ATEM Mini Extreme - In Depth Review & COMPLETE Tutorial !

[@glanda7862]

Stunning quality content as always. It is really interesting to see what can happen behind the stage, with all of these switchers. People who are doing the switchting live an a big TV show deserve respect for what they need to do behing the sence.

[@cmsacollegesofmedicineofso5466]

We appreciate the time you put in to create this video. We recently purchased the Atem Mini ISO Extremem to compliment our MAc's with Pro Presenter and our tricasters for inhouse and online streaming - what your shared is going to save us a lot of time and add great value - THANK YOU.

[@28made5]

Which tricaster do you use ?

[@mwadimehwakesho1667]

Your tutorial is so indepth it's hard to believe it's not sponsored by Black Magic! You have convinced me that this is the switcher to get. Thank you very much!

[@ludwi970]

Same here 🙏

[@eammonatkinson]

Great video - an easy way to remember down and upstream is think of it like a river, where the water flowing is the work process and where you modify it.

[@GamersPlayerUnion]

Zebra Zone. The guy that got me down the rabbit hole with the Atem Mini lineup. Not sure to love you or hate you lol...

[@milk6982]

Zebra is back. Quality content as usual.

[@gerardobello1747]

You did it again!! Man I can watch this video over and over. Really good info straight to the point. Thanks!!

[@hexd0t]

When thinking of the video streams, from the perspective of the switcher, Sources are "upstream", because the data flows into the device, while Sinks like HDMI out or recording are where the data flows to, aka downstream. So the naming comes from where in the pipeline the modification is applied, not from at which layer it's working at

[@zebrazone]

Hello Adrian, thanks for the insight !

[@jianxiongRaven]

Recording and editing this must be hell !!!! Liked before watching

[@JNouveau]

Return of the king

[@CatskillOne]

Explanation for Upstream & Downstream: Think of it as a river. If you start rafting at upriver, you'll reach your destination on the downriver. Along the ways you can catch all the fish you want, and they end up on the downriver. Your boathouse is on the downriver with fixed structures, and that's where you'll end up eventually. Or think of anything to do with verticality such as a hill or a skiing slope. You start at the top (up) and reach the bottom (down).

[@georgetheavguy]

[@RobertHarvey101]

Brilliant!!!! The 3D explanation of the USK/DSK is great. Able to visualize them helps. Thank you.

[@presidentofthesun4911]

To understand the naming of upstream/downstream keys, think of your video flow like a river or assembly line. First you add the source, then manipulate them, and later on you add first your upstream key and then finally your downstream key. So because the downstream key comes "later down the line", it is called downstream. Hope that makes sense.

[@ChrisLaxamana]

This was such an incredible video. Thank you. I’m just now getting into live event streaming. 🙏🏽👏👏👏

[@franktrinkle4279]

WOW! Your video post really helped me better understand my Extreme Pro ISO. The links you shared are awesome as well! Cheers!

Quel travail de Romain vous avez accompli dans cetté vidéo vraiment exceptionnelle! J'apprécie beaucoup vos efforts. Après juste quelques minutes vous m'aviez convaincu que c'est le produit dont j'ai besoin. (Je possède déjà l'Atem Mini original mais ça ne me permet plus de faire ce que je veux au niveau de ses seules sorties hdmi et usb-c. Merci encore ;0)

[@capitalblooper9517]

Amazing Quality. I liie the hints and will try to use them!!

[@mj6962]

Uh, yeah. Big difference between models.a would prefer that one. And did you say you can only dissolve a key up using the computer app? The actual switcher control panel will only do cuts?

[@HussainBarajaa]

Ohh this is going to be the best half an hour in the week

[@mj6962]

What is a stream deck? Is it only and ATEM thing. And just think of the DSK as the very top layer. “Down” from all the other keys and graphics. Everything else will be UNDER IT.

[@gustersongusterson4120]

Great video! Very informative and easy to follow.

[@clash_new_taipei]

Question : in the camera control & PTZ section, the "cameras" referred here are limited to "BMD" cameras only , right ?

[@expensivetechnology9963]

Congratulations Universe! I wish this Frenchman was my friend. At 31:57 ZebraZone mentions his 3rd dislike BRAW lock-in. But he said this no too long after saying that ‘thanks to the BRAW stored by the camera we’ll get a high-quality edit.’ Could someone please help me understand the problem with BRAW lock-in?

Thank you very much for your excelence in presenting this tutorial, very much appreciated. I have one question, how do you go live with the other 3 Upstream keys, If I want to have on key 1 something and on key 2 something else, how to you go live with key 2? Thank you.

[@juliauv]

Thanks for your work!

[@DMProductionsHQ]

If you use the Elgato Stream Deck and set it up so that a video will automatically start/play when you press that programmed button does that eliminate the need for a HyperDeck? Can you setup videos to do that on the Elgato Stream Deck?

I just bought the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. I am having issues switching cameras. It is wanting me to select the camera to cut to, then push the CUT button in order to go to that camera. On my ATEM Mini Pro ISO, I could just click the camera to go to and it would switch instantly. I must me missing something,.

[@myheavensvoice3780]

Hello Zebra, Very nice Tutorial 1111, I just getting started with my Tv show with guest speakers. What ATEM would you advised? and camera choices as well. With a small budget.Thanks

[@kakuito5724]

just realized when those camera control buttons are not pressed, the up and down button control the iris. Do you know if we can lock the camera control button? it goes off after few seconds when it's not controlled.

[@ClarkVangilder]

What was the name of the wireless PTZ software mentioned right after the middle things option? Couldn't hear it clearly.

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

Very cool intro. PRO!

Do I need to plug the internet into the ATEM Mini Extreme if I am using it with my laptop on a Zoom meeting? Thank you for your help.

[@sabrinoor]

haha the intro 👍👍👍

[@chairmankaga101]

Is ethernet required for streaming? We just got a Mini Extreme and it will only push the stream if it's hardwired. Not all of our venues have an accessible physical network so this is a major issue if true. I posted the question on the BM forum and a moderator deleted it immediately. I realize it's an elementary question but I literally can't find an answer anywhere.

[@timothyvictoraldamero4138]

Question, if you will use ATEM, you don't have to use OBS?

[@ayushpodcast]

Can we studio New Hyperdeck Studio instead on Ultra Studio Mini?

[@calebwabwire4081]

Can I send dante audio to the atem mini extreme iso

[@CGYSports]

need help can't get video signal in

[@philippemaraval8445]

Une version française ?

[@jktjkt]

DSK and USK -- think of the signal flow, imagine that you're standing on a bridge over a river. This bridge is your video switcher. The signal starts at the camera (a small creek), which is "upstream" from your position. If you do something upstream, it only affects one of your sources, and not necessarily the final result. That also means that the upstream key is specific to a signal source, and therefore it will (usually) change when you switch to another source. The downstream key, on the other hand, refers to what flows "out of the switcher". No matter what input you select, the "outgoing" transformation, such as your fancy logo, will always stick -- simply because it happens "after" where you're standing. It also affects all sources.

[@bashful228]

[@leonardodaforno6536]

I'm already waiting for "how I made the fabulous intro" video

[@djp_video]

You can adjust the iris by turning OFF all of the other camera control buttons.

[@zebrazone]

Stupid me ! You’re right, that’s incredible !! Wished I would have tried that earlier. Until now I went into the atem software just for the iris each time, not practical. Thanks for the tip, and all your valuable insight on your channel, been following for years. I remember you were there when very few were talking about the ATEM on KZbin , when it was so hard to find any content.

[@j7g]

I assume the use of DSK (Down Stream Key) and USK (Up Stream Key) comes from the world of theatre and how the stage orientation is referred to. Downstage is the front of the stage closest to the audience and Upstage is the backwall of the stage. This comes from the beginning of theatre when stages were on an slope so the back (or the Upstage) of the stage was elevated, this gave actors that were standing Upstage better visibility to the audience. That could be the reason why they would use DSK to be in front of the presenter and the USK to be the behind the presenter.

[@zebrazone]

Interesting insight, thank you!

[@arul.velusamy]

@@zebrazone Your content is great - thank you very much for this! In regards to 'upstream' and 'downstream', these are terms picked up from the reference point of a literal 'stream' (a small, narrow river). Streams normally run from a higher level to a lower level - so 'up stream' is closer to the 'source' and 'down stream' is closer to the 'destination'. Applying this to the broadcasting world, upstream keys are closer to the input (source) and downstream keys are closer to the output (destination). I trust this helps.

[@srbh41413]

Coming from a theater background, that's a great mnemonic for me!

[@ahmadyassin352]

[@TheSanibelCaptivaGuide]

Any thoughts on how to use the two audio inputs on the Atem Mini Extreme? I am coming into the Atem Extreme from a Rodecaster Pro. I had two 1/4" to a single 3.5mm mini on the Atem Mini Pro. I tried setting up the Extreme with two seperate outputs from the Rodecaster Pro but I didnt hear any obvious audio benifits. I thought it may write to left and right channels seperately but you can do that anyway with a single input.

[@michaeldavidfilmsYTS]

USK vs DSK... Like a Photoshop file or like going down a river, Upstream Keys (USK) are "upstream" or closest to the background/starting point of the river. Downstream Keys (DSK) are at the end of the river / the last thing to be added or layered. Thus, DSK's are on top of everything. Also, it important to know with multiple USK's (upstream keys), lower USK's are behind the others.... 1 is behind USK 2 which is behind USK 3 and USK 4 is above them all. Your Downstream key (DSK) is over EVERYTHING, including transitions. So, if you have a bug/logo loaded as a DSK and you press "auto" transition from camera 1 to camera 2 or another source, the logo will remain visible.

[@AmateurBlonde]

Downstream and upstream used to confuse me as well, but I think about it like old video tape to tape recording. Source deck > to > record deck. Signal flow is affected AFTER or DOWNSTREAM - meaning the LAST THING to be affected. It’s a dumb naming scheme and should be abandoned, but there many many people in life that just cannot let go

[@JoeatAlphaCreative]

[@creativeclubstudio5311]

Excellent Presentation ..... I think Black magic people get an idea from How to presentation Product testimonials..... Thank u dear

[@stopandthinknow]

In explaining why "Upstream" is in front and "Downstream" is behind, (which seems counter intuitive) I'm reminded of the theatrical stage directions. "Up Stage" means away to the audience (towards the back of the stage) and "Down Stage" means closer to the audience and footlights. Early theatrical stages were slightly slanted up to allow the audience a better view of the entire stage. Perhaps this is one explanation for the adaption of these video terms.

[@loonie1989]

Dude, first time viewing due to change of career and you're honestly so concicse with the descriptions, NO BULLSHIT whatsoever! An honest pleasure to watch what you've cvreated, thank you kindly for linking and giving creds to other creators. You're a very humble human being! Only criticism, sometimes when watching, as a novice. It was slightly confusing to see the differences when you used your front facing camera as the demo source and switched quickly. But, this really is minor in the grand scheme of the video and the total content. Thank you so much!
