Thank you kindly for saying so!

Incredible good instructions! Thank you! I am brand new to ATEM Mini and just fund your video and all my problems gone!

[@ectv96]

after years using atem mini, i just know that atem mini also can do this. wow, thanks!

[@sethblack4159]

Very helpful video! One thing I might add is that in order to get into the ATEM setup settings, you must be connected via USB. Those settings will be greyed out if you're just connected over ethernet. But if you access them with USB, you can then go in there and enable the settings to also be available over ethernet.

[@curtvincent3728]

I am an audio guy, big time. But I am a video noob and have been forced into the video game with COVID. I got the ATEM Mini and then had to learn how to use it. I have watched this particular video about 3 times but after the third time the light bulb went off and it all just stuck and I now have it "locked and loaded." That tells me that Joseph's tutorial was excellent and I just needed to catch up! Well done and thank you!

[@photojoseph]

haha that's awesome. Yep, sometimes it takes a few, but I'm glad you got it in the end!

[@diverdown68]

Finally!! As primarily a live event tech, who often is running a switcher, with graphics/video sources and camera ops, at a distance. I have been trying to find out about the possible preview abilities of this unit ever since it was released! Felt like I was trying to find the Grail! Concise, Clear and Comprehensive... Thank-you so much 👍😁

[@MelVeeBroadcastingNetwork]

You are a life save on the Preview options was so frustrated, bit knowing how to select program preview. Your video enabled me to change that and do a few things on the Atem Mini Pro ISO. Thank you so much.

[@EreniaG]

great tutorial! helping my church with live streaming and I am using the Atem mini with VMix program. hope I can work this with my setting. Thank you!

[@photojoseph]

You're welcome, Erenia!

[@OnYourLeft]

The ATEM Mini ISO and Mini Pro both have Multiview, but I can see the regular ATEM Mini does not. Another interesting thing to note, on the Mini Pro and Mini ISO, you can press and hold the PGM button to enable Preview Out on the HDMI output.

[@mnoororie5433]

Can you make a video to explain please

[@billyperk]

Best Atem Mini tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you

[@FelixJacomino]

This is an invaluable video! So well done, straight to the point, clearly planned and executed. Many thanks from this newbie!

[@photojoseph]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@Xero_Wolf]

Mannn got so excited with the first review. While no multi-view in not necessarily a deal breaker it is a feature you normally expect switchers o have. Hope they do add it in a future update.

[@photojoseph]

I think given the price, it's unlikely they will add it (even if the hardware can handle it). It'd destroy their $1,000 switcher market. I think it's pretty legit NOT to have it at this price point, considering the target market (people making self-produced shows).

[@mnoororie5433]

Simple explanation that was spot on, well done ❤

[@AmauryJacquot]

the atems are based on xilinx zinq fpgas, there may not be enough hardware resources in the particular chip used to add the multiview feature. the format adaptation feature on each input may use up all those resources.

[@photojoseph]

Fair enough. I’m trying to put together an hacked-up multiview solution for those who want to put in the effort and not spend the money ;-)

[@photojoseph]

Yeah if you’re gonna go with that many adapters… just get a bigger ATEM or alternative. It’s silly to piecemeal this too much, I think.

[@AmauryJacquot]

Hola amigo , el Atem mini sdi , NO tiene Multi View , tiene solucion ?????

[@hyperbolicfilms]

Really nice and clear explanation, thanks so much! I am so used to having Multi-view with Vmix and a Decklink Duo that I'm not sure I can live without it.

[@photojoseph]

Yeah once you're used to that it's tough to go without. But remember that this device is really designed for, I'd say, self-broadcasts. No producer, no one doing the switching for you.

[@hyperbolicfilms]

PhotoJoseph Yeah, it’s definitely very powerful for the money. Just did a 24 hour live stream using a Roland V-60, and it was fantastic but overpowered for a 3 camera simple show. I wish there was a way to get the Mini for a day of testing before purchasing. Might just take the shot since it is so affordable.

[@photojoseph]

Given the price, it's an easy buy. And you can always return it if it really doesn't work out. I think that DVEStore still has them in stock, if no one else does: geni.us/ATEMmini

[@timhughes4259]

Thank Joseph, this is exactly what I was looking for! Very well explained :) I'm in the process of configuring my ATEM mini and got stuck on how to setup preview on the device itself and leave the USB C for webcam output only. It's going to be important not to combine streaming and software control on the same computer via USB. If I do need the software control then I connect an alternate computer via the network. Multiview would be cool for what I need but not essential.

[@photojoseph]

Glad this video could hep!

[@QuicksilverSG]

Looks like the ATEM Mini's HDMI "Output" menu is what other ATEM models call the "AUX" output.

[@suenembhard2352]

Thank you. This video was very helpful as I had the problem of not being able to switch between preview and program from the device. Could only do it from the laptop/software.

[@photojoseph]

Awesome! Yeah it's kind of hidden… not sure why it's in the setup app and not the main app!

[@jdijulio1]

Thanks for this video. I know the ATEM Mini Pro is just starting to hit the market, any changes you are aware of in terms of the USB-C webcam output with the Pro? In particular, I'm hoping that I can do multiview output via USB-C while still being able to maintain program output via HDMI. The reason why is this would allow me to do two things: A) Send the program output to my Atomos Ninja V and from that also daisy chain a "return" monitor to as well (so the talent in front of the camera can look down and able to see which camera is being broadcast). Another potential reason to have program output via HDMI would be to use a projector to have the program view shown to an audience, etc. B) Still allow me to have OBS running (for nothing more than a "multi-view monitor") so while I am preparing to cut between shots, I can make sure the talent is in-frame before putting it on air. The problem would be if I you can only have multi-view output via HDMI. If so, then I can't then send that USB-C-based program output to the recorder nor return monitor nor projector. Unless, perhaps, the ATEM Mini Pro supports something other than what the original ATEM Mini supported - known as "UVC v1.5" output - via USB-C. If they are using a newer version of UVC on the ATEM Mini Pro, perhaps I could use this handy little adapter (www.febon.net/products/uvc-to-hdmi-uvc-to-ios) to convert this "webcam" output into an HDMI signal...? If you have any hot-off-the-press details on the multi-view capabilities via USB-C on the ATEM Mini Pro (either multiview support via USB-C -or- a newer standard of UVC on the USB-C port), would love to know! And thanks again for the great video! PS: I know the ATEM Mini Pro will let you record to the USB-C connection (which is super nifty in any of itself). If I didn't want to use an HDMI return monitor to show program output (or be able to hook up a projector), I could probably ditch the Atomos all together and just record to USB-C. But it can never be that easy.

[@photojoseph]

This is way too long of a comment for me to read and respond to. Please watch my video on the ATEM Mini Pro kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpbGhqOAaNpmj5Y and if you still have questions, book some time with me photojoseph.com/1to1

[@HowardOlsen]

GREAT VIDEO, The best I've seen. Perhaps you could shoot a vid on this because there are a lot of us out there: How to use Aten Mini to broadcast PowerPoint over zoom with Picture in Picture of presenter on / beside the slide. At the moment I just use OBS to set up scenes and send the composite video over to Zoom through OBS virtual cam. Perhaps this is the best way and Aten is overkill, or perhaps Aten is a better way.... I don't know. One thing for sure I don't want to clutter my desk with multiple pcs. Ideally I'd like to do everything off my laptop (Zoom, PowerPoint) and maybe just get a small external monitor for previewing the Aten. I'd love to know the best way to do this as a regular Zoom Presenter.

[@photojoseph]

If you’re using Zoom, why not just share your screen and put slides there? Use the tools Zoom has for presenting slides?

[@HowardOlsen]

@@photojoseph Because screensharing in Zoom reduces the presenter to a small square in the upper right corner. I've been using OBS to create a PiP with me on a greenscreen transparent beside the slide. That may still be the best way to go... Thanks

ATEM Mini is good but only for those who have 3 or 4 camera setups and they are aware of what their camera is capturing, probably 3 camera soccer match setup. Multiview is much needed for this ATEM Mini.

[@photojoseph]

Well, yes, it only has four inputs. The target market for this $300 ATEM is not people with more cameras and a multi-view requirement.

[@videolife.youtube]

[@DavidMonostori]

Thank you for this. that output select on the top menu is just so dumb. Why is that not an option in the software control? Drove me crazy for 2 days and didn't know what was wrong.

[@photojoseph]

You have to understand that this is a miniature version of a much, much bigger product. Sometimes those menus that don't make sense at this scale are a lot more logical when it's bigger. My big ATEM has four of those outputs and it's incredible to be able to separately determine what goes through them.

Hi friend, the Atem mini sdi does NOT have Multi View, is there a solution?

[@photojoseph]

There’s really no workaround for not having multiview. You could buy a dedicated multiview monitor with four inputs and four outputs but it’s probably a LOT cheaper to just buy an ATEM SDI Pro ISO.

[@KelechiApugo]

thank you very much. Although I am watching this after 4 years, there is till a lot to learn from this video. Please is there anyway to preview using the Atem software. i.e show the preview on your Macbook?

[@photojoseph]

Thanks for watching. There’s a couple ways you could get the ATEM video on your computer screen. If you are controlling the ATEM over the network, then you can use the USB output to connect to a WebCam software or OBS. That will show you the program. However, if you want the preview or the multiview, then the only way to do that is to use one of the AGEM HDMI outputs and run that into a HDMI to USB converter and then into your computer and again use OBS or something like that to see it.

[@westyorksshutterbug]

These are excellent videos thanks. My ATEM Mini arrives tomorrow. I have a number of cameras but note that you said that you had linked your GoPro - was that directly plugged into the HDMI port on the ATEM Mini pls?

[@harryebbeson]

[@mrmcrobbkdc4001]

The HDMI Output on my ATEM MINI doesn't work as it should. In the ATEM Software Control, the 'Camera 1 Direct' option works, but none of the others do. I'd like to have the HDMI output as 'Preview' mode, so I can see the camera I am about to switch to. Have tried every available combination of different cameras, different HDMI cables, have tried two different output screens(projector and computer monitor), even tried putting a powered HDMI splitter between the HDMI Output and the screens. I saw on the BM forum that others have experienced this too, but I didn't see a fix - surely they have sorted this out!?! The ATEM Mini Firmware is at 8.6.1 It is the original, most basic ATEM Mini Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thankyou.

[@photojoseph]

Try a reset of the hardware. Put it in recovery mode by holding down the upper left “ON” button while connecting to power. That puts it into a state where a firmware update is required. Make sure you have latest firmware installed first (you don’t now).
