Blackmagic Design Makes Exciting Announcements for Live Streaming Applications

Blackmagic Design made another series of product announcements which meet directly the needs and requirements of modern content production, including for live streaming over the Internet. The new products include better studio cameras, a new range of video and audio live production switchers and, interestingly, a new microphone/line converter to make it easy adding audio sources. The new ATEM Microphone Converter is a four-channel analog to digital converter with interesting connectivity options and the possibility to be daisy-chained.

PHABRIX, the manufacturer of video and audio broadcast Test and Measurement instruments that was acquired by Leader Electronics in 2019, announced that the 8000th of its Sx handheld unit is about to roll off the company’s production line. This significant milestone helps cement the brand's position as the broadcast industry’s most popular test and measurement device despite only being launched not even 14 years ago.

LYNX Technik, a manufacturer of modular signal processing interfaces and test equipment from Weiterstadt, Germany, announced its new WFM 1801, a portable multi-format and multi-standard waveform monitor with built-in vectorscope and audio monitoring. For anyone working with digital video and audio signals this is a practical solution that effectively replaces the much more expensive (and heavier) rackmount or lab bench systems.

There will always be those occasions on any audio recording studio or audio engineer will need a nice video interface to deal with some work. And considering the recent evolution in computers and video formats, it's not easy to find an affordable solution that answers of the needs. That's why we are highlighting this new Blackmagic Design UltraStudio HD Mini Portable Thunderbolt 3 interface. It does everything, and is available now for just US$495!
