Frequently Asked Questions About This Kit

How is this different than the Pocket Cinema kits?

This kit is ATEM Mini Pro kit, but it features a Sony camera rather than the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras. This reduces the cost of the kit significantly, and the Sonys are amazing cameras. The difference in image quality is minimal, and most people won’t be able to tell the difference, especially on a live stream. The only drawback is that the Pocket Cinema cameras can be completely controlled remotely through the ATEM software. The Sony cameras have no easy remote control functionality. Once you set them, they are pretty much static.

If you use the ATEM in conjunction with a streaming computer, you can use NDI to import the projector feed into the live stream as a digital camera source without the use of any additional hardware.

What else will I need to stream?

You’ll need a computer (Mac or Windows) to setup the ATEM Mini Pro with your stream key for Facebook or YouTube or Restream. You’ll need to configure your preferences using the computer, and then the ATEM Mini Pro can operate independently.

You will also need an Ethernet connection to your router or internet modem. We do not supply the Ethernet cable to plug the ATEM up to your network.

Once you have it plugged into your network, and you’ve configured your preferences using the Blackmagic ATEM Software (free to download), you can stream as easy as 1, 2 ,3.

Is there a camera mount included in this streaming kit?

Sorry, we only include mounts in our PTZ streaming systems. Every church wants to mount its cameras differently. Some want them mounted to the ceiling, others to the walls, others want them to be manually operated on tripods, etc. etc. Therefore, we leave the mounting up to you. It could be as simple as buying a $30 tripod from your nearest electronics store.

How do I connect audio to this kit?

There are actually two ways to connect audio to this ATEM Mini Pro. You can use the 3.5mm jacks on the back, of which there are 2. You can also bring audio in from each camera – which in most cases, you don’t want to do. However, we include an adapter and a 100′ XLR cable so you can run an output from your mixer into the Blackmagic camera. This will allow you to bring in high-quality audio without additional mixers or audio hardware.

What is included in the 12 months of Premium Technical Support

We provide free technical support to our customers for 1 year. To schedule a private tech support appointment, you go to our contact page and use the calendar app to pick an open time slot convenient for you. We then connect over Zoom or Facetime for a video call to help walk you through any potential problems you are having with your system.

What is included in the 12 months of Premium Training Sessions

We offer our customers the option to schedule private training with us for their volunteers or live streaming crew. We do this over Zoom, and it allows your volunteers to be trained on the setup and running of the live stream, to make it as professional as possible. If you have a volunteer crew that needs to be trained on how to operate live streaming equipment, this is a valuable add-on we provide for free. However, there is a limit, 1 training session per month, 12 total.

How can I show slides in the live stream?

This is somewhat the tradeoff of using the ATEM mini as your live streaming solution. There is only one way to bring in your projection software to the stream, and that’s through an HDMI connection. If you’re using ProPresenter, for example, your projection computer must have a free HDMI output in order to feed that to the ATEM mini. Some users claim to be able to use a splitter, splitting off the output that is going to the in-house TVs or Projectors.

If you use the ATEM in conjuction with a streaming computer, you can use NDI to import the projector feed into the live stream as a digital camera source without the use of any additional hardware.

Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro

Introducing low-cost, multi-camera, live production with advanced broadcast features.

Church Service Streaming With ATEM Mini Pro

ATEM Mini switchers make it easy to create professional multi-camera productions for live streaming to YouTube and innovative business presentations using Skype or Zoom! Simply connect ATEM Mini and you can switch live between 4 high-quality video camera inputs for dramatically better quality images. Or connect a computer for PowerPoint slides or gaming consoles. The built-in DVE allows exciting picture in picture effects, perfect for commentary! There are loads of video effects too! All ATEM Mini models have a USB that works like a webcam so you can use any streaming software while the ATEM Mini Pro model adds live streaming and recording to USB disks. ATEM Mini even has secret broadcast features built-in so it can do high-end work!

Faster Video Production Plus Live Streaming

Live production is the fastest way to complete a finished program, plus you can stream it to a live global audience via YouTube at the same time. The USB webcam output of ATEM Mini connects to any computer and looks just like a built-in webcam, so all streaming software for social media platforms works! With up to 4 HDMI inputs you can set up multiple camera angles such as wide shots along with independent close-ups of each person in the performance. Or you can connect to a computer with a PowerPoint slide show, video clip playback, websites, or gaming consoles. All switching is in real-time so you can live stream to any social media platform such as YouTube, Facebook, TwitchTV, and many more!

Self Contained Broadcast-Quality Switcher

ATEM Mini’s compact all-in-one design includes both a control panel as well as connections. The front panel includes easy to use buttons for selecting sources, video effects and transitions. The source buttons are large so it’s possible to use it by feel, letting the presenter do the switching! You even get buttons for audio mixing! On the ATEM Mini Pro model you also get buttons for record and streaming control as well as output selection buttons that let you change the video output between cameras, program and multiview. On the rear panel there are HDMI connections for cameras or computers, extra microphone inputs, USB for webcam out plus an HDMI “aux” output for program video.

Easy to use and fast to Learn!

There’s never been a switcher that’s easier to use, as you simply press any of the input buttons labeled 1 to 4 on the front panel to cut between video sources. You can choose between cut or effects transitions by selecting the cut or auto buttons. Unlike cut, the auto button tells ATEM Mini to use a video effect when switching inputs. You can select from exciting transitions such as dissolve, or more dramatic effects such as dip to color, DVE squeeze, and DVE push. The DVE is perfect for picture in picture effects and you can instantly set up different picture positions. There is even a still store for titles and graphics accessible via external software control.

Connect up to 4 independent Cameras

With 4 independent HDMI inputs, you can connect up to 4 high-quality video cameras. Video cameras with HDMI outputs are dramatically better quality than simple webcams as they use higher quality lenses and have better low light sensitivity. All video sources will re‑sync to the switcher if they operate at different video standards so you don’t have to worry about connecting video devices as they all just work! Cameras with HDMI often support interchangeable lenses so you can change to wide-angle lenses for wide shots and zoom lenses for close‑ups. Imagine taking advantage of the low light capability of better cameras for theater production, weddings, school concerts, and music videos!

Outputs to HDMI Video and USB Webcam!

To ensure maximum compatibility, ATEM Mini features a USB connection that operates as a simple webcam source. That means you can plug in and instantly get working with any video software. The software is tricked into thinking the ATEM Mini is a common webcam, but it’s really a live production switcher! That guarantees full compatibility with any video software and in full resolution 1080HD quality. Choose any software you like, such as Open Broadcaster for live streaming, or Skype for Powerpoint presentations. ATEM Mini works with software and platforms such as Open Broadcaster, XSplit Broadcaster, YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Skype, Zoom, Twitch, Periscope, Livestream, Wirecast, and more!

Live Stream via Ethernet on ATEM Mini Pro

The ATEM Mini Pro model has a built-in hardware streaming engine for live streaming via its built-in Ethernet connection. That means you can live stream to YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch in better quality, without dropped frames and with much simpler settings. Just select the streaming service and enter the streaming key! There are palettes in ATEM Software Control for streaming setup and status, plus streaming status is also displayed in the multiview. Streaming status is easy to understand as the data rate indicator shows the internet speed required for the video format you’re using. If you’re technically minded, you can even hack the detailed streaming profiles in the XML preference file and load new services.

Record Direct to USB Flash Disks with ATEM Mini Pro

The ATEM Mini Pro model also supports direct recording of your streaming data to USB flash disks! That means you get very long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio that you streamed, so you can directly upload to any online video site, such as YouTube and Vimeo. ATEM Mini Pro supports multiple disks when used with a USB hub or Blackmagic MultiDock, so when a disk fills recording can continue to a second disk for non-stop recording. Record settings and disk selection are set up in ATEM Software Control and there’s a record status view in the built-in multiview. You can even trigger recording on external Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras!

Add Exciting Video Effects

One of the benefits of ATEM Mini is the professional production values that are possible using the range of built-in video effects! The cut button ensures an instant cut when switching between sources. The auto button is a professional term that’s used on large broadcast switchers to enable video effects transitions. There are duration buttons for video effects allowing 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2-second settings. You can also select the type of effect you want including mix, which does a smooth transition between sources, and dip which fades via a color during the transition. Or use fun DVE effects that move the image off-screen when transitioning between sources!

Work with Professional Microphones

With two independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs, you can connect desktop and lapel microphones. You can even connect a music player to generate introduction music after the live stream commences but before the program starts. With 2 extra stereo audio inputs, you can ensure a host and guest both have lapel microphones when doing interviews. All audio inputs to ATEM Mini include buttons on the panel for adjusting audio level and enabling inputs into the audio mixer. ATEM Mini features a full Fairlight audio mixer and all HDMI audio inputs and both microphone inputs are all connected separately to the audio mixer so you can live mix from all audio sources.

Automatically Converts Any HDMI Input Format

Each of the 4 HDMI inputs features its own dedicated standards converter. That means ATEM Mini will automatically convert 1080p, 1080i, and 720p sources to the video standard of the switcher! By default, the switcher will set its video format automatically, however you can also set the switcher to a specific video standard you need! The HDMI output is a true “aux” output so you can clean switch each HDMI input or program to this output. You can even “direct” switch input 1 to the HDMI output for low latency eSport productions. If you’re using program/preview switching, the HDMI out can be selected to preview, or on the ATEM Mini Pro model, it can be selected to display a full multiview.

Secret BroadcastFeatures Built In!

While ATEM Mini is easy to use, it’s also hiding very powerful broadcast features! If you’re interested in a career in the television industry, then ATEM Mini is perfect for training as it has the same features as switchers in high-end broadcast studios. You get an ATEM Advanced Chroma Key, Fairlight audio mixer, DVE, still store for graphics, and much more! Simply run the free ATEM Software Control app on Mac or Windows while connected via USB or Ethernet to access the extended features of the ATEM Mini. With a little experimentation, you can learn how to produce broadcast quality live production. Only ATEM Mini is a true broadcast switcher hidden in a tiny and affordable design!

Monitor Sources and Status with ATEM Mini Pro Multiview!

When doing larger live productions with multiple cameras, it’s very useful to see all your video sources at the same time on a single monitor. The ATEM Mini Pro model includes a professional multiview that lets you see all 4 video inputs, plus preview and program on a single HDMI television or monitor! Simply select M/V on the front panel video output control buttons to select multiview! Each camera view includes tally indicators so you know when each source is on-air, and each view also has custom labels and audio meters. You can also see the media player so you know what graphic is selected. Plus multiview even includes a status for recording, streaming, and the Fairlight audio mixer!

Control and Color Balance Cameras!

For a more broadcast-style workflow, you can remote control your cameras from ATEM Mini! Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models can work as studio cameras with control sent via the HDMI connection to ATEM Mini. That means you can control the camera settings as well as the camera’s color corrector from ATEM Software Control. Imagine changing ISO and tint, plus lens iris, focus, and zoom, so camera operators can focus on the shot! There are two types of control interface, CCU layout for traditional tint color control and a DaVinci color corrector interface allowing the camera’s built-in DaVinci color corrector to add incredible digital film “looks” to your live production!
