The Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro uses the ATEM Mini as its base. The Pro is a live production switcher that features four inputs with an intuitive control panel designed for multicamera live HD video streaming to the internet or for broadcast applications. The Pro version sees both physical and software updates including a built-in hardware encoder and additional control buttons that further enhance your production. It can provide you with the data rate from your live stream and status information, simultaneous recording to USB drives and drive hot-swapping with the Blackmagic MultiDock. It also provides support for ever-popular Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and 4K cameras, allowing them to be utilized as your broadcast sources.

Expanded Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro Key Features:

The Upgrades

The Pro version of the Blackmagic ATEM Mini builds on the foundations of the standard version, but with added controls and software features. The Pro version allows you to stream video up to 1080p HD as well as offering support, control for and tally light control for the BMPCC 6K and 4K cameras. Physically, there's now quick stream, on-air and record buttons, and a hardware encoder that removes the need for additional streaming software as well as a MultiDock for live hard drive switching. In addition to this, there's an improved H.264 codec for higher-quality output and customised advanced settings with XML files.

Intuitive Transition Control

Enhancing your live stream is a range of intuitive and creative transition controls. There are five main transitions that the ATEM Mini Pro provides including: ‘Cut' which will instantly switch to another video source, ‘Mix' which can be used to dissolve and gradually transition to another source, and ‘Dip' that is similar to mix in that it'll provide a gradual blend to another source using either a solid colour, graphic, or another clip. There's also ‘Wipe', which sweeps a customisable pattern (circles, diamonds, squares etc.) across the frame, and finally DVE. DVE, or Digital Video Effects, allow you to use creative transitions between sources e.g. spin, squeeze or swoosh.

Upstream/Downstream

The Pro features both upstream/downstream keyers that allow you to layer different live video sources or graphics over one and another using the Upstream Keyer. You're able to make use of the luma key, linear key, pattern key, or use a green screen with the chroma key to layer over virtual sets. Then there's the Downstream keyer. This keyer, which is part of the ATEM Mini switcher, is used to add high-quality graphics including logos and titles from the built-in media player over live stream program output. This is the last layer of keying which means these graphics overlay other video switched to the main program output.

Audio-Wise

Another feature of this unit is the built-in audio mixer. This mixer enables the control of your camera and all six available audio inputs and two channels, with precise control level and balance. It features user-selectable On/Off/Audio-Follow-Video options per channel as well as gain control, level and peak metering. Finally, this unit features new Fairlight audio enhancements that offer compressor, gate, limiter, six bands of parametric EQ, and master gain control.
