Blackmagic Streaming Control Software
Control for Blackmagic Web Presenter HD/4K.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect Blackmagic Streaming to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the Blackmagic Streaming handler from the device type list (internal id
bmd_webpresenter). - Enter the IP address of your Blackmagic Streaming, then set protocol TCP and port
9977. - Save and connect. Fantago starts polling the device and publishes its feedback variables, ready to use in panels, sequences and logic flows.
- Drag the actions below onto a panel button, a Stream Deck key, a schedule or a logic flow node.

Blackmagic Streaming control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support Blackmagic Streaming?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made Blackmagic Streaming handler (version 1.0.4) that talks to the device over TCP, default port 9977. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the Blackmagic Streaming handler use?
TCP, default port 9977. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control Blackmagic Streaming from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every Blackmagic Streaming action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the Blackmagic Streaming handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (bmd_webpresenter.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control Blackmagic Streaming from a single interface
Fantago drives Blackmagic Streaming alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
