Blackmagic Design announced a new lower price for ATEM Mini Pro live production switchers. The ATEM Mini Pro is now reduced to US$295, and the ATEM Mini Pro ISO model is reduced to US$495.

ATEM Mini switchers allow for on-premise, multicamera productions for livestreaming to YouTube and presentations using Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Skype. They can switch up to four video camera inputs or connect a computer for PowerPoint slides or gaming consoles. The built-in DVE allows picture-in-picture effects. ATEM Mini has a built-in hardware streaming engine for livestreaming via Ethernet, or stream via the USB which also works like a webcam. There’s also HDMI out for projectors. Microphone inputs allow desktop and lapel mics for interviews and presentations.

ATEM Mini has a built-in hardware streaming engine for livestreaming via its Ethernet connections without the need for a computer. That means customers can livestream to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch. If users are technically minded, customers can update the streaming profiles in an XML settings file to load new services.

If customers are doing live production on location, then ATEM Mini supports connecting an Apple or Android smartphone to the USB port to use mobile data. Phone tethering also works with the latest high-speed 5G phones plus the more common 4G phones.

The ATEM Mini ISO models allow customers to edit their live event as they can record multiple video streams, including clean feeds of all inputs and program, all at the same time. Media pool images used are also saved with the video files. The video files include metadata tags such as synced timecode and camera numbers. Imagine re-editing their show with new color grades, effects and graphics. Even the audio sources are all recorded so customers can professionally remix their audio.

The ISO models also save a DaVinci Resolve project file, so with a single click customers can open their live production as a video edit. All cuts, dissolves and media pool graphics will be loaded. This means customers can fine tune edit points or even completely replace shots. The DaVinci Resolve Sync Bin lets customers select new shots via a multiview so it’s very easy to use. Customers can even relink to Blackmagic RAW camera files for adding professional color correction and finishing in Ultra HD.
