There was an audio engineer behind the sound board, some cables, a laptop, an incredible musician, and the absolutely crucial Blackmagic Web Presenter. The show was a resounding success, and it raised a generous amount of money for all the parties in need.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"the-blackmagic-web-presenter\">The Blackmagic Web Presenter<\/h3>\n<p>This little box was so clutch \u2014 much more than a normal capture device \u2014 because of everything it can do. It took care of every need I had in this situation (I had next to no time to prepare). It&#8217;s outfitted with a HDMI input, SDI input, XLR input, and SDI\/HDMI loop-outs for any external monitor. This will accommodate your cinema cameras, DSLRs, and basically trick your streaming software into thinking these higher-end cameras are actually streaming devices. This is what you get at the base level, but to fully reap the benefits of this box, you&#8217;ll need to get the Teranex Mini Smart Panel ($85), which is the equivalent of <em>Mario\u00a0<\/em>grabbing a mushroom, fire flower, and star, all at the same time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_129128\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-129128\" class=\"wp-image-129128 size-full\" title=\"Teranex Mini Smart Panel\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg\" alt=\"Teranex Mini Smart Panel\" width=\"755\" height=\"312\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg?resize=300,124 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg?resize=277,114 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg?resize=359,148 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg?resize=543,224 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg?resize=560,231 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hero-xl-1.jpg?resize=150,62 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-129128\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Teranex Mini Smart Panel serves as a mini mobile switcher.

It also allows you to add or remove gain from the audio in your stream, apply transitions (e.g. straight cut, dissolve, or dip), and it includes a small LCD display that can function as a monitor, so you know what&#8217;s actually being broadcast. With an internet connection, this box, a microphone, a laptop, and a camera, you could put together a professional-looking and -sounding stream from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"setting-up-the-blackmagic-web-presenter\">Setting up the Blackmagic Web Presenter<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s about as simplistic as it could possibly be \u2014 you don&#8217;t even need any drivers. Just plug everything in, and it&#8217;s ready to rock. After running it some power, the LCD screen will power on. Next, you&#8217;ll need to connect a USB 2.0 Type A to B cable into the port labeled <strong>USB Webcam<\/strong>, and the other end of the USB into your computer.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_129105\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-129105\" class=\"wp-image-129105 size-full\" title=\"Assembling the Blackmagic Web Presenterr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg\" alt=\"Assembling the Blackmagic Web Presenter\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/back.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-129105\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Assembling this little box is simple and efficient.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Then, plug your cameras into the <strong>Web Presenter<\/strong>.

The Blackmagic box will convert this mono signal into a stereo signal and attach it to your stream.

In this case (a live concert), the stream was more important.
