Try a free BoxCast trial and see how Spark boosts your streaming quality and reach with less bandwidth. NOTE: Subscription is REQUIRED to use this BoxCast hardware. The BoxCast Spark HDMI is an HEVC (H.265) live streaming encoder that empowers content creators, houses of worship, schools, and production teams to deliver professional-quality 1080p60 broadcasts with enhanced control and monitoring features built right into the unit.
The BoxCast Spark HDMI encoder uses modern H.265 (HEVC) compression to cut streaming bandwidth in half compared to traditional encoding standards, while still delivering up to 1080p60 resolution — ideal for live events, worship services, corporate broadcasts, sports, and more. It also supports H.264 (AVC) for broad compatibility.
Spark’s intuitive 4.3″ capacitive touchscreen display shows live video preview, audio meters, network speed, and streaming status so you’re never in the dark. The customizable LED status ring gives at-a-glance broadcast feedback, and onboard controls let you adjust audio levels on the fly — a rare feature in standalone hardware encoders.
Reliability is built in with BoxCast Flow, the platform’s adaptive, patented streaming protocol that helps maintain smooth delivery even as network conditions change. A built-in microSD slot lets you record a local backup of your broadcast directly from the encoder, giving you peace of mind even if the internet falters.
The Spark HDMI version connects easily into your workflow via HDMI 2.0a, whether that’s a camera, switcher, or live graphics system. Analog audio input options and a headphone jack make audio integration simple, and both Ethernet and dual-band Wi-Fi allow flexible network connections. Spark’s compact design and multiple mounting options help it fit smoothly into any setup.
