Excellent Effects

While aimed as an entry point to the world of hardware switchers, the ATEM Mini Pro is packed full of effects and options to give you a sleek, polished look straight out of the box, so you can compete with seasoned professionals from day one. Featuring a DVE for picture-in-picture effects, it's quick and easy to layer images from two of your HDMI inputs at once, ideal for cutting to guest reactions during an interview, or displaying video from a computer while keeping your face in frame. Utilising the keyer functions, you can integrate green or blue screen effects, as well as incorporating custom graphics, special information, or guest names, letting you step up your live presentations in any form.

Direct Streaming and Multiview

New to the ATEM Mini Pro, an Ethernet port allows you to stream directly to your platform of choice, allowing you to stream without the need for a computer, or to save your computer's processing power whilst still streaming its display. Additional USB outputs can also be used to stream to a USB flash or hard drive, to record your content for later editing and upload. For easy, accurate monitoring, the included Multiview allows you to check your camera inputs, media, and audio, so you can make sure your show runs as smoothly as possible.
