Blackmagic Design, known for its expertly developed technology, has reported the roll-out of the Blackmagic Web Presenter Update 3.5. The primary objective of this update remains to address an occasional Audio-Visual (AV) sync problem that used to occur after the loss of input signal on the Web Presenter 4K model. Furthermore, to ensure consistent audio tracking, audio meters on both monitor output and LCD are configured to display the SDI input consistently on HD and 4K models.
The update’s key additions and improvements
One of the major enhancements in the Blackmagic Web Presenter 3.5 pertains to the Web Presenter 4K and HD versions. This includes rectifying an intermittent bug that had the potential to trigger an AV synchronization error after an input signal got lost. Besides, another important tweak is the configuration of audio meters on both the monitor output and LCD to invariably reflect the SDI input. These changes contribute to the overall performance of the device and provide increased stability.
Compatibility specifications for Mac OS
From the compatibility standpoint, the Web Presenter 3.5 update performs optimally on Mac OS 14.0 Sonoma or later, and macOS 13.0 Ventura. Continued compatibility is ensured with third-party software on Mac OS, including widely-used communication applications such as Skype, Zoom, FaceTime, Microsoft Teams, and OBS Studio. Media players like QuickTime Player and VLC, in addition to Wirecast Play, are also supported. This broad compatibility extends to all software that interfaces efficiently with USB HD webcams.
Compatibility specifics for Windows
With regards to Windows, the Web Presenter 3.5 update works best on Microsoft Windows 11 and Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit. This update supports third-party software on Windows like Skype, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, OBS Studio, and VLC. Broadcasting software including Xsplit Broadcaster and VidBlasterX, as well as vMix and Wirecast Play, can also be used effectively following the update.
