I did not quite understand what the atem is used for. Can you clarify?

[@ArtistJGH]

So far, the ATEM Mini is nothing more than a mere, expensive paperweight. I’ve spent many, many hours watching tutorial videos trying to mate my supposed V-logging video camera to the Mini and then the Mini to Windows OBS, then the computer to a wide screen TV. When I bought the Mini, I thought I could display different views of a demonstration to a crowd of people and record the video using OBS to post later to KZbin. I was wrong so far. So an expensive lesson to me.

[@cgonzt5636]

So no help at all? What alternative did you get then?

[@ArtistJGH]

@@cgonzt5636 I ended up buying a different camcorder. It turns out the one I had does not stream, which seems odd. but it now works like a champ!

[@davem072676]

Is a portable 4 channel audio mixer able to be hooked up to one of the mic inputs?

[@1SourceVideo]

You may connect the mixer to one of the two 3.5mm audio inputs on the ATEM Mini. You'll need to balance your levels on the mixer, and then you can make further master adjustments from the ATEM control software. Hope this helps!

[@davem072676]

@@1SourceVideo Yes thank you very much. I have one more question I am hoping you can answer. I would be using this to live stream concerts. I have read that the audio from the mixer will not be perfectly synched with the cameras. Have you tried anything like this? Wondering if it is true or not.

Well done video! That's a huge help! What are the mic options if you want to use something besides a lav mic? I'd rather use a studio mic ....any recommendations?

[@1SourceVideo]

any mic that outputs to 3.5mm jack is an option. Check out the Azden products.

[@abrtesting6490]

@@1SourceVideo I wouldn't say "any mic" unless the ATEM provides phantom power via 3.5 jack. Your best bet is to run your high end mics through your camera's xlr inputs which travel along with video through hdmi to the switcher. Or if you're needing more than 2 mics, add an audio mixer before going into the cam.

[@1SourceVideo]

@@abrtesting6490 You're most definitely right. Good call.

[@DougPipersr]

Since I had a Zoom H4n, I decided to try using that to get a ATR2100 mic to work with the ATEM Mini. That seems to work well and solves my mic issue without having to buy anything.

[@1SourceVideo]

Make sure you have the most recent ATEM Switchers update from www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/atem-live-production-switchers The ATEM Software Control should detect your Mini automatically when connected to same network via ethernet. It should also detect it automatically when connected to your computer with the USB. If you need to adjust the network settings of your ATEM mini, connect it to your computer via USB and open the "ATEM Setup" application.

Great video. Did you do all the animation with the unit yourself? Would love to learn how to do that.

[@Mctiger99]

Is there a way to use the 4 video inputs independently ? For example, on obs, id like to use input 1 on scene 1 and input 2 on scene 2 and activate the autoswitcher

[@1SourceVideo]

From the HDMI, you cannot output anything from the switcher but program feed. You will need separate capture devices and use OBS as your switcher if you want to do this. Consider the Ultrastudio Recorder 3G.

[@AllanDelosReyes]

Does it work with gotowebinar or teams?

[@GROCMUSICCO]

So talking with Blackmagic support I've found this to be a bit disturbing. Whenever the media is removed from the ATEM Mini xxx the drive is still mounted. Meaning the data could possibly become corrupt or even damage the drive. I haven't used the unit long enough to determine that this could be a problem but I'm sure it would be. I've only been in the computer business for 30 years but I do see this as a problem.

[@mauroteixeira7308]

I am very sad I bought an Atem Mini and the HDMI out image does not work anywhere other than my TV. I already connected it to the Blackmagic Ultra Mini Recorder and it doesn't work. I already connected it to my Blackmagic Video Assist 7 4k and there is no picture. And lastly I turned connected this HDMI out on the Bidirectional Converter SDI / HDMI and it also doesn't work.

[@HowardOlsen]

Alright, so here's the question I cant find the answer to anywhere. Is the connection to the PC bidirectional? or maybe a better question is can run an entire Zoom Meeting using just 1 PC? I spend a lot of time on Zoom doing training seminars and other presentations often using Power Point and Video Files. Would I need to run PPT on single PC and Bring it in through and HDMI input with my camera on another input and then send it over to my Zoom Meeting on a 2nd PC through USB as a Webcam source or could I somehow pull all of this off on a single PC? My guts are telling me that what I'm asking will require 2 PCs but I'd love a definitive answer. Thanks!

[@1SourceVideo]

2 PCs is an easy way out but if you use OBS or a similar program you should be able to do everything with 1 computer. You can do a window capture on the powerpoint and you can bring media files directly into obs and play them as well. You'll output from OBS as a "virtual camera" which is basically a webcam source. In zoom you'll select the virtual cam as your video source in the settings.

[@lacavernadelbrujo]

Can I put a video on the Atem ?

[@1SourceVideo]

The media players on any of the ATEM Mini Switchers do not support video playback. You would have to connect an external media player like a Blackmagic hyperdeck.

[@TheBackRoomChannel]

I have a routing question. Let's say I'm bringing in someone for a podcast on video via an HDMI output from a computer into the ATEM Mini. Also, I have a separate input via another HDMI to show video. How could I show that video back to the remote guest? The USB-C in theory is the way to go cause it can be set up as the video "webcam" input back to the remote guest( let's say on Skype). I don't seem to be able to find a way to split that USB-C output, so I'd have to, I think, have the instance of Skype on the same PC as the ATEM software(cause of the USB-C) AND use the same PC for OBS to a Facebook live stream or whatever. Is this correct? Is there another way to go? I hope this made sense, and thanks for any advice.

You need to make sure the IP address in the software control matches the IP address of the Mini. At 4:05 you can see where this is done. If you don't know what the IP address of the panel is, you can connect it to your computer via USB. Simply connecting the Mini to your comp via USB will also allow you access the Software control.
