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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They are not as good as SDI or even Display Port. I encourage the industry to abandon HDMI entirely. If all manufacturers converted to SDI we would not need converters and we could run longer cables. Laptop manufacturers could develop a mini SDI BNC that we would simply adapt to standard BNC. Okay ... I finished venting now.
