## Description

Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini HDMI Live Switcher

Review: Powerful Features - Save time and money, edit less. - Multi camera for live streaming, video recordings, zoom calls, presentations, and much more have given me powerful dynamics to my show. A direct camera take to my guests, close up shots, and the habilita to set up extra scenes for quick switching right at the reach of my fingertips while recording or streaming (or both). Almost two years of using here are pros and cons: Pros: It’s the most advanced video capture device for the money, and the comparable competition is so behind they are not even in the same solar system. Control device with buttons or software. Run macros, control BMPCC cameras from the software. Color grade from software live (out to hdmi with almost Davincci resolve grade processing). Run and control audio and audio processing straight from the software controls in your PC or Max. Use advanced options for so many things. This is a professional level device at consumers ease of use and price. Cons: Do expect to have to buy extra cables and extra stuff. To get the most off this, you’ll have to learn how to use the software that operates it. It has no on/off switch, but I use a smart plug to work around it. Other than that, it’s a no brained. It solves more problems than you think. I love it for livestreams and podcast recording alike.
Review: It's really good for the price - Update: This thing still rocks! I really have not had one issue with it. I thought that maybe because it does not have a fan, I would start having problems with it overheating but everything is running well. Seriously, if you're on the fence about this, I can say after having this for some time now, it's very worth it. This tool has saved me a lot of headache. For its price, it's really loaded with features. I have not had it too long so I'm not sure of its longevity. It seems to run a little hot but no technical issues so far. I am using it for business and I'll use it nonstop for 5-6 hours at a time. It's been great and like I said, there are tons of functions with this thing. The software is great too. I have to hand it to Blackmagic, they made my favorite piece of gear that I have purchased in a long time. In comparison to other switches on the market, you might pay $1000 dollars just to get half as many features as the ATEM Mini. Also, it's basically plug and play. I'll let you know if any technical issues crop up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the audio level input selectable or a dedicated mic or line level input?**
A: Yes each input can independently be matched as a mic or line input.

**Q: I can't believe they made this without a multi-view output. Is there any work-around to this problem?**
A: ATEM Mini Pro includes all mini features plus, multi view with 4 cameras, media, preview and program plus status of recording, streaming and audio. It also supports recording to USB flash disks in H.264, direct streaming via Ethernet to YouTube Live and more.

**Q: Can you suggest a mic that can be directly plugged in to mic1 or mic2 input without going through a mixer?**
A: Your best bet is to get a microphone preamp. If you use just a cable converter, the impedence  won't be correct. That will work, but the sound quality won't be nearly as good as using a mic preamp. There are good microphone preamps available here on Amazon for not very much money.

**Q: Is posible to connect a zoom podtrack 4 with the atem mini?**
A: Yes! But it's a bit of a silly way to do things (but it will work). The ATEM Mini has two audio inputs (labeled Mic 1 and Mic 2)  So what you'd need to do is take one of the headphone OUT connections from the Zoom podtrack and connect it to one of the  ATEM Mini "mic" inputs. This will require a 1/8" TRS to 1/8" TRS cable (that's a cable with an "Aux Cord" connector on both ends)
You'll almost certainly need to lower the volume of the Zoom Podtrack 4 headphone output quite a bit, but adjust the settings until it sounds good.  It's not a perfect solution since you lose the use of a headphone output, and you're not really using a "Microphone" as an input, but it does work. Hope that helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the $$$$$
*by M***D on October 4, 2020*

I’m amazed this thing was only $300. I use this in a workflow with OBS studio to produce high school football live streams. I run all cameras and audio through this switcher (the software audio mixer is incredible) and output to my laptop running OBS where I overlay all the graphics before live streaming out of OBS to YouTube. It’s a perfect cheap setup giving me broadcast quality productions. The only negative to me is the integration of graphics into the switcher. It’s upstream and downstream keys are useless to me. You can only use PNG files and there is no physical button on the switcher for the downstream key. The physical upstream key does not work if you are using a Luma key setup. It only works for chroma key. Would be nice if the media pool accepted Photoshop PSD files that would update on-air as they are changed and saved in photoshop. That’s what I’ve been doing using OBS which allows for changeable scoreboards. Just recently though, I figured out how to integrate Scoreboard+ into OBS which gives me a scoreboard with a clock and full controller. Just wish it would work in the ATEM Mini instead of OBS. However, for the price, I can’t give it any less than 5 stars for the $300 version. Now, the higher priced versions I’d expect these flaws to be fixed.
