Yes. This will work with programs like OBS (Open Broadcaster) and XSplit for Twitch.TV. It will likely interface with UStream and Livestream as well.

Yes, Tunji. It will work for any good streaming software, such Adobe FMLE, Wirecast, Livesteam, etc...

The card and its driver are used to capture video. To stream you will need software from a third party. If you check the Blackmagic website you'll find suggestions. I use Vmix to switch and add effects live. Vmix can record and/or stream the production. If you haven't yet purchased and have no interest in switching between sources, there are other alternatives that can capture and stream like the Hauppauge StreamEez-Pro. Search Amazon for "video capture streaming" for more options.

This card does not do the streaming. This card simply takes an input from hdmi or sdi device and feeds it to your computer which is then used by software for whatever purpose you've set up. To do streaming, try searching online 'blackmagic mini recorder streaming' or 'blackmagic mini recorder fmle' ... this card is also compatible with vMix switching which has streaming and recording capabilities as well as many other software programs.

I tried to connect this to my Flash Media Server in Local computer and on my internet server. Unfortunately I couldn't. other Stream Providers needs to outgoing internet. remember the Highest quality is SD Not HD.

I tried win 7 profession and ubuntu, if the hd video is on the pc them it run fine, but if your streaming it won't play hd video well. I wanted just for streaming video from netflix, abc.com, nbc.com and youtube.com. Other than the OS and the browse there was no other intent purpose for it. if you going to use it for a web server this great but the video card on it is very poor, though, cpu is ok

FYI, support for this card was added in Linux kernel 4.2, so should work out of the box with newer distros (ie. ubuntu 15.10 or later)

Yes, a Plex client is available and works very well. Go to the bottom of the app screen and choose categories, then video... its visible when scrolling to the right. Plex will sync and self configure with your online account using plex.tv/pin to register this device. I recommend a wired connection when using Plex - I can't tell what speed the wireless NIC is on this TV, but it still stutters now and then when connected to a WirelessAC access point. Wired Ethernet is working fine without hiccups in video using Plex.

According to Google there is an update for Windows 8 so yes.BTW after at least several months I still love this card for streaming video

I'm sorry but I can't say for sure. How I knew that this particular vid card worked for me was by looking up its compatibility and rather or not it fit in the vid card slot. Sorry I cannot help you further on this matter.

Yes you can. Straight stream from it to twitch. Or you can use it to capture and use another program to stream.

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

The Gigabyte mini is only used for word processing and email. Could not tell you about streaming.

Thank you for your reply. I forgot to mention that I'm trying to stream HD mpg files that I'm getting off my Tivo HD. Not sure about their bit-rate but I guess it is high enough. That is the question: What router+adapter allows HD streaming, at least 1080i?As far as I understand it now, old G technology will not fit, we need N-wireless and not 2.4 GHz but 5 GHz etc.

technically compatible. But this card is universally unstable. I would advise to look elsewhere.

It does when the software is working. It seems that sometimes it plain won't work and the hardware sometimes loses it's drivers etc. There are cheaper alternatives that probably work much better. The best reason for this was for gaming, but seeing as the software hasn't been updated in over a year, I can't even stream to twitch anymore. It does work fine as a capture card though.

Yes. I am super happy with this purchase. Just make sure you update all the drivers as soon as you get it. The vid card is a really nice touch for the price point.

Everyone is correct. If you have an HDMI capture device then you can, but this would be an add-on card. Your better bet is an SDI to USB3 device like Magewell SDI dongle ($300). Stay away from Blackmagic for streaming. It works but is a pain to configure.

Yes, I tried it. See my review here. Main point: I wasn't able to reliably stream 1080 even with very fast PC. Everything else works well though.http://reviewhorizon.com/2011/01/warpia-streamhd-swp120a-review-usb-hdmi-wireless-pc-to-tv-1080p-display-adapter/

Only way I could see to accomplish this would be to plug it into hdmi out into a capture card on a PC, and stream from that. But, I'm not sure if that mode can be used for live video or just playback.
