Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro

Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro Live Stream Switcher is an easy-to-use HDMI switcher with an integrated control panel designed for multi-camera live streaming and web productions.

While the Atem Mini requires a computer for streaming, the ATEM Mini Pro is suitable for streaming over an Ethernet network using the RTMP protocol. In addition, the Atem Mini Pro allows you to record the broadcast with audio to an external USB drive. This is a great feature if you want to use the streaming recording so that it can also be viewed as a post-broadcast. Perfect for churches, educational videos, twitch streamers, vloggers, etc.

Differences between the Atem Mini Pro and the lighter Atem Mini device:

• H.264 recording with AAC audio to USB-C 3.1 disk.
• Live streaming over Ethernet ( without a computer )
• Live streaming over Ethernet using Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP)
• Multiview video output

The 4-channel HDMI switch means that 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 Atem Mini PRO also allows streaming without a computer directly via the ethernet connection. The device supports video software such as Skype, Teams and OBS.

ATEM Mini Pro 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 Pro has a built-in audio mixer that allows you to control both the camera and an external audio source. 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.

RJ45 10/100/1000 Ethernet port allows for remote system management and updates.
