Great video Aaron! A comparison between YoloBox and ATEM Mini Pro & ISO might also be highly anticipated!! there are so many inquries and requests!!

Great video. Your professionalism shows through in the small thing like syncing your audio in post when you had the feelworld monitor on multiview when talking about the features. (hands were in camera and then delayed on the feelworld) Its the little touches like that, that most youtubers wouldnt bother with, but just goes to show the difference between caring about your videos and just uploading content. Thanks for taking care of the details.

Thank you for getting right into the nuts and bolts of the issue. I found the video to be very helpful and informative.

Thank you for clearing up in the first minute that the L1 is comparable with the mini and not with the mini-pro (which I have). Saves me watching a video :)

Hi Aaron, I really enjoy your videos. Very informative and helpful. I have the Livepro L1, and I wanted to mention a few things I found out about it. First, some people have mistakenly updated the firmware of the L1 with the L2 firmware update, which is not correct. There is another unit that Feelworld will soon be releasing called the L2, with the difference being it allows for controlling the movement of the connected cameras. The handling of audio for the L1 was limited since it only allows for either embedded (sound from the active HDMI-connected camera) or External (audio jack). Having the audio follow the active camera was useless since you would need to adjust the camera mic sound to match for each camera so it sounded consistent. But this issue was solved with the most recent L1 firmware update, where now besides choosing Embedded or External, you can also choose any one of the HDMI-connected cameras, and therefore have one external mic connected to that camera, and the audio will always come from that selected camera no matter which HDMI input you switch to. Again, thanks for your informative and well-produced videos.

Thank you. This is just the video I was looking for!!!!

Thank you Aaron. This video helped me to decide. So I have ordered Livepro. My config : Livepro for mixing video, Blackmagic intensity shuttle usb3.0 for capturing hdmi with obs, Microsoft Go for multiview over Livepro Usb output, Behringer U-phoria UMC404HD for sound. Audio and video can be synced in obs. Usb multiview on Livepro is clear win, so I can capture higher quality hdmi out.

After watching your review yesterday, I canceled my purchase of the ATEM Mini and bought the Livepro L1. I then discovered that they’ve upgraded the firmware in the meantime, so I feel I made a good decision. The comment you made that changed my mind was that the ATEM Mini has “too many buttons.” You said it diplomatically, but the point for me is simplicity. As a single user, the disadvantage of the L1 being limited to one audio input wasn’t an issue for me. Thank you!

This video is fantastic!! Thanks for doing it. As much as I like Blackmagic, I'm really sold on the L1!

Very cool review. I have been contemplating what is right for me and this video did great at pointing out limitations. I think the Feelworld may suit me since I do talking head and control my audio on pro devices. Thanks dude!

on a totally sidenote I felt dizzy from the focus going in and out continuously lol great video as always!

Great review Aaron.

The HDMI output to another screen is awesome. I know it can be done on the Atem Pro or Iso but this just seems so much easier.

Appreciate this breakdown.

Great comparative review. I'm still on the fence, as I'm not very familiar with this technology. Do you have a dedicated Li review video?

Awesome. This is great channel :) could you upload way of the firmware upgrade for feelworld livepro L1?

Good info to help make a correct choice, thanks

Hi, Aaron. Thanks so much for the great video. I'm a little closer to making a decision between the two but had a question. I livestream my music and use a focusrite scarlett interface into my computer so I think the audio capabilities of either are a non issue. However, will I see any latency by routing the audio that way and if I do, which unit would be better at resolving the latency? Thanks and I saved your affiliate links for either purchase.

I am a huge fan of the Atem Mini Pro!!

I have the ATEM Mini, and I'll venture to say that multiview is not the main advantage of going for ATEM Mini Pro.. but instead the real advantage is having hardware-based encoding, streaming, and recording without having to rely on OSB or similar software. You can always configure the ATEM Mini to preview one source at a time (through HDMI out) by pressing the big 1-4 buttons. Not multiview, but good enough to see whats coming before taking the shot.

Great! Very helpful, thank you

Awesome video! I just heard about the L1 yesterday, I had a question, if I wanted to console stream and I had the Xbox series X, Mac mini M1, Sony zv-e10 and let’s say a GoPro hero 10 would the L1 be a good buy?! Worried you can only get one audio out per input how would one set that up 🤔thanks!!

Great video! Thank you

just purchased and very hot after an hour of use

Amazing video. Thank you. Although I still have a question, for example, I do have an external audio channel for my Podcast (Rodcaster Pro 1) so I won't need the audio from any of these two options, so would you still recommend me the L1, ATEM mini or the ATEM mini Pro? Thank you :)

Had the L1 been available prior to my ATEM mini purchase, I probably would have bought that instead. That said, if nothing better comes out in the next few months, I'll probably buy an ISO. From the teardown of video another KZfaqr did, there's still some expandability available in the mini line, even if they don't redesign the board and layout. Instead of or on top of adding monitor abilities to the USB port, I'd rather see it through the network cable. Then when someone is controlling the ATEM from another PC, they can do so from another location in the room or even outside the room and still see the feeds. Call it a social distancing feature. The feature I want the most is to be able to assign hot keys to the macros. Second would be put video (webm videos can be small) and even audio recordings in the media pool. Especially in the Pro and ISO models, where they are designed to be stand alone streaming devices. As it stands for many peoples needs, they still need to run the ATEM as an input through OBS or other software to stream the way they want.

thanks you so much

Super helpful

So, I've had both models. I bought the Feelworld first, liked the T bar and TFT screen. The model I received was DOA. The Tbar on the Livepro had a broken sensor that couldn't tell if it was positioned to the left or the right, which effectively bricked it. The device won't work if the Tbar isn't to the absolute left or the absolute right. Took I back to the store where I got it from (B&H) and the cashier said 'Yeah...that's Feelworld for ya."

Great helpful video, we are live streaming with obs and when I plug more than 2 camera obs shows message overloaded encoder. I am use l1 with my obs Will it help?

I like the comparison. I loved the t-handle fader on the Feelworld L1 and L2., as well as the multivideo screen. However, both have locked up on me during Zoom classes, causing me to reboot and have them lock up again. It seems they work very well for a short time, then start to act wonky. I thought it might be overheating, so I got a switch to turn them off (yeah, what's with these guys and no off switch?), and placed them on a twin fan laptop cooler. Didn't work. I don't have time to debug this misery, so I bought the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro. Hopefully, I don't have the same problem with it. We'll see!

Good video!

Very useful. But what if I have a scarlett audio interface and I want to send audio from there streight into the live stream for example OB, can I manage the audio separately without connecting it to the Atem or the L1? So in this kind of scenario I wouldn't use any audio source from the cameras, instead I would take advantage of my audio equipement in parallel is it possible basing on your experience? ☺ #DarkVanities

I’d take the ATEM simply for the added audio processing abilities.... the deficiencies over the L1 are a pain, but having great audio cannot be underestimated, and if you know how to set the gate, eq, and compressor, with decent mics, you’re getting GREAT audio within that tiny ATEM box....

why do you need the splitter for the chromecast?

can you use the feel world for all live stream platforms. Facebook, zoom, stream yard etc?

I am looking for a straight, basic low latency scaling HDMI switcher for IMAG purposes like the Extron IN1604 (1-2 frames latency), but this one is very expensive. Do you know what the latency is of these two devices?

Hey great Video, thanks for that, Do you have a tutorial of how to add google cast to freeworld for the chats?

@ 1:21 ( ATEM "MINI") is also a "USB" capture device...??

Question: Can the L1 run the HDMI out and USB out at the same time? So you can run video out to on site monitors while simultaneously feeding to a live stream? Or is it one or the other? Thanks!!!

Hi Aaron, You elaborated on the audio capabilities of the Atem Mini, but if you have a professional audio-interface and you record and process the audio through a music production software (like Cubase), is the audio processing aspect of the Atem Mini really necessary?

todomo mundo hace comentarios pero nadie muestra como es la configuración para trasmitir

Does L1 device support Picture in Picture?.

Hi, What is the Output of the Feelworld L1 ? is it 10 Bit 422 ?

Hi ! Very informative video. Can Livepro L1 do chroma key -- green screen? Thank you.

Good video! I think you may have interest in having a review RGBlink mini+ vs ATEM Mini Pro.

Hi and thanks for the review! one question: I'd like to use one of these devices to make video while I'm playing and singing. in your review you told that the ATEM MINI has a better audio than the L1... do you think that this could guide my choice? becuase I'd prefer the L1, but I don't want to have bad sound quality. ah one thing, I'll use an external audio mixer. thanks for your feedback

Bought the Roland V-02HD based on your review. While I like the 4 multi-camera input/view of LiveproL1 and the ability to plug into the USB on my laptop for livestreaming without a dongle, I hate the fact I can't record separate video on another source like a video monitor/recorder. Recording on the computer just takes up more RAM and storage. I have yet to hear anything about Chroma Key (I use that for graphics in my Roland) or a screw assembly to attach L1 to my tripod. While the Roland has only two inputs I bypass this problem with an A/V switcher from Walmart to add 4 sources. Since I still need separate audio via a mixer, I guess my next purchase will be the YOLO in a year or so when the price is goes down. Thanks again for your reviews and tips!

Great info, but having fielded the Mini Pro, I won’t switch!!! lol

Finally!!

thank a lot but u forget Funtion FX on L1 Thank a lot .i will deciding HDMI SWITCHER

FYI, The ATEM Mini handles 10bit 4:2:2 video, the LT limited to 8bit only ;(

I went from the Feelworld L1 to ATEM Mini Pro. The L1 beats the standard ATEM Mini if it's working properly..

L1 (not L2!) has a firmware update that de-embeds audio.

Tanks bos

Hey Aaron, Does this L1 have the same function as the ATEM Pro where it no longer drains main computer resources? Thanks!

1) Does the L1 have "Picture in Picture" ? 2) What is the "macro" capability of the L1? I use the macro function on the Atem Mini to switch between cameras and PIP without touching any buttons once it's running. This is a deal breaker for me if the L1 doesn't have this. Thanks in advance.

Question ❓ what if you combined an Atem AND this unit to have more than 4 ports as well as eliminate the hdcp issues of the Atem? Best of both worlds? Or is there a reason the combo would not work?

2:19 how could u see the game from the console while connected to the mixer ?

Question! Does only multiwiew lengthen the image? Does the same thing happen in the Streaming Program? Does it send an elongated image to viewers, or is the normal image 1920x1080? Thanks

If i got the L1, how do i deal with the audio timing/syncing adjustments? Do you have any videos on it?

I just don't know. I always seemed to like BD, but even the Pro can't do split output. This is really a big con. As for the ATEM allowing to adjust sound from multiple camera - during the interviews, you most probably are going to use some wireless mics, so your sound will not come from the camera anyway. All those ATEM buttons are not so much useful then. Wondering if Feelword, Cerevo LiweWedge or something from Roland is not the better option.

I've just received the Livepro L1 and with the first test found that it gets very hot - too hot to hold. It is running latest firmware and I tested with only 2 HDMI inputs. Has anyone else had this experience? Wondering if mine is faulty...

Good comparison. If the livepro is removing hdcp and it's able to capture into a PC then they are probably breaking the law and opening up themselves for litigation

How do I hook up a usb webcam to the live pro?

Main Big difference between the L1 and the ATEM MINI aside from the Multiview and the Audio Processing is the System or Software Side of things.... In this category and price point nothing can beat the ATEM MINI.... Yes you can't do much on the Hardware vs Hardware side of things if you compare it with L1... but Man! with the software of the whole ATEM, there's a lot more flexibility there, you can do tons of things, setting keyers, Compression, EQ, Stills, DSK, network control, etc. IMO you need to ask yourself what you need the most or what's important to you... Multiview or the Flexibility of ATEM Mini. Other than that you have your answer.

I'm researching an alternative to ATEM Mini switchers. I owned two and both switchers had bad HDMI outputs after using them a very short time. One went bad after the second day out of the box. I have a vendor that has same issue. My video engineer told me ATEM Minis are prone to bad HDMI outputs. Hence I will no longer purchase Black Magic switchers. Can you tell me if the Feelworld Livepro L1 is sturdy and have you had any connectors go bad?

Does the L1 have upstream and downstream keying options like the ATEM?

Hi, how can I record the pgm

I understand why you’ve compared the boxes feature-by-feature but isn’t there a key aspect which you’ve missed; the quality of the encoders and the resultant output? Both audio and video.

so, the L1 removes the HDCP on the video that is output ?

Surprised no one else is bothered that they used a USB3.0 type "A" connector where it should be a type "B" or "C". Besides being non-standard, this requires an oddball "A to A" cable to connect to your PC. There are quality control problems with the whole ATEM Mini line, but Blackmagic is at least an established company that you can get some support from. This product (now called LIVEPRO L1 V1) needs to hit a lower price point to make it a better value than the ATEM Mini.

Does the L1 record each input separately?

Can you run the atem mini into a splitter for running into multiple computers to be able to livestream to multiple platforms using a single feed from the switcher? Hope that makes sense. Great Vid. Very helpful

So the L1 does not have the option to delay the audio to match up if ur doing video and audio separate

You forget to mention that Atem Mini have Downstream and Upstream Key...

Can the device stream without a computer?

Hey did you up grade the L1 software to L2 during this?

Your channel is great! Keep growing! Feelworld is not an option for me, just because the design looks old and unprofessional.

Aaron, I'm looking for a simple webcam switcher to use in my Skype music lessons. Would the Feelpro L1 work if connect my USB webcams with USB-to-HDMI adaptors? I use a separate mic, so the L1's skimpy audio features are of no concern. Thanks for your advice!

Also the Atem is an Australian company, the other is Chinese.
