SERIOUS STREAMING HARDWARE

The BoxCaster is a dedicated video encoder developed to meet the demands of live streaming:

  • Built-in Ethernet (or Wi-Fi) gets the BoxCaster online without the need for a separate PC.
  • Three lights on the front tell you when you are (or aren’t) live streaming.
  • Stream from anywhere with an internet connection with an encoder that’s small enough to fit in your pocket.

Once you connect your BoxCaster to the internet, use our web-based Dashboard to:

  • Easily configure account settings, including integrations with Facebook Live, YouTube Live, and the embedded video player for your website.
  • Schedule recurring events to have the BoxCaster automatically stream on its own for each broadcast.
  • Or go live now with the Broadcaster app for iOS, the fastest way to go live with professional-quality results.

Reliable, High-Quality Streaming

Instead of encoding and sending multiple variants of video at different quality levels to the cloud, the BoxCaster streams one high-quality version using BoxCast Flow, preserving precious upstream bandwidth. Viewers always see the best quality stream, based on their internet connection.

In addition, our embedded video player and TV apps are designed to serve viewers on mobile phones, computers, and OTT appliances including Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV devices.

To enable these high-quality experiences, the BoxCaster requires a BoxCast subscription plan. Each plan includes cloud transcoding and an enterprise-quality CDN.

  • Audio mixer, PC, or other A/V equipment – Input analog (composite) video and/or stereo audio.
