These are compatible USB-C recording Drive for Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro, Extreme and Extreme ISO
The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO is an 8-channel HDM live production switcher that is perfect for live streaming. It features an integrated control panel and advanced broadcast capabilities, allowing you to live stream over RTMP protocols or output your program through USB as if it were a camera. Additionally, the Extreme ISO has the added functionality of recording 9 separate H.264 video streams in real-time, allowing you to capture all 8 clean feed inputs as well as program footage. The project is also stored as a DaVinci Resolve project file, allowing it to be easily edited and reproduced later.
With 8 HDMI inputs, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO allows for multiple camera connections for different viewpoints. These HDMI cameras, with their superior image quality and low-light sensitivity, are a better option than basic webcams. If the video sources run at various video standards, the switcher will automatically re-sync them, eliminating the need to worry about connecting video devices. Interchangeable lenses are a common feature in HDMI cameras, allowing you to switch between wide-angle and zoom lenses for a variety of shots. These cameras' low-light capabilities make them ideal for use in events such as theatrical plays, weddings, school performances, and music videos.
Extreme ISO Features:
The ATEM Mini Extreme models offer a unique feature for live streaming enthusiasts - a built-in hardware streaming engine. This means that users can live stream to popular platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch with improved quality and ease of use. Simply select the desired streaming service and enter the streaming key, and you're ready to go. The ATEM Software Control offers palettes for streaming setup, and the multiview displays streaming status with a data rate indicator, making it easy to understand the internet speed required for your chosen video format. For those who are technically inclined, the streaming profiles can be updated in an XML settings file, allowing for the integration of new services.
Connect 5G or 4G Phones
If you’re doing live production on location then the ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme models support connecting an Apple or Android phone to the USB port to use mobile data! It's also a great backup for the main Ethernet connection. Phone tethering works with the latest high-speed 5G phones plus the more common 4G phones! The ATEM switcher will automatically detect when a phone is connected and switch its internet connection to use it, eliminating the need for changing settings. When connected, the phone will power from the USB port so it remains charged from the switcher. By using phone tethering and mobile data, ATEM Mini Pro and ATEM Mini Extreme become the perfect mobile production solutions!
Record Direct to USB Flash Disks
The ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme models also support the direct recording of your streaming data to USB flash disks! That means you get very long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio that you streamed, so you can directly upload to any online video site, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Recording to multiple disks is also supported via a USB hub or Blackmagic MultiDock, so when a disk fills recording can continue to a second disk for non-stop recording. Record settings and disk selection are set up in ATEM Software Control and there's a record status view in the built-in multiview. You can even trigger recording on connected Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras!
Audio
With two independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs, you can connect desktop and lapel microphones. You can even connect a music player to generate introduction music after the live stream commences but before the program starts. With 2 extra stereo audio inputs, you can ensure a host and guest both have lapel microphones when doing interviews. All audio inputs to ATEM Mini include buttons on the panel for adjusting audio level and enabling inputs into the audio mixer. Plus all models feature a Fairlight audio mixer with all HDMI inputs and both microphone inputs are all connected to the audio mixer so you can live mix from all audio sources. The ATEM Mini Extreme also adds a headphone output.
Monitor Sources
When doing larger live productions with multiple cameras, it’s very useful to see all your video sources at the same time on a single monitor. The ATEM Mini Pro and ATEM Mini Extreme models include a professional multiview that lets you see all video inputs, preview, and program on a single HDMI television or monitor! Simply select M/V on the front panel video output control buttons to select multiview! Each camera view includes tally indicators so you know when each source is on-air, and each view also has custom labels and audio meters. Plus the ATEM Mini Extreme models allow you to select up to 16 custom views! Multiview even includes a status for recording, streaming, and the audio mixer!
Camera Control
For a more broadcast-style workflow, you can remote control your cameras from ATEM Mini! Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models can work as studio cameras with control sent via the HDMI connection to ATEM Mini. That means you can control the camera settings as well as the camera’s color corrector from ATEM Software Control. Imagine changing ISO and tint, plus lens iris, focus, and zoom, so camera operators can focus on the shot! There are two types of control interface, CCU layout for traditional tint color control and a DaVinci color corrector interface allowing the camera’s built-in DaVinci color corrector to add incredible digital film "looks" to your live production!
Video Effects
In addition to 2 independent DVEs in the ATEM Mini Extreme models, there's also a powerful SuperSource multi-layer processor with 4 extra DVE layers plus a background layer, that all appear to ATEM Mini Extreme as an additional input source. Any ATEM Mini Extreme video input can be used for each SuperSource DVE, then it’s all layered together over a media pool custom background. SuperSource is perfect for doing multiple picture-in-picture displays with people being interviewed because you can set up the effect before putting it to air, still keeping both main DVEs free for other tasks. SuperSource is just like having an extra multi-layer VFX switcher built in!
ATEM Software
The ATEM Software Control app unlocks the hidden power of ATEM Mini and allows access to every feature in the switcher. ATEM Software Control features a visual switcher user interface with parameter palettes for making quick adjustments. Although you can normally connect via USB, if you connect using Ethernet it's possible for multiple users to connect to ATEM Mini using separate copies of ATEM Software Control on different computers! The software lets you access full audio mixing with effects, load still frames, and even do advanced macro programming! You can even save the switcher state as an XML file! If you need clip playback, you can even control HyperDeck disk recorders via Ethernet.
