assumptions

Any data alignment / padding is explicit in the protocol. Bit fields are packed from LSB first.

Blanking Encoding

One tally control packet may be sent per video frame. Packets are encoded as a SMPTE 291M
packet with DID/SDID x51/x52 in the active region of VANC line 15. A tally control packet may
contain up to 256 bytes of tally information.

Packet Format

Each tally status consists of 4 bits of information:

uint4

bit 0: program tally status (0=off, 1=on)
bit 1: preview tally status (0=off, 1=on)
bit 2-3: reserved (0x0)

The first byte of the tally packet contains the monitor device tally status and a version number.

Subsequent bytes of the tally packet contain tally status for pairs of slave devices. The
masterdevice sends tally status for the number of devices configured/supported, up to a
maximum of 510.

struct tally
uint8
bit 0: monitor device program tally status (0=off, 1=on)
