Live Demo: ATEM Mini HDMI Switcher by Blackmagic Design

[@guaranteedmedia]

u are the only one with the most understandable video and easy for everyone 90%

[@firearmshistorian]

Fantastic video! I appreciate the no-nonsense and non-sales-y exploration of this powerful little unit.

[@apexmonk3670]

Thanks for taking time to demo features and transitions 👍

[@Tolu.Ogb234]

Great video. I work with the production crew at my church and we use a similar board for camera switching. I found this video useful and I hope I can translate what I've learned to the actual switcher during rehearsals.

[@enochmichael909]

Hi sir, could you use this during live streaming

[@xj9abba]

@@enochmichael909 I think you could because, that’s what is made for sir

[@go.dalida]

Can this work if combination of multiple input in one single scene? Like on top of each other (for example the one was lyrics presented from other computer overlayed to the camera feed).

[@ques4estas]

How do you manage the sound? What's the music set up like?

[@JADURCA]

Great! So the outro with the red background Lens Pro logo was added in the program and then streamed?

[@reluctanticon]

This was superb...thank you

[@jasonrodney2305]

This video is very helpful to me for my setup. Thanks.

[@suite141]

Great video! Did you record this as a livestream or a screen capture? How did you get the image to be so clear? I've been running into issues where the bitrate causes livestreams to be fuzzy/pixelated.

[@dustinelian4098]

[@alexisgc33]

yes, i have the same question too. How can you natively record the stream? I'm guessing he might using the Atomos Ninja?

[@TheR00M]

@@alexisgc33 you could install and use OBS and focus on recording. (But you’ll need a good camera setup as well, good luck )

[@Niberspace]

This must be a paid review, no mention whatsoever that this is only 1080p

[@timjohnson8871]

Nicely done

[@westcork]

Thanks for the great informative video.

[@JamesDoylesGarage]

Does the software come with the switcher? Thank you

[@Mr_Boykin]

Buttons are a bit loud but it’s cool overall!

[@BubbasgarageTv]

Great review. Do you happen to have a video talking about the audio setup. I have heard that running the audio through the device causes audio video sync issues?

[@lensprotogo]

I don't, BUT I will mention here that all of the audio recorded from the switcher was delayed by 4 frames! The audio came from mic jack #1 from a wireless lav

[@BurninSven1]

Depending on how you hook up your audio you would or would not get a delay. If you hook up an unbalanced mixer to the line in 1 or two you get no delay since the audio and video enters the mini the same time. With a mixer you can add as many mics your mixer can handle and you got two line in ports = one more mixer or unbalanced souncard.

[@BurninSven1]

This is some clips I put together from testing my mini while livestreaming kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6Dadp2LqqapfJY

[@SilverLiningDayDreams]

if I use the video cameras built in microphone will I get that 4 second delay?

[@SilverLiningDayDreams]

[@turfin2003]

We do a lot corporate events at our bar. Most of the time we do a logo or multiple on a slide show. Been using google slides for those. Someone mentioned getting one of these instead. Thoughts?

[@BurninSven1]

If you absolutely want XLR inputs just get a mixer with XLR inputs and line out outputs and there you have it. For any small production four cams are enough but for audio you might want to use an external multichannel mixer. Any critical audio processing is taking place in the mixer and the switcher only passes the audio through.

[@TheElismaShow]

Why is your video so clear and crispy? I am using a BM studio 4k, but I use it with vmix software. I can't get it to be as clear as yours. What do you do?

[@MagicFootprints]

Hi there, great vid! I have a question, does it support multiview on it's HDMI output?

[@leesha.1998]

I have a question? Are you able to use it to put words at the bottom of the screen while we are live?

[@techniclego]

Thanks for the video! Can this device or its software automatically switch the camera sources randomly like a demo?

[@supportitservices6349]

Thanks

[@BaobabEntrepreneur]

How can I get the software

[@ericbiondi9152]

Great vid! Is it possible to use this if I’ve got cameras on the stream from multiple locations? Ie a friend in another state? Can’t figure out the dif between what this does and what an encoder like vmix can do (besides graphics)

[@SilverLiningDayDreams]

if I use the video cameras built in microphone will I get that 4 second delay between video and audio?

[@MonarchIdea]

If we have hdmi switcher do we still need capture card?

[@mikeyama7277]

Could you you see the preview of all the connected cameras on Vimix? or do you have to use their software?? also if you send stereo audio from the camera via hdmi, are you able to control 2 separate channels on the switcher? or would it work on Vmix, programing the audio keys to control vmix?

[@nonegations]

Could you connect this to an audio interface?

[@lensprotogo]

Yes but only if you can get your audio signal into the ATEM through a 3.5mm mic jack or HDMI... no XLR's on this unit

[@JasonLeaman]

Does this thing record to your computer via USB c ? or internally ?

[@quantellindsey]

How do you power this off?

[@davo0593]

The hdmi output it's just for preview? Or can be assigned to output sources or even program?

[@tonofcol7103]

You can assign it to any of the 4 inputs, or set it as a preview

[@lensprotogo]

You can assign it to any input, Multiview (big feature that regular Mini doesn't have), or Program View

[@galtidea]

Great video. Question: Can the HDMI out (or any other optional output) run into a dongle for iPhone? Amazon Live only allows iPhones right now and I'd like to have multiple cameras running. This would work perfectly if the output can be converted to Lightening for iPhone. Thanks

[@lensprotogo]

I have not had luck with things like this in the past, but I haven't tried in a long time and I have more faith in iPhone than Android. Good luck!

[@HughMc74]

Does this work with any hdmi camera source or does it have to be “clean” hdmi?

[@lensprotogo]

For all non-BMD cameras (e.g Ursa, BMPC6K) it has to be clean HDMI. Right now it only tethers to BMD cameras and with those it retrieves the clean HDMI on it's own

[@joshuafurnish186]

so the with black magic switcher can it work other brand cameras or just black magic??

[@itsBlakeWright]

I just got this in hopes of being able to use it to record multicam so that I can post edit. Is that an option with this model?

[@cgonzt5636]

2023 now is it still good buy?

[@christopherknowles8162]

Love the ATEM just retire from ZNS ZNS television in the Bahamas....very intrested in an ATEM setup.

[@MarcLouiseStaMaria-h3m]

Hi, I'm having a hard time figuring out why only my input 1 is working, while inputs 2, 3, and 4 are not that's why I'm not able to use my other media sources. Can you help me? Thanks

[@სექსუალურიცხვარი]

Can I use it as an external HDMI capture card for my PC?

[@earmbristerjr]

can this be configured with two wireless camera with Wireless Video Transmitters?

[@lensprotogo]

Yes, as long as they go HDMI in

[@ELPASTORAPOSTOLICO]

Can I stream live without a computer just with an iPad using that device ???

[@hypestereooodjroad_runner9929]

Hi im Looking for a camera switcher ie either the atem mini or would a stream deck be ok whats better thanks

[@SansP3ur]

Do you know what the diff is with the more expensive versions (Pro & Pro ISO)?

[@lensprotogo]

seems like the Pro added a lot of internal stuff like stream metadata and much support for recording out to SSD. And the big draw to the Pro ISO is that it simultaneously creates a DaVinci resolve project along with your live stream, physically the same as the Pro

[@electrocat9]

Big draw you mean drawback? Why

[@DJJASProductions]

so you can use the USB-C as the output to go into software like OBS? The USB-C acts as one live webcam?

[@lensprotogo]

yes exactly, the entire output of this unit goes through that USB-C and then your computer/software recognizes it as a webcam

[@ericelliotwilliams1958]

Can this video switcher handle a 4k hdmi cord? Because I tried it and my device keeps saying no signal

[@georgejefferson1826]

can I use my iPhone cam with this?

[@Giorginho]

How are you doing audio on this?

[@nazeermuhammadkabir4146]

Hello How can i use this Video Switch with the IP cameras/ Ptz camera thank you.

[@SecondCircleMedia]

Can I connect it to a sony zv1

[@juliusbautista6244]

Doest it have multi view at once?

[@juliusbautista6244]

Like spilt screen?

[@brentmurphy4702]

is this switcher compatible with the Sony a7iii? (-:

[@jessedameron7985]

For using a mirrorless/DSLR camera in 1080p mode at 30fps to do Zoom conferences: Do you know how the video quality of the Blackmagic ATEM Mini compares to the Magewell Capture HDMI Gen 12 and/or the Elgato Cam Link? If I want to minimize latency, am I better off getting an internal computer card like the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Card? I heard complaints about certain capture cards that use some form of jpeg compression that reduces the video image quality. Does that really matter? Does a device using USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 make any difference in latency? (I know the Blackmagic ATEM Mini is a switcher with extra features, but at this temporary point, I'm just trying to understand differences in latency and video quality for each device using 1 mirrorless/DSLR camera.) Thanks.

[@willdyckll8639]

Can you help me problem solve my tally late issue?

[@hatkehitesh8547]

still option???

[@modelsclameater]

Can I connect this to a smart TV?

[@lensprotogo]

Yes, in my video on the Mini Extreme ISO, all of the nature/screensaver shots were from an Apple TV via 50ft HDMI

[@frankrice3213]

Primary purchase use is for multiple-camera input & switching. Why didn't you demonstrate that? A demo showing multi-cam switching for a device such as this one is infinitely more useful than 5:57 "transition tour."

[@kamspillai]

can we have chroma key on this atem mini hdmi switcher by blackmagic

[@edrefducusin4359]

Can you give sample of keying

[@EricBlair-jg2ux]

that transition demo looked super awkward lol, why not describe the transitions as you were doing them?

[@theerthabiju5659]

✌️

[@cluelessfish]

I wounder if Riot would consider this an cheat device as well since they already block a lot of capture card devise so i found out the hard way. I am going to have to use an 2nd pc with capture card in it the NDI back to my main pc for muticam view all for one game .. might have to borrow one of these to give it an go all for wanting to use my external camers for mutiview ingame LOL yes i could use 2 webcames but meh
