Blackmagic Design has released the Blackmagic Web Presenter 3.4 Update. This new update adds support for new REST API on Web Presenter HD and 4K models for more precise streaming control, and improved mobile tethering with Google Pixel phones.
What’s new in Blackmagic Web Presenter 3.4
This software update adds a new REST API on Web Presenter HD and Web Presenter 4K models. If you are a software developer, the REST API allows you to integrate Web Presenter into automation systems so you can customize all streaming parameters to get precise control over streaming. This is more powerful than the simpler XML based settings on the regular streaming settings. Plus you can update streaming platform details remotely and even build a custom application to control the web presenter with the features you need.
This update also includes a bug fix to ensure mobile tethering works with the latest Google Pixel phones. Plus this update fixes a bug with H.265 streaming with SRT on YouTube where it won’t stream correctly. To fix this the default steaming settings have been changed to H.264 until the bug is fixed. However this codec setting is set in the XML file so it can be overridden if required.
