Introducing low cost, multi camera, live production with advanced broadcast features
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
Live
production is the fastest way to complete a finished program, plus you
can stream it to a live global audience via YouTube at the same time.
The USB webcam output of ATEM Mini connects to any computer and looks
just like a built in webcam, so all streaming software for social media
platforms work! With up to 4 HDMI inputs you can set up multiple camera
angles such as wide shots along with independent close ups of each
person in the performance. Or you can connect to a computer with a
PowerPoint slide show, video clip playback, websites or gaming consoles.
All switching is in real time so you can live stream to any social
media platform such as YouTube, Facebook, TwitchTV and many more!
Self Contained Broadcast Quality Switcher
ATEM
Mini's compact all in one design includes both a control panel as well
as connections. The front panel includes easy to use buttons for
selecting sources, video effects and transitions. The source buttons are
large so it's possible to use it by feel, letting the presenter do the
switching! You even get buttons for audio mixing! On the ATEM Mini Pro
model you also get buttons for record and streaming control as well as
output selection buttons that let you change the video output between
cameras, program and multiview. On the rear panel there are HDMI
connections for cameras or computers, extra microphone inputs, USB for
webcam out plus an HDMI "aux" output for program video.
ATEM Mini Pro
This
model includes all the features found in ATEM Mini, plus more! You get
recording direct to USB flash disks in H.264 plus direct streaming via
the Ethernet to YouTube Live and more. There's also a multiview with 4
cameras, media, preview and program plus status of recording, streaming
and audio.
Easy to Use and Fast to Learn!
There's never
been a switcher that's easier to use, as you simply press any of the
input buttons labelled 1 to 4 on the front panel to cut between video
sources. You can choose between cut or effects transitions by selecting
the cut or auto buttons. Unlike cut, the auto button tells ATEM Mini to
use a video effect when switching inputs. You can select from exciting
transitions such as dissolve, or more dramatic effects such as dip to
color, DVE squeeze and DVE push. The DVE is perfect for picture in
picture effects and you can instantly set up different picture
positions. There is even a still store for titles and graphics
accessible via external software control.
Stream Live Interviews
ATEM
Mini is perfect for interviews as you can connect multiple cameras for
close ups of the host, or interviewee, as well as wide shots plus ATEM
Mini is so small the host can even switch in small studios. You can
record via the HDMI output or live stream using Open Broadcaster
software!
Business Presentations via Skype
Get
dramatically better business presentations on Skype because ATEM Mini
makes Skype see it as a webcam, so you can select it in the Skype
settings! One camera can be a close up, another for a wide shot and a
computer for PowerPoint presentations. The presenter can even use
picture in picture!
Live Stream eSport Competitions
Live
stream eSport competitions to Twitch by simply connecting multiple
gaming consoles and a camera for a presenter. ATEM Mini operates up to
60 frames per second for fast gameplay and you can use picture in
picture for commentary! You can even download titles from Photoshop!
Kickstarter and Investor Updates
Raise
the professionalism of Kickstarter or investor presentations to fund
your new product idea! Connect a camera for the presenter, a camera for a
product close up and a computer for business plan slides. Then present
live via Skype and post recordings online for investors to view!
Education and Training
ATEM
Mini is perfect for educational videos! Setup is fast and easy, so you
can travel to locations and record live multi camera video productions
on a wide range of educational topics! Connect computers and cameras and
use the ATEM Software Panel to load titles and perform video effects.
Connect up to 4 Independent Cameras
With
4 independent HDMI inputs, you can connect up to 4 high quality video
cameras. Video cameras with HDMI outputs are dramatically better quality
than simple webcams as they use higher quality lenses and have better
low light sensitivity. All video sources will re-sync to the switcher if
they operate at different video standards so you don't have to worry
about connecting video devices as they all just work! Cameras with HDMI
often support interchangeable lenses so you can change to wide angle
lenses for wide shots and zoom lenses for close-ups. Imagine taking
advantage of the low light capability of better cameras for theater
production, weddings, school concerts and music videos!
Outputs to HDMI Video and USB Webcam!
To
ensure maximum compatibility, ATEM Mini features a USB connection that
operates as a simple webcam source. That means you can plug in and
instantly get working with any video software. The software is tricked
into thinking the ATEM Mini is a common webcam, but it's really a live
production switcher! That guarantees full compatibility with any video
software and in full resolution 1080HD quality. Choose any software you
like, such as Open Broadcaster for live streaming, or Skype for
Powerpoint presentations. ATEM Mini works with software and platforms
such as Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster, YouTube Live, Facebook
Live, Skype, Zoom, Twitch, Periscope, Livestream, Wirecast and more!
Live Stream via Ethernet on ATEM Mini Pro
The
ATEM Mini Pro model has a built in hardware streaming engine for live
streaming via its built in Ethernet connection. That means you can live
stream to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch in better quality, without
dropped frames and with much simpler settings. Just select the streaming
service and enter the streaming key! There are palettes in ATEM
Software Control for streaming setup and status, plus streaming status
is also displayed in the multiview. Streaming status is easy to
understand as the data rate indicator shows internet speed required for
the video format you're using. If you're technically minded, you can
even hack the detailed streaming profiles in the XML preference file and
load new services.
Record Direct to USB Flash Disks with ATEM Mini Pro
The
ATEM Mini Pro model also supports direct recording of your streaming
data to USB flash disks! That means you get very long recordings in the
same H.264 video files with AAC audio that you streamed, so you can
direct upload to any online video site, such as YouTube and Vimeo. ATEM
Mini Pro supports multiple disks when used with a USB hub or Blackmagic
MultiDock, so when a disk fills recording can continue to a second disk
for non-stop recording. Record settings and disk selection are set up in
ATEM Software Control and there's a record status view in the built in
multiview. You can even trigger recording on external Blackmagic Pocket
Cinema Cameras!
Add Exciting Video Effects
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 color during the
transition. Or use fun DVE effects that move the image off screen when
transitioning between sources!
Work with Professional Microphones
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.
