The ATEM Mini switcher can create professional multi-camera products for real-time streaming, and includes a built-in DVE for picture-in-picture effects. There are also video effects. All ATEM Mini models have USB, which acts like a webcam, so customers can use any streaming software, while ATEM Mini Pro and ATEM Mini Extreme models can add real-time streaming and recording functions to the USB disk. There is also an HDMI output for the projector. The microphone input allows high-quality desktop and lapel microphones for interviews and presentations.
The design of ATEM Mini includes control panel and connections. The front panel includes easy-to-use buttons for selecting signal sources, video effects and transitions. The source button is large, so you can use it by feeling to allow the presenter to switch. Customers can even get buttons for audio mixing. On the ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme models, customers can also get buttons for recording and streaming media control, as well as output selection buttons that allow customers to change the video output between cameras, programs, and multi-views. On the rear panel there is an HDMI connection for a camera or computer, additional microphone input, USB for camera output, and HDMI "auxiliary" output for program video.
The ATEM Mini Pro and ATEM Mini Extreme models have a built-in hardware streaming engine that allows real-time streaming through their Ethernet connection. Just select the streaming service and enter the streaming key. There is a palette for flow settings in the ATEM software control, and the flow status is also displayed in the multi-view. The streaming status is easy to understand because the data rate indicator shows the Internet speed required by the video format that the user is using. If the user is considered from a technical point of view, the customer can update the stream configuration file in the XML settings file to load the new service.
If users make live productions on site, ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme models support connecting Apple or Android phones to USB ports to use mobile data. It is also a backup of the main Ethernet connection. The phone sharing function can be used with the latest high-speed 5G phones and the more common 4G phones. The ATEM switcher will automatically detect when the phone is connected and switch its internet connection to use it without changing the settings. Once connected, the phone will be powered through the USB port, so it can still be charged through the switcher.
