It’s worth noting that a bit of practice is needed if you’re doing a live stream. The first time I used the ATEM I forgot about the audio, a mistake you only make once, maybe twice. As well as video streaming options the ATEM has built-in Advanced Chroma Key for green and blue screen work. In use the Mini, Pro and ISO are all level pegging when it comes to performance, they all essentially do the same things with a few additional extras. Those seemingly small extras make an incredible difference to the usability and workflow especially when it comes to the individual feed recording available with the ATEM Mini ISO.

HD video output standards: 1080p/23,98; 1080p/24; 1080p/25; 1080p/29,97; 1080p/30; 1080p/50; 1080p/59,94; 1080p/60 The ATEM also features internal media for 20 RGBA graphics that can be used for titles, opening plates and logos. These are all loaded in through the ATEM Control software. One of the big unseen and complex tasks that happens behind the scenes is that the ATEM Mini Pro ISO converts and re-syncs all HDMI inputs, this means that you don’t need to worry about the camera settings as the ATEM does that for you. Updated support for the ATEM 1 M/E and 2 M/E Broadcast Panels to enable compatibility with all current ATEM switchers. During the session, I used the physical buttons on the ATEM to switch between each source and used the software to add the overlays to the feed as required using the simple macros.

Managing Live to Air Graphics

One of the benefits of ATEM Mini is the professional production values that are possible using the range of built in video effects. The cut button ensures an instant cut when switching between sources. The auto button is a professional term that's used on large broadcast switchers to enable video effects transitions. There are duration buttons for video effects allowing 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 second settings. You can also select the type of effect you want including mix, which does a smooth transition between sources, and dip which fades via a colour during the transition. Or use fun DVE effects that move the image off screen when transitioning between sources. Introducing low cost, multi camera, live production with advanced broadcast features Everybody is still in a euphoric state of mind about this Atem Mini Pro. I must admit that it includes me. However I can think of a few minors. I bought the Atem to reduce my editing time by changing to more 'live editing' during the broadcast or recording and to be able to live switch camera's without problems. I mainly record or live-stream smaller (sports)events. Although writing Macro’s sounds complex these are written within the software and the process is quite straight forward and enables you to get graphic overlays to appear when required. Ethernet: Supports 10/100/1000 BaseT for live streaming, software control, software updates and connecting a control panel to the mixer directly or via network The ATEM Mini Pro ISO is a compact switcher measuring in at just 237.5 x 103.5 x 35mm and weighing in at 550g. That means that it’s ultra-portable but does require mains power.

Video standards for streaming: 1080p/23,98; 1080p/24; 1080p/25; 1080p/29,97; 1080p/30; 1080p/50; 1080p/59,94; 1080p/60

While ATEM Mini is easy to use, it's also hiding very powerful broadcast features. If you're interested in a career in the television industry, then ATEM Mini is perfect for training as it has the same features as switchers in high end broadcast studios. You get an ATEM Advanced Chroma Key, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, still store for graphics and much more. Simply run the free ATEM Software Control app on Mac or Windows while connected via USB or Ethernet to access the extended features of the ATEM Mini. With a little experimentation you can learn how to produce broadcast quality live production. Only ATEM Mini is a true broadcast switcher hidden in a tiny and affordable design. Includes Free ATEM Software Control Panel

HD video input standards: 720p/50; 720p/59,94; 720p/60; 1080p/23,98; 1080p/24; 1080p/25; 1080p/29,97; 1080p/30; 1080p/50; 1080p/59,94; 1080p/60;1080i/50; 1080i/59,94; 1080i/60 The ATEM Mini switcher takes things a step further by enabling you to switch from one camera to another easily. This means that rather than you live streaming a gig from a solo camera, you can now mimic that multi-camera look and style of a professional live broadcast. The final two connections link into the streaming ability. This is through either ethernet or USB Type-C. Using the USB enables standard webcam style streaming, making it incredibly easy to use although it does take up the USB port that’s required if you want to record your stream onto a connected drive.

Three Great ATEM SDI Models!

Includes ATEM software control panel for Mac Mojave 10.14, Mac Catalina 10.15 or higher and for Windows 10 only in 64 bit ATEM Mini switchers make it easy to create professional multi camera productions for live streaming to YouTube and innovative business presentations using Skype or Zoom. Simply connect ATEM Mini and you can switch live between 4 high quality video camera inputs for dramatically better quality images. Or connect a computer for PowerPoint slides or gaming consoles. The built in DVE allows exciting picture in picture effects, perfect for commentary. There are loads of video effects too. All ATEM Mini models have USB that works like a webcam so you can use any streaming software while the ATEM Mini Pro model adds live streaming and recording to USB disks. ATEM Mini even has secret broadcast features built in so it can do high end work. Faster Video Production Plus Live Streaming The reason for this is that there is no getting away from large glowing buttons, cables and plenty of cooling required for this type of kit. With two independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs, you can connect desktop and lapel microphones. You can even connect a music player to generate introduction music after the live stream commences but before the program starts. With 2 extra stereo audio inputs, you can ensure a host and guest both have lapel microphones when doing interviews. All audio inputs to ATEM Mini include buttons on the panel for adjusting audio level and enabling inputs into the audio mixer. ATEM Mini features a full Fairlight audio mixer and all HDMI audio inputs and both microphone inputs are all connected separately to the audio mixer so you can live mix from all audio sources. Automatically Converts Any HDMI Input Format The most advanced part of the ATEM Mini ISO is the ability to record a live stream from each video and audio source. As standard, I had two cameras connected with a third and fourth HDMI source going into a couple of 4k media players.
