The Black Magic Design ATEM Mini Pro ISO is a compact Live Production Mixer designed for Live Streaming with 4x separate HDMI Inputs with Norm Conversion. The ATEM Mini Pro automatically converts 1080p, 1080i and 720p sources to the Mixer's Video Norm. By default, the Mixer automatically adjusts the Video Format. However, if required, you can also set to a specific Video Norm. The HDMI Output is a True Aux Output, so you can use it to cleanly switch individual HDMI and Programme Feeds. For Low Latency in e-sports, you can even switch Input 1 directly to the HDMI Output. If you are Mixing in Programme/Preview Mode, you can switch the HDMI Output to Preview. With the ATEM Mini Pro model, Full-Screen Multi-View is possible.
In addition to an HDMI Output, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO offers a Webcam Output with USB-C, so that the Video Signal can be recorded with any Video Software without the need for a special Capture Card. The Software reads an ATEM Mini Pro as an ordinary Webcam, when in fact it is a Live Production Mixer. This guarantees full compatibility with any Video Software in the Full Resolution quality of 1080HD. Choose any Software, e.g. Open Broadcaster for Live Streaming or Skype for point-to-point presentations. The ATEM Mini will work with Software and Platforms such as Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Skype, Zoom, Twitch TV, Periscope, Livestream, Wirecast and more.
Packaged in an all-in-one design, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO is both a Control Panel and Connection Hub. The Console-Style Control Panel of the Mixers offers clearly arranged Buttons for Source Selection, adjusting Audio Inputs and selecting Video Effects and Transitions. The presenter can feel the large source Buttons without looking, and can Mix the Picture themselves. There are even Buttons for Mixing Sound. The Selection Keys for the Output Signals switch the Video Output between Cameras, Programme and Multi-View.
The Fairlight Audio Mixer built into ATEM Minis even makes highly complex Live Audio Mixing possible. You can Mix Audio from all Sources via the 12x Channels of the Internal Mixer. This means the Audio coming in from all HDMI Sources and the 2x Stereo Microphone Jacks. Each Input Channel has a 6-Band Parametric Equaliser, Compressor, Limiter, Expander, a Noise Gate and full Pan Control. With "AFV" (Audio Follows Video), you can even set the Software to Mix automatically when you change Inputs, or Mix Multiple Sources simultaneously in real time. You can control all this audio power via the included ATEM Software Control by computer, via a Mackie-Compatible Sound Mixer or a colossal Fairlight Audio Console.
One of the most exciting features of ATEM Mini Pro is its Digital Video Effects Processor, or DVE, for Picture-in-Picture Effects and DVE Transitions. With the DVE, you create professional Picture-in-Picture Displays with Customisable 3D Frames, Shadows and Lighting. The image quality delivered is as high as that of top-of-the-line ATEM Mixer Models. The DVE supports Effect Placement, Scaling and Resizing and works in real time. The DVE also lets you craft captivating Transitions with 16x different Squeeze and Push Effects to spice up your Programme. With the DVE's Fly Key Function, you are able to create Wipe Fades with Custom Graphics.
You can connect Table and Clip-On Microphones to the 2x independent 3.5mm Stereo Jacks. You can even connect a Music Player and play Introductory Music between the start of the livestream and the start of the programme. You can connect Clip-On Microphones to the 2x Stereo Inputs and ensure that presenters and guests are professionally equipped for the interview. For all Audio Inputs, the ATEM Mini Pro's Control Panel features Buttons for adjusting Audio Levels and activating Audio Inputs in the Internal Mixer.
This model can additionally record up to 5x separate H.264 Video Streams in real time. Namely, a clean feed from all Inputs plus Live Programme. Because a DaVinci Resolve Project File is also saved, you can open your Live Production right away and refine Edits, swap out Shots, Remix Audio and Colour Grade.

Received the product with 2 days to go before a major production - as estimated byDV247. Slotted in to my working OBS setup with ease and performed reliably on a 6 hour stream with no issues - not even running that hot as reported elsewhere online. Audio management is far better than anticipated despite the lack of faders, with the nudge up/nudge down buttons being all that's required. Multiview out is clear and concise.Now looking at dropping the laptop from the signal path as ATEM is so easy to use.
