    SDI or HDMI to Thunderbolt for streaming?

    Posted by Ty Ford on July 20, 2014 at 1:10 am

    Hi,

    I have a JVC HM650 camera with both SDI and HDMI outputs. I’m trying to set up a live stream using DAcast and my Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt I/O. Does anyone have any experience with this?

    Will the BMD mini monitor or mini recorder do this? No? Something else?

    Thanks,

    Ty Ford

    I think any number of Blackmagic products can do this (SDI or HDMI to Thunderbolt for streaming). We use the Blackmagic Intensity Extreme Thunderbolt box to stream HDMI. Under Mac OS, the Blackmagic Thunderbolt device should be a selectable input device in most modern video streaming programs — we’ve used Wirecast, but others on this forum have used the Intensity Extreme directly with DaCast too:
