Hello. I just received my ATEM Mini a couple of days ago. Love it! and the reason I bought it is that I have an old Tricaster Broadcast and I attached a DVI to HDMI cable from the second output of the Tricaster into the ATEM Mini. It works like a charm. Now I can use my older gear and cams (3CCD) and have the ATEM Mini Upscale the signal, then out to the Laptop for streaming.
Fantastic device! I purchased the $1000 Blackmagic ATEM switcher for a church a few years ago and they would have really benefited from a physical device so it's nice to see this especially under $300.

This is extremely cheap for the product category, and seems to be a step above what the competition can do right now, but at the same time I feel it doesn't quite hit everything as a generalist type of device to cover what most people want in an all in one physical panel system for livestreaming - though it almost gets there. It's basically a push button panel. Somewhere in between an Elgato Stream Deck and smaller professional video mixers, which usually goes above the thousand buck price, like the Roland. Since it does take audio, I feel it should have level monitoring there, and levels or dials/knobs for volume control. But obviously, that would up the price substantially. One way or another, it's a pretty impressive kit for the price.
I will probably be getting this device, but really I can't wait for the update of the ATEM Mini. Maybe with audio monitoring and an actual multiview, that thing will be the defacto for any livestreamer.
Yes at 23.50 you say the magic words. My biggest problem is that editing and syncing takes so much time. In fact it takes way more time then the live recording/broadcasting. I want to change to "live-editing" to prevent (most of the) editing afterwards. My goal will be to get so good at live switching that I do not have to do post at all. I am not a youtuber. I record/broadcast live (sports) events. So I can put more time in live switching when I simultaneously have to man one camera and do the switching or put all my time in switching when I have manned cams or fixed cams. Thank you for another great video
Great review, Lon! I was looking forward to seeing your take on the ATEM Mini! Your reviews are always very informative, straightforward and honest! Thank you for doing this review! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I wanted this so bad but I wanted multi camera preview. To my knowledge they don’t offer it yet??? I went with another option. Perhaps I’ll get this one day.
I connected this device with VMix software but the video is not sync with audio, there's is some delay with video. Also it's not showing in Atem Software Control.
How nice and how sharp it looks in the picture. What camera have you recorded with? You can one day make a tutorial on how you recorded this video. Congratulations.

Great video Lon! Thanks for sharing this device. Have you ever used any HDMI Matrixes? Essentially just a HDMI switch, with more inputs and outputs. I am planning a home theatre project for the coming year, and it will include (1) main screen, and (4) Auxiliary screens. I have been doing some research, and have been looking at an 8x8 matrix. Mostly these products are used for sports bars, or in a more commercial setting. Was just curious if you’ve used them, or if you have ever considered reviewing them. They are expensive products, with few details available about reviews and performance. Thanks again Happy Holidays to you and your family!
Installed a generic 4 in 4 out hdmi matrix at a local embassy for Zoom meetings, so that they could switch outputs to different monitors. depending on how they were configuring the room. Cost around US$170, simple switching with remote controller. Saved unplugging and plugging cables. Also have a Kramer 8 in 8 out for larger meetings, with EDID and memory facilities, enabling for example 4 hdmi inputs to go to two separate switchers. That was around US$3,000.
I saw where in the software you can delay the audio 1.75ms to match the audio on the cameras...seems the HDMI delays a bit in the cameras prossessing...or you can always go into the main camera with your wireless...
Hy Lon. 😊 I don’t want to use a computer 💻 Can ATEM MINI send signal straight to my iPhone 📱 for Facebook live? Or UA-cam live? Or I need a IOS Capture Card ? 🤔🎥 I always watch you’re Chanel 😊😍
What is the best camera to use with the ATEM Mini Pro? I was looking at these 4 cameras 1) Canon-EOS Rebel T7 DSLR Video Two Lens Kit with EF-S 18-55mm and EF 75-300 Lenes $449.99 2) Canon - EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera with EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Zoom Lens Video Creator Kit - Black $549.99 3) Canon - EOS M50 Mirrorless Camera with EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Zoom Lens - Black $499.99 4) Canon - EOS Rebel T6 DSLR Two Lens Kit with EF-S 18-55mm IS II and EF 75-300mm III lens - Black $429.99 Which one of the above camera is best? Or Can you recommend the best inexpensive camera? (in a low price range from those above ) I think I need to use at least 3 cameras for cooking; 1 for overhead, 1 of over the stove and the mean one for direct in front. Can you please give me any suggestion? This is my very first time in doing cooking video to stream and it would be a one man show. Thank you very much
The mic/line inputs are unbalanced so small cheap Behringer mixers with unbalanced output would probably work fine to get a a few phantom powered mic and line in inputs besides the audio feed from the cams.
@@LonSeidman I found a video on UA-cam ... a guy seems able to do this, but required a 'capture card device' .... ?!! ua-cam.com/video/a8676V9YTis/v-deo.html
Will it sell very well? its sold out everywhere!! I think with this and 4 field monitors on the inputs and one on the HDMI as preview in a road case , then monitoring live output on your laptop via USB to stream/record, you could make a pretty good, cheap portable studio.. Yeah the multi view on the full ATEM is great, I'm sure they eliminated that just to keep there higher end products in demand still.. but its amazing what you could do with this sub $300 device. I love BlackMagic stuff.. been using them for almost a decade.. my latest buy was the BMPCC 4k.. for the money you cant get better. well maybe the BMPCC 6k?
I want to use Atem mini Pro for youtube live streaming and Church projection with OBS(extended monitor function) at the same time. When I try it, Could It be delay and latency obviously?
Edit: I just found that Atem updated the firmware and software and you can now delay the mic inputs. This will solve the problem I ask about here. ... Great video but watching it bring me to the following sound question. When I use multiple camera's and a separate audio input, the chance that audio will be slighty of, is getting bigger. In OBS I can synch it all again by slowing the sound. Usually hdmi from camera's or capture devices slow everything down and then the sound comes too early. I see in this video that only your main camera footage is in sync. The rest is slightly of. How should we fix this in Atem?
Love your reviews Lon! I have been using Zoom lately to create PodCasts with remote guests. All of these projects are recorded and then edited with Premiere CC. I have been asked if I could do something similar 'live'. I have a Sling Studio which can have multiple sources as you know and I am not limited to just cameras/devices which are on the same network. If I used Zoom on a computer, I could connect this to the ATEM mini and send the output downstream to Sling Studio, I Believe! I also use a Rode PodCaster for all audio that I love. I am just not sure if I have multiple computers and output HDMI to the ATEM mini if I could create a side by side mask in Sling. You thoughts? I have found so many people interested to use technology creatively since the COVID situation
Zoom has the ability to stream out to Facebook and UA-cam if you are a paying subscriber. It’ll do custom rtmp sources too - see my recent zoom vs meet video I demo it
Great review! I have just ordered one. I would like to use my Sennheiser and Rode XLR mikes for the audio. These both need phantom power which is provided by Focusrite adapter going into PC. Is it possible to take the feed from the focusrite and put it into the 3.5mm audio input? I also have a Tascam recorder which has line out. Alternatively I guess I could feed the audio into the camera and then pick up audio through HDMI. What would you recommend? Thanks!
the only problem you will have is that video will probebly be late so the audio and video will be slightly out of sunc. In OBS I would know how to fix it but in Atem????
So, what kind of viceo cameras are you inputting into the ATEM? I have two Logitech USB 1080 P cameras, and I'd only be using those while I am learning the rest. JT
Great review! Thank you. I normally have two monitors plugged into a docking station which connects to my laptop (via USB-C) to do my regular work. If I use this device, would I be able to keep my regular setup and then start recording video on the fly without having to unplug HDMI cables from the docking station and into the Atem Mini?
for some reason, my computer isn't recognizing the device once plugged in via usb-c but it will show up when I use the ethernet cable connecting it to the network, any reason why that would be? I'm trying to record the streams but the record option is grayed out and won't let me. Any advice?
I bought an Atem mini and watched a lot of video on it. No one has shown how to use it for recording to file (not live) for editing 2K or 1080p after the fact in post with say FCPX? Is that not possible with the mini? Is it just a live to air webcam?
Boss mention about adding still images what about videos. Because I want to be able to play some videos when streaming to show my viewers what I'm talking about...
So, i'm trying to pick one of these up, but they seem to be sold out everywhere because everyone wants to live stream due to corona virus! Any suggestions? I"m looking on ebay and people are jacking the prices up $50-$$$$! Lame!
THANKS!! Maybe you can help. I would like to do the following - all at the same time. How can we do it on the Mini Pro? 1) Have 3 camera + 1 computer inputs via HDMI (OK - This part is easy) / 2) Have the mix go to a Zoom call (on a 2nd computer) / 3) Have the mix also show locally on a Large Screen or Projector via HDMI / 4) Use the Multi-View to be able to preview and cue the various HDMI inputs ??? Also - is there some sort of USB-C breakout that will enable the Mini Pro to feed Zoom (in another computer) and record that feed (actually the video mix) at the same time?
Get the Atem Mini Extreme - it will do all of what you request, and more. Multiview PVW, HDMI Out, 2 x USB-C stream feeds. Sure it is not cheap, but it works.
at 1:15 you said the output needs a capture card for streaming but towards the end when you were showcasing Skype and OBS it seemed like the software could pickup the signal without a need for another encoder?
The USB output looks much worse on the ATEM Mini. I plugged a capture card into the "HDMI OUT" port to my Elgato Camlink "HDMI to USB" capture card and you can see that the USB output on the ATEM Mini looks much worse. Why is that ? IS it because of something to do with MJPEG compression or something ?
What are my recording media options if I don't want to stream but just record the multicam? I'd like to sync it in post to audio recorded for a podcast on Adobe Audition. Recommendations?
Is it possible to use mobilephone camera for recording through this? I have seen some using Iphone as camera. Would it be possible with android phones also? Thanks.
For using a mirrorless/DSLR camera in 1080p mode at 30fps to do Zoom conferences: Do you know how the video quality of the Blackmagic ATEM Mini compares to the Magewell Capture HDMI Gen 12 and/or the Elgato Cam Link? If I want to minimize latency, am I better off getting an internal computer card like the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Card? I heard complaints about certain capture cards that use some form of jpeg compression that reduces the video image quality. Does that really matter? Does a device using USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 make any difference in latency? (I know the Blackmagic ATEM Mini is a switcher with extra features, but at this temporary point, I'm just trying to understand differences in latency and video quality for each device using 1 mirrorless/DSLR camera.) Thanks.
Lon, great review. Thank you. Will this until allow for presets? I.e., Scene 1: split screen with presenter on one side and a PowerPoint on the other. Scene 2: PPT full screen with presenter in a Picture in Picture in the lower right (not the tiny default size)?
You can save presets through the PC interface. But I don't think you'll be able to get a split screen working as it doesn't support scaling two video sources simultaneously.
Lon, probably should watch the entire video but can I put a stream from the computer with changing song words over another image. This is of course for house of worship where we want hymnal music over the sanctuary camera image?
Hi Lon...Thanks for this review. We are interested in this product for use in our church. Do have one question. You stated there are no "previews" windows ( monitor modes, I guess they're called) for each camera that is hooked up. Is there any way that you can see where we could have this option with this device? Thanks and God Bless.
Unfortunately no - there's no preview option available. I suppose you could split each camera's output into separate monitors - but other than that there's no way to do it with this one.
Your video is great! Thanks a lot! Maybe this is too basic, but what do I need in order to connect my webcam USB port as an HDMI input to Blackmagic ATEM Mini? Thanks
Our church recently purchased the ATEM mini.We have two cameras and a single audio source directly from the sound mixer.On the Mini,do I use the ON position for both cameras audio? Or would camera 1 be On and camera 2 would be AFV? ( audio follow video )We thank you for your help.God bless.
Lon, thank you very much. Great review, even for a newbie to this type device! I’m looking at doing some online classes using Zoom since, during this $#@! Pandemic, I can’t meet students face-to-face. I’m looking for a way to use my Panasonic GX85 camera as one input source (along with IOS devices) to get good resolution on my work area. This device is overkill for what I want to do but looks like a very versatile solution should I decide to do more in the future. Would I be able to connect my camera via HDMI In and send it to Zoom on my type C MBP laptop or, perhaps, even my 12.9 iPad Pro? And could I plug in a wired lav mic into one of the mic inputs so that would be the audio sent to Zoom? I have been looking at the Blackmagic Ultra Studio mini recorder, the Elgato Cam Link, and the Magewell USB Capture HDMI unit. The latter is in same price range as the ATEM Mini which has way more features.
Yes on the camera, not sure about the iOS devices but I'd imagine with the HDMI adapers it should work. Unfortunately I couldn't get the switcher to send video to an iPad. But it will work with the PC via USB-C. Best way to look at this is as a Camlink with a switcher attached :)
Lon.TV, thank you for quick response. I’m thinking this unit may still be the best investment since it has so many features. Even if iPhone or iPad can’t feed through it using HDMI cable/adapter it would still allow me to pull in Keynote slides through one port, video from my GX85 camera and some others. You didn’t comment on mic. If I plug in a wired lav mic, will that audio feed into my MBP?
Lon, learned from Photo Joseph video (ua-cam.com/video/5W5xiaEhK9M/v-deo.html) that mics plugged into either input port aren’t delayed as video is so audio may appear out of sync in outputted video.

Pretty much answered in this 1 video around 99% of my initial questions about this Atem Mini that I was gifted recently.
Well done :)
This is extremely cheap for the product category, and seems to be a step above what the competition can do right now, but at the same time I feel it doesn't quite hit everything as a generalist type of device to cover what most people want in an all in one physical panel system for livestreaming - though it almost gets there.
It's basically a push button panel. Somewhere in between an Elgato Stream Deck and smaller professional video mixers, which usually goes above the thousand buck price, like the Roland.
Since it does take audio, I feel it should have level monitoring there, and levels or dials/knobs for volume control. But obviously, that would up the price substantially.
One way or another, it's a pretty impressive kit for the price.
I will probably be getting this device, but really I can't wait for the update of the ATEM Mini. Maybe with audio monitoring and an actual multiview, that thing will be the defacto for any livestreamer.

Have you ever used any HDMI Matrixes?
Essentially just a HDMI switch, with more inputs and outputs.
I am planning a home theatre project for the coming year, and it will include (1) main screen, and (4) Auxiliary screens.
I have been doing some research, and have been looking at an 8x8 matrix. Mostly these products are used for sports bars, or in a more commercial setting.
Was just curious if you’ve used them, or if you have ever considered reviewing them.
They are expensive products, with few details available about reviews and performance.
Thanks again

Donny Yeo I wish @lon would do a short video on the issue.
Hi i just got this, and am very confused how to hook it up ? tried the usb-c and the drivers could not be found in windows 7 64bit any idea's
What are my recording media options if I don't want to stream but just record the multicam? I'd like to sync it in post to audio recorded for a podcast on Adobe Audition. Recommendations?
Hi Lon do you think that ATEM Mini Pro ? or you think that ATEM Mini have a better relation between function and cost???
Oh sorry, Do you recommend ATEM Mini Pro?...
Is it possible to use mobilephone camera for recording through this?
I have seen some using Iphone as camera.
Would it be possible with android phones also?
Thanks.
For using a mirrorless/DSLR camera in 1080p mode at 30fps to do Zoom conferences: Do you know how the video quality of the Blackmagic ATEM Mini compares to the Magewell Capture HDMI Gen 12 and/or the Elgato Cam Link? If I want to minimize latency, am I better off getting an internal computer card like the Magewell Pro Capture HDMI Card? I heard complaints about certain capture cards that use some form of jpeg compression that reduces the video image quality. Does that really matter? Does a device using USB 2.0 vs USB 3.0 make any difference in latency? (I know the Blackmagic ATEM Mini is a switcher with extra features, but at this temporary point, I'm just trying to understand differences in latency and video quality for each device using 1 mirrorless/DSLR camera.) Thanks.
Lon, great review. Thank you. Will this until allow for presets? I.e., Scene 1: split screen with presenter on one side and a PowerPoint on the other. Scene 2: PPT full screen with presenter in a Picture in Picture in the lower right (not the tiny default size)?
You can save presets through the PC interface. But I don't think you'll be able to get a split screen working as it doesn't support scaling two video sources simultaneously.
Amazing...
Lon, probably should watch the entire video but can I put a stream from the computer with changing song words over another image. This is of course for house of worship where we want hymnal music over the sanctuary camera image?
Probably would be easier to use VMix
Hi, what program can I OUTPUT the video to, to record it and stream like like you mentioned in the beginning
Can an iphone 6 and an ipad be used successfully?
Hi Lon...Thanks for this review. We are interested in this product for use in our church. Do have one question. You stated there are no "previews" windows ( monitor modes, I guess they're called) for each camera that is hooked up. Is there any way that you can see where we could have this option with this device? Thanks and God Bless.
Unfortunately no - there's no preview option available. I suppose you could split each camera's output into separate monitors - but other than that there's no way to do it with this one.
Is the video delay noticeable when using OBS?
What camera(s) do you use with this?
how to record it
Your video is great! Thanks a lot! Maybe this is too basic, but what do I need in order to connect my webcam USB port as an HDMI input to Blackmagic ATEM Mini? Thanks
Our church recently purchased the ATEM mini.We have two cameras and a single audio source directly from the sound mixer.On the Mini,do I use the ON position for both cameras audio? Or would camera 1 be On and camera 2 would be AFV? ( audio follow video )We thank you for your help.God bless.
If you're using only your sound board I would leave the camera audio off.
@@LonSeidman Thank you Lon-The audio feed from the sound mixer will go directly into Mic 1 of the ATEM switcher.
Beautiful lovely
Thank you!
Hi, Is that a "Sinclair 16" computer on your shelf
It is ! The US version called the Timex Sinclair 1000
Your cam was recording in 60fps...same as an LED with an AC power source...
Why is your link showing $495 when you said $295 ?
It’s out of stock at Amazon so third party sellers are trying to take advantage
thanks Lon
Can I output a prerecorded video into to program? How?
WHERE CAN I GET THE SOFTWARE?? I cant find the download.
Lon, thank you very much. Great review, even for a newbie to this type device! I’m looking at doing some online classes using Zoom since, during this $#@! Pandemic, I can’t meet students face-to-face. I’m looking for a way to use my Panasonic GX85 camera as one input source (along with IOS devices) to get good resolution on my work area. This device is overkill for what I want to do but looks like a very versatile solution should I decide to do more in the future. Would I be able to connect my camera via HDMI In and send it to Zoom on my type C MBP laptop or, perhaps, even my 12.9 iPad Pro? And could I plug in a wired lav mic into one of the mic inputs so that would be the audio sent to Zoom? I have been looking at the Blackmagic Ultra Studio mini recorder, the Elgato Cam Link, and the Magewell USB Capture HDMI unit. The latter is in same price range as the ATEM Mini which has way more features.
Yes on the camera, not sure about the iOS devices but I'd imagine with the HDMI adapers it should work. Unfortunately I couldn't get the switcher to send video to an iPad. But it will work with the PC via USB-C. Best way to look at this is as a Camlink with a switcher attached :)
Lon.TV, thank you for quick response. I’m thinking this unit may still be the best investment since it has so many features. Even if iPhone or iPad can’t feed through it using HDMI cable/adapter it would still allow me to pull in Keynote slides through one port, video from my GX85 camera and some others. You didn’t comment on mic. If I plug in a wired lav mic, will that audio feed into my MBP?
Unfortunately, it appears to be out of stock everywhere!
Lon, learned from Photo Joseph video (ua-cam.com/video/5W5xiaEhK9M/v-deo.html) that mics plugged into either input port aren’t delayed as video is so audio may appear out of sync in outputted video.
Oh. Hey Lon!
Can you review the atem mini pro iso?
Any hardware video switchers on macOS that supports color Digital Video Effects? The way the TriCaster does it is awesome but it’s not macOS based.
How can I prevent my camera settings from being visible?
Posso conectar uma fonte de video em 1080p e outra em 1080i simultanente, thank you!
Can you hook up and use an Iphone or Android to this device and it work, if so what cables would you need?
It depends on the device and whether or not it has an HDMI output option.
Great review 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I wonder how it’s possible to record the live output from the atem mini using the software provided ?
How loud is the cooling-fan of this switcher? I have a Roland V-1HD and it is so loud that it is almost unusable....
This one is fanless
@@LonSeidman wait what it has no fans? impossible I know already at least 10 people who are crazy fans of this device :)
