Stream dependable, live HD video without compromising quality or security. BoxCast Flow, our built-in signature streaming protocol, ensures flawless, pro-quality broadcasts — even with an imperfect internet connection.
All you have to do is connect your BoxCaster to the internet and use our web-based Dashboard or Broadcaster app for iOS. From there, you can schedule recurring events to have the BoxCaster automatically stream on its own for each broadcast.
Our pocket-sized live streaming encoder lets you broadcast on the go from anywhere with an internet connection to virtually everywhere your viewers are watching. Stream to your website, Facebook, YouTube, X (Twitter), and more!
Our patented, little live stream encoder box makes high-quality broadcasting super easy. Just plug in power, internet, and a camera, and you’re ready to stream the crisp live video your viewers deserve!
Got cameras? Video switchers? Computers? Other gear? Whatever your streaming setup, our BoxCaster live streaming encoder works with composite and HDMI sources, and captures audio via HDMI or RCA. All you need is internet and a BoxCast plan!
This simple setup lets you mix in high-quality sound from a soundboard, instrument, microphone, or broadcaster headset with one camera. The BoxCaster’s RCA inputs allow you to send a separate feed from your audio source and mute the embedded audio from the HDMI feed on your camera.
Connect any video switcher to your BoxCaster with an HDMI or SDI output using an HDMI to SDI converter. Send a separate feed from your audio source, and mute the embedded audio from the HDMI feed on your camera so you can combine your program video feed with your mixed audio.
