ATEM Mini Pro : Small but powerful, and at an amazing price

I won't go through what this device can do as the tech specs on the product listing should be sufficient there.

What I will say is that this is remarkably powerful yet extremely easy to use - just connect in all the devices you need and it just.... works.

The basic functionality on the board is more than sufficient to run even complicated Zoom calls/webinars (I teach university workshops online) and is also capable of handling on-the-fly editing when creating pre-recorded content.

The ATEM Software Control application gives additional functionality and control (particularly over audio - which is lacking on the board), and allows you to control the device over your network (i.e. without requiring a USB connection to your machine).

But it is the macros where this device shines - allowing you even greater configurability than offered by the board or the Software Centre. For example, many users complain about the small size of the Picture-in-Picture box. With macros you can change this to the size - and *shape* - that you want. I even have macros which changes which HDMI input is used for the PiP. And while you are not able to override the function of buttons on the board with your macros, this pairs nicely with the Elgato Stream Deck to give you physical buttons to cue up complex combinations of macros.

I really do like this device. And its absolutely amazing what it does for the price.
