Telestream Integrates Wirecast Pro 5 With Blackmagic Design’s Intensity, DeckLink

Telestream has integrated Blackmagic Design’s Intensity and DeckLink high performance capture and playback devices with Wirecast Pro 5. This integration allows users to take a live Wirecast program feed and capture it to a Blackmagic Design product, for use in editing, effects, or other broadcast design workflows. This enables more flexible live streaming production workflows.

“Our customers have asked for a way to take an SDI program feed directly out of Wirecast,” says Filippa Hasselstrom, director of desktop product marketing at Telestream. “We are pleased to announce this can now be accomplished as a result of the integration with Blackmagic Design using the Wirecast 5 Output SDK.”

Integration with DeckLink and Intensity products was enabled by Wirecast’s new Output SDK, which was introduced with the release of Wirecast 5. This SDK provides hardware manufacturers the ability to easily integrate their products directly with Wirecast. For more information on the Wirecast Output SDK, contact [email protected]

“It’s very exciting to see Blackmagic Design’s desktop video products integrated with Wirecast,” says Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “Using Wirecast with Blackmagic’s DeckLink and Intensity products will give customers a high performance, seamless SDI streaming workflow.”

Wirecast is the only cross-platform, all-in-one live streaming production software that enables capture, live production, and encoding of live streams for broadcast to multiple servers and platforms simultaneously. Wirecast Pro 5 is available online and from a network of resellers for US $995. The program feed output capability is included free of charge in Wirecast Pro 5.
