[@andreaskugel8575]

When you are with the ATEM Control Software in the Output tab you will see Drive 1 and Drive 2 in the record-settings. Here you can select the volumes to use for Drive 1 and 2. You also have a switch button to toggle between then Drives. Than you can remove the SD card or select an other drive and switch back if the Volume is full or you instantly need the material for playback, replay or what ever.

[@modtl]

Thank you so much for your tutorial! We had the ATEM Mini Pro installed in our church but when we plugged in drives into the USB-C output the light just went amber. Thanks to your detailed video we worked out we needed to format our drives to exFAT (they were in FAT32) and we have successfully recorded our first Eucharist service today. Many weeks of head scratching and buying different drives was solved thanks to you! :)

Glad you got it working

[@steveliddle8417]

exFAT is the required format for drives over 32GB. It's in the manual.

Great video man! thanks for sharing. I was looking for how to record from an Atem mini Pro and this one helped me a lot. I've got a question that you may be able to quickly answer 😅. I've got an event to cover and I'd like to record with 3 cameras, there's no need for streaming, although I'd like to have the Atem in place to monitor the 3 cameras at the same time. My question is, how do you get the recording from Atem into de drive? What I mean is, is it going to record 3 separate video files (one from each camera) or is it going to mix them into one long video with the shot of each camera you have 'live' or selected with the Atem? Hope it makes sense. What I want is to be able to monitor what's happening in every camera all the time (no need to switch between them) and be able to record all in one place, like your SSD for example. Looking forward to hearing from you! Hope you can help me with this😀 Liked and subscribed!

[@AJaytheCEO]

With the base mini pro you will only get the master program out. You would need the ISO version to have the individual and master output. I use the ISO for events for this very reason

[@germanucar]

@@AJaytheCEO Amazing! I'm going to test the ISO version then. That should be fine to cover this event 👍🏼 Appreciate your time and help!

[@germanucar]

@@AJaytheCEO another question has been raised regarding the operations with the Atem Mini Pro ISO. I've got Sony cameras, I'm gonna have 3 connected to the Atem, have you used third party cameras (not BMD cameras). When you do so, when you want to record, would you leave the cameras filming on an SD as well as back up? or you'd just configurate their parameters, set the angles and hit the record button from the Atem ISO to get the 3 outputs? Thanks again man, you are the master on this, hope you can help with this one as well. Have a nice one! 👊🏼

You cannot use both at the same time. Either you connect to the computer via USB or a harddrive. If you still want to control the atem, connect it to your network via ethernet and then you can control it from any computer on the same network with the software.

Ajay, great tutorial. Quick question for you: I recently purchased an ATEM mini pro which will be arriving in a week. I purchased a usb c to HDMI and USB converter hub which I plan to plug in at the back of the board to record to en external hard drive and connect to the computer for the ATEM software. Is the ATEM able to perform both functions through the hub? (Record and control ATEM software) I would just use the software via Ethernet but router is located in garage and I can’t access it without the greatest deal of difficulty. Great content.

[@MountAthosandAquinas]

I think I answered my own question by looking at others responses. Since hubs aren’t “bidirectional” it seems you can only have data going out to thumb drive but not data coming in to control ATEM by the software. If this is the case, can I plug ATEM into computer (that runs on wifi) and talk to the software that way instead of running Ethernet all the way to the garage?

[@AJaytheCEO]

Sadly no it can't do both functions through a hub. Hook up the external drive after setting up everything via USB c. Then connect to the atem mini via your network via Ethernet

[@AJaytheCEO]

Exactly

[@MountAthosandAquinas]

@@AJaytheCEO Thanks Ajay. Do I have to run Ethernet all the way to the router or can the ATEM communicate with the network if I plug into my computer?

Hi Ajay, Ruben here from Luxembourg... I was wondering, we have recently bought the Atem Mini and we are using OBS at the same time.

Knowing your recent experience with the Atem Mini Pro, do you find it is really a game changer? If so, could you please let us know why? God bless, Ruben

[@computerjantje]

if your computer with obs can keep up recording or broadcasting in 1080p, then there is no need to upgrade from atem mini to atem mini pro. Unless you want to simplify things. With the atem mini pro you can broadcast directly and so you will not need a computer with OBS. On the other hand where do you want to broadcast to? The atem mini pro can standard broadcast to youtube, facebook and one other I forgot. It is possible to hack the xml file and use other broadcast websites but that requires some extra knowledge and then it is not simplefying.

When using the hub to record with the Mini Pro, is it possible to also connect the computer to the hub and use both devices?

Yes you can

[@cj9design]

This was exactly what I’ve been trying to figure out! Thanks. What ssd drives do they recommend for smooth recording

[@AJaytheCEO]

The SanDisk extreme 500gb is what i use

[@ericw357]

@@AJaytheCEO Is your SanDisk extreme 500gb working at software 8.5.2? Mine stopped working at 8.5.1 and above. So I am stuck at 8.5.0 if I want to keep using mine.

[@AJaytheCEO]

@@ericw357 yes mine is still working on 8.5.2

Do you know if any USB C splitter would allow connecting to a mac and drive at the same time? I currently am using the USB c to connect to my mac to control.

[@AJaytheCEO]

No splitter will work as the usb direction is one way. Connecting a hub brings connections into the atem or vic versa

[@TozeCerdeira]

Can you make a video recording to a PC for using on Movie studio? or Adobe Premier? Thanks

[@MosesFrancis8]

Can I split the USB C webcam out to my Mac (For zoom) AND also record to Sandisk SSD at the same time?

[@AJaytheCEO]

No you can't. It is one or the other coming directly from the ATEM

[@MosesFrancis8]

@@AJaytheCEO Thanks!

[@MosesFrancis8]

@@AJaytheCEO do you have any recommendation on how to record if I want to use the USB c for Zoom?

[@AJaytheCEO]

@@MosesFrancis8 do a screen capture of everything in obs and record it that way

[@capturesamoa7653]

Hi Bro..please just a question, can I connect two laptops using the hub.. for live stream using obs, please

[@AJaytheCEO]

Sorry no you cannot

[@stowgood]

This is very helpful. Can you record and connect to a laptop and use the ATEM as a webcam while still recording? (I wanted to do this without using Ethernet if possible)

[@AJaytheCEO]

Sadly, no you cannot if you are using the live stream through the USB connection

[@stowgood]

@@AJaytheCEO oh crap.

[@kanalgladsaxetv7876]

which USB Hubs are you using send a link so I can buy it

[@Morpheus170]

Nice video, can you record and stream at the same time? Like connecting a hub, then your drive, and your computer?

[@AJaytheCEO]

No you cannot. Either you use a drive and hub to record or connect to your computer directly but not both

[@Morpheus170]

@@AJaytheCEO I figured it out already. You can connect your SSD drive to your USB-C and a network cable straight to your computer.

[@sonyssomar]

Is there a way to record to an SSD/SD Card while also getting to use that output as webcam to Zoom or any other streaming platforms?

[@AJaytheCEO]

No there is no way to do this with the atem directly

[@sonyssomar]

@@AJaytheCEO I assume from your response, there's an indirect way? What would I need if I wanna do that?

[@jojoxmars]

Why does the video look like that when there is movement? Can someone let me know?

[@AraujoDemetrios]

hi would this work to records to an external drive and computer at the same time

[@AJaytheCEO]

No

[@rationalryan954]

can you connect a hub and still send out to the computer?

[@AJaytheCEO]

No you can't

Welcome

[@TechBytesRN]

Thanks for creating the video. Have you been able to find a way to remotely access the ssd while it is connected to atem mini pro ? I shoot my videos in multiple segments so if there is a problem, i only to reshoot one segment instead of the whole video. I would like to be able to delete a segment I am replacing without having to unplug the ssd from the mini pro, connect it to a pc/mac, delete the segment in question, unplug the ssd and reconnect it to the mini pro.

[@AJaytheCEO]

Sadly you can't do this but that seems like a simple change in the code to be able to read from the files recorded like the hyperdeck studio does

[@lagloriadedios_intl]

Do I need to record with OBS to my computer or can I use another program? The audio from OBS sounds horrible on my system.

[@AJaytheCEO]

You could just use a thumbdrive with the Mini Pro

[@emmadavis]

Can I use the USB C from the dongle to connect to my MacBook, USB C to USB C, and then the extra USB A to connect to a drive?

[@AJaytheCEO]

that should work
