An superb introduction to blackmagic's ATEM series. The fact your video was on the ATEM Mini gives one a clear and understandable description of how each of the inputs and outputs work. Clearly, more expensive modes have more input/output jacks; but, your simple explanation takes away much of the "fear factor." Your stated limitations was most helpful. If a feature is required, but not available, i.e., multiple displays; one can buy a more expensive model. In short: a beautiful explanation of the concepts involved! Thank you.

Thank you so much. You have explain it better than all the ATEM mini videos that I have watched so far.

I'm so glad you made an updated version, I was just talking to potential media members and directing them to your page to learn about the ATEM, they saw this video and then asked me what is OBS? Haha, so I guess you would have to include another OBS introduction to the updated versions as well. God bless you brother, love what you have done for our ministries.

Awesome explanation and clear directions. I have not worked a production switcher in decades so this was extremely helpful as I update my church's online presence. Thank you

wow..! I just got this new Atem mini extreme , and was SO lost .. I was about to return the thing, thinking it was broken. thanks to this video that explained some fundamentals. it's more clear now.. I can't wait for the part 2 of the ATEM MINI 101 series . thanks my Brotha , for sharing the knowledge to advance the Lord work :)

I like this new series (a walkthrough of the Atem mini-series) helps us to refresh everything. I would like you to make a point on the setup of the network (ethernet) which is a key in the system, you skipped it here but it is important to have it set right otherwise you may not see your Atem when needed (the software will say "no Atem found"). Also, some more details (if you have time) on how to connect cables (different options I mean). Yes, I like the series that will help a lot. Thank you, Ajay God bless you.

This is EXACTLY what I needed and I needed it quick.

Excellent video! Exactly what I needed to know in order to choose which device is best for the ministry I'm working with. Stay blessed!

Finally found an in-depth tutorial. Thanks

Buy HDMI splitters. Split the HDMI cables coming from each camera: one split goes to the ATEM Mini, the other to a cheap multi-view that you already have or purchase. Run the multi-view output to a dedicated monitor. Run the ATEM'S HDMI output to your recording device - then loop that output to a second monitor. Works great.

Thanks for this AJ. Needed to train my team on the ATEM. This will work perfectly!

Thank you for your ATEM MINI 101 Beginner's Guide show!

Great video. Thank You for your continued work for the community! God Bless you brother!

Very helpful thanks - very thorough and well explained

Let me know if there are any specific items you would like me to include in future parts of this series.

Thanks for the video

Another idea on power control, some surge protectors marketed as green/power-saving (e.g. APC P8GT) have master/slave outlet design. This might be helpful for a dedicated streaming/studio set up. You could connect a PC/laptop to the master outlet and devices such as an ATEM Mini and displays to slave outlets. When current draw on the master outlet drops below a manufacturer-specified threshold (e.g. PC/laptop is shutdown or hibernating), slave outlets are switched off and devices connected to the slave outlets are powered off. When current draw on the master outlet is above the threshold, slave outlets are switched on and devices connected to the slave outlets are powered on.

Thank you for this step by step, sir

Thank you, AJ you answer a lot of my questions. Amen!

This was incredibly helpful.

Well done!

What an impressive explanation 👌👌 I really appreciate, I got the entire knowledge about ATEM mini, Actually I request you sir it's possible to talk about how soundcraft ui24 works, something like the way you explained the ATEM MINI, each button and purpose the inputs and outputs, actually I'm working as the leader of the sound system and the entire online service " lisve stream" of my church, so I have been studying about it, now I got your KZfaq channel, and I started following you. So please sir I need to learn more and from you, thank you 🙏🙏 may God continue blessing you.

Hey AJay Have done a beginners guide to the ATEM Mini Pro ISO specifically. Thank you David

Awesome video and right on time! Thank you!

A very _smart_ and versatile capture card! 😊

I came across an old forum post where a Blackmagic Design employee wrote, "I checked with the ATEM product manager and ATEM is just a family name of switcher products. ATEM is based on the name of the Egyptian god, Atum." We could retroactively change it to something descriptive, perhaps _Advanced Transition and Effects Mixer_ ? I'm sure someone a little more creative than I can come up with a better backronym.

Thank you SO much 🙏🏻

Well done. Very useful. Thanks.

We send a separate AUX out from our sound board for the livestream. That way we can include mic channels that are not being sent to FOH. For example: a hanging mic to capture the congregation sound.

Good morning, thanks for the information very very informative, I have a question, what is the longest length HDMI cable I can use and still have excellent footage, in our church out sound room is about 40 feet from the alter?

Cumbersome and adding cost, but one could use four (or however many are needed) 1 in and 2 out splitters and use one of the outs from the splitter going to a monitor. That takes up space in your booth or control room and adds cost but it would be a solution.

good infor

Great and Informative video. I'm currently having issues seeing anything from my ATEM Mini Pro. I do have video options to select Blackmagic as my camera source but when i do its a blank screen. I tried via a Teams meeting What am i doing wrong?

I need some guidance on how to connect with black magic ATEM to cameras , projector,TV and computer , just the setup can help me cope up since it's my first time to stream live for a ministry since I have not yet connected such since I got done with information Technology course thanks

Hi Nice video, Please how do i use this using one PC.

Hey just a question is there a way to control switching via your phone?

What type of HDMI Cable I need to get for this?

Hello I am trying setup video team for my church, we livestream threw my phone to facebook live. What are some items I would need to get started.

Bless you AJ can I change photos in pip. I like use another photo Thank you

Great video! Can I ask how you did the split screens?

I am assigned as media team in our small church. We are planning to start to do live streams but we have very limited budget since we're only starting. Basically, I have 1 laptop and 1 projector which I use to project scriptures in front. My question is, can I use my laptop to hook up this ATEM mini pro, projector and another monitor for additional viewing all in a single laptop that I will use to project and live stream? If so, what other equipment do I need. Hope someone can help. Thanks

Atem Mini will only show cam one with HDMi cord over 50ft. Is there another way to get camera 2 that located over 50ft

I run a live stream for a small church using OBS and considering purchasing the Atem Mini Pro and using that for an easier workflow. Can I use the Atem to change and switch in between scenes that I have in OBS?? For instance, if I have a scene in OBS with a intro video and another scene with an outro video, to go from one scene to the next can I click one of the buttons on the Atem? Because if not, it may be better or more simple just to stick with using OBS.

👌

Do you use the USB out to PC for OBS?

Hi AJ How do I use my atem mini as the processor? It seems like my computer is doing all the work and it makes my live lag. Thank you for all you do.

Can you connect 4 cameras to it and have all 4 inputs show up in OBS? Thank you

I know I’m such a beginner but I have to ask. Do you use a USB C to USB A? My computer doesn’t have a USB C port. Will any cable work with an older iMac?

Can you get from hdmi out, video with sound? I am running OBS, and a Midas MR18 mixer. Any suggestions as I need to go to a tv with full mixer sound

super usefull, how can I send a video mp1 online in program? is it possibile with other antem ?

I have atem mini pro And the resulting video is very laggy regarding that my output is 4k and settings are 800 iso , shutter speed 1/50 Any idea how do I solve the lagging problem ??

Hello, good afternoon, look at the video, it was very helpful to me, thanks for the tremendous video with the explanation, but I have everything connected, but I have a question about the camera system that I have. I bought a 4k USBc adapter , and then I had to buy a usbc to usb 3.0 converter because I have the Rizen Kiyo cameras, I have 2 connected to the hdmi 1 and 2 of the atem mini but they don't look, maybe I'm doing something wrong, could you help me, sorry for the annoyance and I also have the hdmi out For another monitor or does it have to be connected to the pc? I need help, this is new to me

Using ATEM before OBS would handle encoding? To prevent overload in OBS.

2 Questions I need help answering for myself, does the Ethernet connect straight to my router? Or to my laptop? 2nd can the Atem control iPhones for cameras ? Thank you in advance

How can remotely control the software. Is there an app for IPAD?

Hey Ajay I need help with my joy stick I have a huddle cam joy stick no (POE)

According to Blackmagic, who acquired ATEM along with all their other technology when they purchased Echolab in 2010. According to the ATEM product manager, the name comes from Egyptian mythology. According to mythology, Atem was the first god, having created himself.

You still need 2 pc if your doing gaming or one pc and console

I cannot recommend this product, the ATEM mini series. The HDMI output has a history of failing. I bought a unit a year ago and the HDMI output had gone bad after a dozen or so uses. Then recently I bought another one. This brand new unit out of the box had the same problem after a single day - I sent it back to B&H this morning. Next, I was getting some equipment at a broadcast rental house in Tempe Arizona and my sales contact had an ATEM Mini on his desk with the same problem. To top it off, my video engineer had an ATEM Mini that was flickering on the HDMI yesterday - he told me these ATEM Minis are prone to this problem. I'm moving to another manufacturer, probably Roland. Not worth the risk using ATEM products. They will go down for sure.
