Each input has discrete frame rate and format converters and supports re-sync for seamless switching between a variety of pro and consumer cameras, gaming consoles, and computer feeds.

Switching, adding effects, color grading and keying can be done in real time using the control panel buttons or via the software panel. CCU functions are available for controlling Blackmagic Studio and URSA Mini/Broadcast/Micro Studio cameras from the switcher. The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO supports up to nine layers, with four upstream and two downstream keyers, up to four chroma keyers, up to four linear keyers, two DVE with borders and drop shadow, five pattern generators and two color generators. Designed for live streaming or webcam production, the Atem Mini Extreme ISO has HDMI outputs to feed monitors and supports up to 16 screen multiview.

Live streaming

Live stream to YouTube, Facebook Live, Skype, Twitch, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and other platforms that support RTMP protocols.

Control interface

The front panel features easy-to-use buttons for selecting sources, video effects, and transitions. The source buttons are large, so you can operate them by feel. The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO features controls for audio mixing, recording, and streaming, as well as output selection buttons that let you switch video output between cameras, program, and multiview. The rear panel features HDMI connections for cameras or computers, auxiliary microphone inputs, USB for webcam out, plus an HDMI “AUX” output for program video.

Output

You can output via the Ethernet port on your network or use the USB Type-C output to have your switched show recognized as a webcam input by almost any video software such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster and others.

4G and 5G phone support

If you’re doing a live production on location, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO supports connecting an Apple or Android phone to the USB port for mobile data. It’s also a great backup to your main Ethernet connection so your stream won’t drop if your wired connection is interrupted. The switcher will automatically switch to your phone as the primary connection and the USB port will also power your phone so it won’t drain your battery.

Multiview monitoring

You can configure the HDMI output for multiview with 4, 7, 10, 13, maximum 16 displays, including Program, Preview, eight HDMI inputs, SuperSource, clean feed, media player, streaming status, recording status and audio meters.

Camera control

The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO can control the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models when updated to the latest software and connected via the HDMI inputs. You can control your HDMI camera settings such as iris, gain, focus, detail, and zoom control on compatible lenses. Additionally, you can color balance cameras and create unique looks with the DaVinci Resolve primary color corrector built into the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K.

Media pool

The switcher can store up to 20 images with fill and key and supports PNG, TGA, BMP, GIF, JPEG and TIFF file formats.

Compatibility

The switcher ships with the ATEM Software Control Panel and is also compatible with the ATEM 1 M/E, ATEM 2 M/E and ATEM 4 M/E Advanced Panels. The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO can be configured using Blackmagic's Videohub Hardware Panel Setup Utility to route sources to destinations using Videohub Smart Control Pro and Videohub Master Control Pro.

Intake

The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO supports direct recording from all 8 inputs simultaneously to USB flash drives. Multi-drive recording is also supported via a USB hub or the Blackmagic MultiDock, so if one drive becomes full recording can continue to a second drive for non-stop recording. Recording settings and drive selection are set in ATEM Software Control, and recording status is displayed in the built-in multiview. You can even trigger recording on connected Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras.

Video effects

One of the advantages of the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO is the professional production value that is possible with the range of built-in video effects. The cut button provides an instant cut when switching between sources. The auto button is a professional term used on large broadcast switchers to enable video effect transitions. There are duration buttons for video effects that allow you to set 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 seconds. You can also select the type of effect you want, including mix, which creates a smooth transition between sources, and dip, which fades through a color as you switch between sources.

Audio

With two independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs you can connect desktop and lapel microphones, or you can connect a music player to generate introductory music after the live stream has started but before the program begins. With two additional stereo audio inputs you can ensure a presenter and guest both have a lapel microphone during an interview. All audio inputs to the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO feature on-panel controls to adjust audio level and enable inputs into the audio mixer. All models feature a Fairlight audio mixer with all HDMI inputs and both microphone inputs are connected to the audio mixer, allowing you to mix live from all audio sources. The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO also adds a headphone output.

Broadcast functions

The ATEM Mini Extreme models include a host of broadcast quality features that are accessible when connected to a Mac or Windows computer using the free ATEM Software Control app.
