[@curtisjudd]

You are a great instructor. Thank you!

[@photojoseph]

Thank you Curtis. That means a lot coming from you!

[@SwapnilBhartiya]

So are you Curtis.

[@Vidyograf]

Curtis Judd agreed ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bosqueaudiovisual]

@@Vidyograf You too are!

[@Hangs4Fun]

@Curtis Judd Now THAT is a complement, coming from another great instructor...

[@johanneskingma]

Finally found this video that describes the ATEM mini functionality in a comprehensive way.

[@peteparise8875]

Thank you! This switcher is crazy powerful. Your walkthrough is the perfect companion to it.

[@photojoseph]

Thank you kindly for saying so!

[@csabagrunfelder]

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

[@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.

[@ectv96]

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

[@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 👍😁

[@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.

[@photojoseph]

Well then, that’s news to me! Neat!!

[@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!

[@pal2tech]

What an outstanding video. One of the best KZbin tutorials I've ever seen. Really well done sir! 👍

[@photojoseph]

Thank you kindly!

[@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!

[@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 🙏🏻

[@billyperk]

Best Atem Mini tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you

[@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.

[@mnoororie5433]

Simple explanation that was spot on, well done ❤

[@Erika.Nichole.B]

Your videos are blowing me away! Thank you!! Pure awesomeness! I've learned so much. This was exactly what I needed.

[@photojoseph]

Thank you, that’s kind of you to say

[@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).

[@codeultrasounds8557]

Thank you Joseph, that was a perfect explanation! We're pretty sure it will work for our needs. Fingers crossed for Multi-View at some point. (if at all possible)

[@photojoseph]

Right on! Thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@TennesseeSportsNet]

Thank you. I use my ATEM MINI fog live streaming sports. Your videos are a big help.

[@photojoseph]

Right on, I love hearing that!

[@baxonmedia6158]

Man, you are so good in explaining things, thanks a lot, you just conviced me to buy the device

[@photojoseph]

awesome, thanks!

[@GaryStockton]

My ATEM Mini just shipped, so I am very excited to start using it. Great tutorial Joseph.

[@photojoseph]

Awesome, and thanks!

[@amoraquisqueya]

Uff, I though my little Atem Mini was not capable of preview, little did i know now I can!! 🙌🏻

[@photojoseph]

Yes you can! 😃

[@chrisrock340]

This is the best clarification I've seen yet! Thanks!

[@photojoseph]

Thanks!

[@abettencourtmusic]

Absolutely loved this. Seriously looking into ATEM Mini and learning all I can to make an educated decision as to if I should buy it, and this video was clear, really well produced, concise and to the point. Many thanks!

Wow wow just the right video I needed

[@brandonpatterson8517]

Thank you for all the great information! I am currently helping my church set up a live stream system due to Covid 19 and we just ordered the Atem Mini. I can't wait to start playing with it when it gets here.

[@photojoseph]

Sweet! It'll work out great for you; I know this is being used a lot in churches.

[@ericg.43]

Excellent video. Just about to get one of these for my church and you answered ALL of my questions.

[@photojoseph]

Sweet! They are hard to find now, but I believe that the DVE Store has them in stock - try here geni.us/ATEMmini

[@deeskinner9014]

You are a life saver!! Thank you so much, this was exactly what I needed.

[@pietropaloschi7450]

Crazy good quality information! I love KZbin

[@photojoseph]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@TiagoReisYT]

Perfect! Nice explain and helpful tutorial. Thank you, Joseph.

[@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

[@JohnW8823]

Just cancelled my B&H order since its been on backorder for weeks. Ordered from DVE through your link. They say it's available so I have my fingers crossed it will come soon!

[@adryanno]

Amazing stuff on your channel ! Thanks

[@photojoseph]

Thank you!

[@QuicksilverSG]

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

[@PawePiotrowskiUK]

It is a shame that there is no multiview by default! This is one of most important functions in every switcher!

[@photojoseph]

Well… in every switcher starting at $1,000 😁

[@PokeyVids]

It has it now. In the mini pro

[@1BigBucks1]

Incredibly well explained! Great job responding to that issue. BM should link to this video. A bit of extra work since you need to jump through a lot of hoops to enable pvw/pgm and you need a second monitor but it's definitely capable as you showed. Well done.

[@photojoseph]

Thanks!

LIVE saver. Thank you

[@photojoseph]

You're welcome!

[@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!

[@TommyReynolds89]

Dude thank you for the awesome video. I didn’t think you could preview on this device which put me off. Multi view would be nice but at least I can preview a shot before pushing it live. This feature alone has made me want to buy this again. Thank you

[@photojoseph]

Awesome to hear! DVE Store emailed me on Christmas Eve to say they got 50 more in stock… go get it! geni.us/ATEMmini

Awesome tutorial Joseph! Thank you very much!

[@robertnewton8249]

I appreciate your Video where I am trying to do

[@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.

Mine is still on back order. I have a preorder everywhere lol. I want this thing so bad. Great video man. Thanks for the info. Because of your videos I think the Mini is enough for my needs the pro would be nice but not needed. Would love to see the preview in a update.

[@vishalpatelful]

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.

[@valquireveljkovic]

[@agapechurchofsandiego5026]

You're awesome coach.. Thank you!

[@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.
