ATEM Mini Pro : Fantastic Product

5 years ago

Everybody is still in a euphoric state of mind about this Atem Mini Pro. I must admit that it includes me. However I can think of a few minors. I bought the Atem to reduce my editing time by changing to more 'live editing' during the broadcast or recording and to be able to live switch camera's without problems. I mainly record or live-stream smaller (sports)events.

Plusses besides the normal specs:

- Buttons feel great and weight of unit is enough

- (wireless) control via Atem software and other apps works perfect

- Recording and streaming in different compressions/quality is great

- Atem software functions offer a lot of possibilities

- Lots of youtubers posted lots of great explaining tutorials

Minors:

- Only hdmi input1 is forgiving with a little weaker signal strength, the other inputs require high strength hdmi signal. (You need the best cables and I am taking no risk and am converting all longer then 5 meter distances to SDI connections with converters. (not tested yet)

- Hdmi ports are always fragile. Use good connectors and make sure cables don't pull.

- Recording and streaming in different qualities at the same time is impossible.
