Blackmagic ATEM Mini HDMI Switcher

Blackmagic ATEM Mini

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Live Stream Switcher is an easy-to-use HDMI switcher with an integrated control panel designed for multi-camera live streaming and web productions. It is also ideal for Skype presentations, corporate presentations or even educational videos.

The 4-channel HDMI switch means you can connect four separate cameras or devices to the device, such as an HD camera, game console or computer. The HDMI inputs can accept a maximum of 1080p60 video. You can connect a projector or external monitor to the HDMI output, for example, and the USB-C connection on the back of the device allows you to stream 1080p/60fps video to a computer. The device supports video software such as Skype, Teams and OBS.

ATEM Mini can be used as is, or with the included, feature-rich Atem Software Control software, which brings depth and professionalism to your work.

The control panel is clear in its functions, and the easy-to-read backlit keyboards make it easy to control the controls. The panel's keys allow you to select the desired camera input, as well as affect settings and transitions. The keys also include upstream and downstream keys, an advanced chroma keyer, two linear/luma keyers, a DVE transition keyer, a pattern generator and two color generators.

The Blackmagic ATEM Mini has a built-in audio mixer that allows you to control both the camera and external audio sources. The mixer features On/Off/Audio-Follow-Video per channel, as well as separate gain control per channel, level and peak metering, and new Fairlight audio enhancements such as compressor, gate, limiter, six parametric EQ bands, and master gain.

The device also has a media storage space that can store up to 20 still graphics files. This eliminates the need for a separate external generator for graphics used in broadcasts. The most common image formats are PNG, TGA, BMP, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF.

The RJ45 10/100 Ethernet port allows for remote system management and updates.
