About the Livestream BCP100 Broadcaster Pro
The Livestream BCP100 Broadcaster Pro is an all-in-one hardware encoder and live production switcher designed to simplify and professionalize live video streaming for organizations, event producers, and educators. This compact unit consolidates the functions of multiple devices—including video switcher, audio mixer, graphics generator, and encoder—into a single integrated console, enabling users to produce multi-camera live streams with overlays and transitions without the complexity of a computer-based software setup. It is engineered for reliability in live environments, providing a tactile, hardware-based interface that allows operators to focus on the production rather than managing software windows or computer stability. The BCP100 is ideal for streaming live events, webinars, church services, and corporate announcements directly to platforms like Facebook Live, YouTube, and custom RTMP destinations.
The system supports multiple HD video inputs, typically via HDMI or SDI, allowing for the connection of cameras, computers, and other video sources. Its integrated production switcher enables real-time cuts, fades, and picture-in-picture transitions between these sources. A key feature is the built-in title and graphics engine, which allows operators to overlay lower-thirds, logos, and pre-designed scenes onto the live video feed directly from the device, eliminating the need for an external character generator. Audio mixing capabilities are included, with support for embedded audio from video sources, dedicated microphone inputs, and the ability to balance levels for a polished final mix. All these elements are combined and encoded into a high-quality H.264 stream within the hardware itself.
Operational simplicity is a hallmark of the Broadcaster Pro. It often features a "Stream Now" one-touch button for immediate broadcasting and includes built-in wired and wireless networking for internet connectivity. Configuration and management are handled through a web-based interface accessible from a connected laptop or tablet, where stream destinations, encoder settings, and graphics can be prepared in advance. By offering a streamlined, dedicated hardware workflow, the Livestream BCP100 empowers users to create professional-grade live streams with minimal crew and technical overhead, making advanced live video production accessible outside traditional broadcast studios.
