ATEM MINI EXTREME | What you need to know! 

Got a question about the ATEM Mini Extreme / Extreme ISO? Put it below and I'll reply to as many as possible! The best ones will be included in my next Q&A video. Enjoy 😊

Great walkthrough of the new features . I’ll have my Atem extreme on Friday. Looking forward to it.

Hi Alex, I have a question. My Extreme just arrived and it's great, got everything up and running quickly. But the options for colour bars seems to have gone. It's no longer assigned to a source button (although there is a button for it on the Select Bus). I used to have this set as my startup state because it's a quick and easy way to see everything is working when you power up. Is there a way to assign the bars to a button?

Thanks for the deep dive compared to other reviewers. Looking forward to your virtual set demonstration.

Thanks for this! Got me excited. Mine arrives tomorrow!!

Another solid episode. I love the 2 keyers and 2 HDMI outputs. Huge improvement.

Thanks. Your video son the ATEM Mini Pro ISO really helped me take the plunge. I'm just amazed at the pace of progress and will be seriously thinking of upgrading to the the EXTREME ISO. BTW I discovered that you can connect two SSDs to the ATEM Mini Pro ISO using a USB-C to USB3.1 Gen 2 hub (e.g. StarTech's UCB-C to 4x USBA 10Gbps hub with 2x Samsung T5 drives - and it will switch from one disk to the other as the first becomes full). I've yet to work out if the same technique can be use with OTG mode to make it possible to use webcam mode at the same time - but there's probably an issue with the computer and switch wanting to use the SSDs at the same time).

I bought this he ATEM mini pro iso a few months ago. Love it, still learning it. I agree with you about NDI support. Keep my existing ATEM and upgrade later in the year for ISO. Looking forward to your other videos on production flow!

Great video. I saw in the comments it's shipping soon so that is great news! I preordered day of release from Adoroma and was 5th in line so I'm hoping I may have it by next week. Cheers m8!

Thank you Mr. Alex and I am looking forward to the videos you promised to make! See you and THEM (videos) soon! Take care and thank you again!

What I needed Ordered I got a mini first, and since I already had over eight cameras from doing wedding video started thinking about it and ran that into another ATM mini pro I got. Wanted to set this all up in a band studio for obvious streaming reasons as well as use in the future for weddings etc. this is exactly what I need! And for those of you that don’t know strata pro also recently updated their software app for controlling the black magic Atem I’ve been using it prior and now they’ve got an actual preset for such! This super helps me as the actual black magic units are across the room in the studio and I am playing keyboards singing lead vocals and harmony as well as controlling the lights and running the sound now also live 8 camera video production from iPad! Really do love it I was always doing overkill and did 8 to 10 cameras at all weddings... and was getting into shooting 360 video for the band... This is really going to be fun! Got a green screen for Christmas! Love to be able to afford black magic cameras😬🎤🎹🎸🥁🔊 Thx so much for all your help! Any advice in the future for how one could slowly get into purchasing may be the lower end for using which black magic cameras for live concert and/or wedding video streaming would be much appreciated? mine are a accumulation of many different video cameras as well as regular cameras & 360 and I use final cut!

You always great Alex. Thanks!

Hey Alex, thanks for your content. Best reviews I've seen so far. Informative, on point, professional and entertaining. Thumbs up! 👍👍👍

With 2 XLR audio inputs, it would be perfection. 🙌

Just got the iso pro, and it's already obsolete😭😭

Yeeeea...I'll pitch you a sub. Good info, well presented. Deserved. Keep up the good work, man. 😎

Looking forward to the supersource video!

Thank you Alex, and great presentation. I can't wait getting my ATEM Mini Extreme ISO which is expected by mid March 😅 look forward to your videos too.

Thank you. Great package. Great information. Appreciate your enthusiasm.

It’s the gift that keeps on giving

I was waiting for this video for the whole time since it was announced. Finally

Thank you Alex. Great information as always. You are a great resource and I appreciate all your help. I have the ISO on order

Excellent video- thanks and the new devices look incredible. I can’t help but think that there are lots of people like me that only have 3 or 4 cams/sources, but really could use the dual usb c connections (one for cell phone streaming and the other for ISO SSD files) and dual HDMI outs. I also like the small form factor of the old ATEM MINI PRO ISO. Maybe an updated version ATEM MINI PRO ISO - version 2 with the form factor as the old model + 2 usb and 2 hdmi?

My extreme arrived yesterday. Really impressed although a bit of a learning curve from my mini pro.

Nice video, explaining these new video mixers. I have two questions: 1. Are the mic inputs for connecting a stereo source, for example from an audio mixer? 2. Do the HDMI inputs/outputs support 4k video resolution?

Alex your videos are SO great! Thanks a lot for sharing!

Thanks for the video! Good overview.

Great video …. Alas I can’t see why they can’t have mp4 files in the media player for stings or animations

I just cancelled my order. I’d like to master the advanced features of my Pro ISO before jumping into this one.

I’ve been using the highest end switchers for 20 years... I’m blown away. Methinks I’d add fibre or SDI interface to finish off the system.

I think if so many features are added to just small device and we use them all together like 8 camera inputs recroding in iso plus streaming plus supersource plus macros and a webcam dont u think it will overheat or start loosing frames?

Great job. Helped tremendously!! BTW, ironically it was a superb video on some sophisticated equipment, yet a cheap pop filter would have made it much easier to listen to. It happens to me on my mics too..

How would you get 4 feeds if people are in different locations? Where is your super source video? I couldnt find it.

NDI addition would be good. NDI seems very expensive but maybe BMD will disrupt that market by selling convertors from HDMI (or SDI) to NDI at similar prices to their mini convertors.

Waiting for this next extreme video Alex,,, thanks

looking forward to that workflow video..

Great presentation Alex! did you know the HDMI cable Brand that Blackmagic (Grant) uses everytime he connects Atems on the desk? im pretty sure are the same cables that uses in BM atem brochures/ads... they look good quality, and he risks connecting live and everytime works!! want those cables!!

Could I record it directly to Blackmagic CloudPod with Samsung T5?

Great vid! Any recommedantion for a usb c hub so we can use tethering and record the program as well at the same time?

Is this better to use with OBS or just use it without OBS?

Why the hell didn't they add video playback in the media player?

Extremely, informative video, really enjoyed it,,

Alex, you are awesome! So I'm assuming, if we were to use this for a conference, that we could use the HDMI outputs to throw different content up on two individually switched projector screens, use the ethernet out to live broadcast, and still record to hard disc using the second USB-C port? That would be sensational.

Thanks for this overview about the new features, i ordered the ISO Extreme last week and i'm looking forward to work with it - since i already use the Mini Pro and Mini Pro ISO i don't think there is a benefit of combining those two with the Extreme Model except having more sources which i doubt is necessary ...

Hello alex As ur suggestions we have purchased atem mini extreme for our temple. we use bmpcc 6k camera. We set recording at 1080. But when we connect the bmpcc 6k with atem extreme the recording settings of camera will automatically goes to 6k resolution. How can we adjust the camera recording settings aalways to 1080. Waiting for ur reply. You are the best guide for bmd products. Really Appreciate ur work.

I wanted the two HDMI outs so I can feed one to my LiveU Solo. I feel for situations like this it is better to have my PGM going to HDMI out 2 so I can easily switch from M/V to different camera angles on HDMI out 1 if I want to check something full size on my screen.

Missing a camera zoom button for those having power zoom lenses with BMPCC 4K/6K, anyone found a workaround, maybe with the macro buttons?

Amazing video

I'm currently a VMIX user, and I like it because of the ability to bring in video inserts and onscreen graphics built in. What kind of solutions are you using for bringing in animated graphics and inserting external videos into your production?

This looks amazing, but I wish they would have just added a second usb port to the smaller form factor. I know it is still mini by comparison, but now its too big for my mobile setup.

Hi Alex - Great review of the BM ATEM Extreme. Looking at the features, do you think that chroma key and down key will be able to be used during the same production?

Hi Alex, thanks a lot for your videos, big help! My question (not sure if it has already been asked): Do I get it right that the new camera control buttons on the ATEM Mini Extreme can't access the zoom function on the Software control?

NDI and Browser source are NOT coming NDI because it's licensed by newtek which are a competitor to blackmagic browser source because it is way too complicated to keep secure (and would require updates every week...)

This was great! - 2 questions... I am a premiere pro cc user - 1. do you think the Davinci file could be used in premiere? Is there a conversion process to think about?... AND 2 - Is there a live cam setup that could be done in premiere, to just skip the hard drive transfer of files, and push it directly into an editing program instead? - Thanks again! Great explanation!

There is a problem with Select Bus Buttons on ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. I use ATEM Software Control for setting Palettes like Luma. Chroma, Pattern & DVE and use ATEM Mini Extreme ISO Select Bus to apply these effect during live production. But the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO buttons dose not change to Red during ON AIR, If require I will send XML for reference, please advice.

Hi Alex, love your YT content. Question about the Extreme, which I own. The PIP buttons and the Key1 button are both linked to KEY1, so I cannot use them at the same time. How can I change the PIP (DVE) to KEY 2 or KEY 3? I like these buttons and don't want top make macro's for that. Thanx for your quick answer

I'm crazy about getting a Mini Pro ISO but I'm sure as soon as I get one, BMD will announce the Mini Pro ISO 2 with those extra USB and Audio outputs

Quick Question I have a ATEM mini pro iso and I was wondering is the way for me me just to get a Mini extreme without the ISO and use the ISO features on my mini pro and still have access to all the features of the extreme. Trying to figure out if I need to spend the extra money eztreme iso

Hi Alex, thank you so much for this video, just got my extreme ISO. But the green light (standby) doesn't appear

Sorry if you already covered and I missed it - but did BM explain if the audio monitoring jack will be customizable? My scenario is that I’ll be producing events where my talents would like to be able to listen to some channels (remote guests and pre-recorded videos), but not hearing themselves. It’s be very convenient setting this up directly through the Atem.

hope your having a great day

Hi, i plan on purchasing the Atem mini extreme iso, i was hoping to use the recording feature for live streams and video recordings using my two cannon XC-15s. Will it be Able to do that? Or will i have to purchase black magic cameras?

I just bought the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO, replacing the ATEM Mini Pro ISO. I cannot get any cameras to show up in OBS. Do I need to download new drivers for the Extreeme?

Remembering the difficulties that the Pro ISO had with the Samsung T7 and the SanDisk Extreme Gen 2, I'm really looking forward to hearing about what kind of disk it's going to take to record all 9+ files. I hoping that turning off record of some of the inputs will be an option.

Is there a way to record just specific cameras?

5:56 mind blown

Hi Alex, I have the Atem Mini Extreme. For an upcoming virtual open day we want to playback some video media. How do I do this with the mini extreme as I can't seem to work it out. Thanks. Paul

To record with ISO, is this done only using black magic cameras of you can record other cameras such as Cannon M50s?

Great presentation, thank you! Do you (or anyone else reading this) by chance know whether or not BlackMagic will come up w/ a Linux version of the control software? It already runs on OSX, so a proof of concept already exists anyway ...

Is there a minimum (GPU) or operation System for Windows for the Atem Mini Pro ISO. Can I use a small Celeron Laptop for my Streams? I use the Atem Mini Pro ISO with OBS and I stream to RU-vid. I had a ASUS Rog7 i7 8th Gen, but with all the off site streaming, the Laptop fell and broke... so If I can get a smaller less expensive Laptop for the streaming, that would be great. On Black Magic website I can only find that you need Windows 10 64bit...

I can see myself to get this switcher with a monitor inside of a pelican and have it as a mobile station. The pricing it's insane!

Still no video in the media player. That sucks. I am sick of losing an input to cut to ads.

Hi Alex Thanks for this very helpful video. I am very interested in ndi-technology. So if i would have something like the birddog ptz keyboard (and a birddog camera as well as other cameras linked via ndi), woul i use the atem mini extreme for webstreaming and recording the different cameras? Or can i do all this in ovs or in the ptz keyboard itself?

which boom arm are you using for you RODE mike, I can't find one that fits?

mind blowing !!!

Hi Alex, thanks for great videos. I have an ISO Extreme, wondering with iso recording a virtual studio setup, is there a way to get the isolated camera feeds with the chroma key for each camera? Also when using the supersource how to include the key for any of the source cameras. Thanks, Siguroli.

great to see your review. my question is does ATEM MINI can stream direct to mobile device by using USB Type-C? thank you

Hi Alex, thanks for the resourceful video. Will the phone be charged when connected for hotspot? Otherwise it will die quite quickly?

hey alex, have you tried using both webcam output while streaming through the ethernet port? sorry if you already mentioned it and i missed it, if you did do link me to that portion of the video thanks!

Thanks for beta testing...Ill be sure and buy one in several months after they get the bugs taken care of...

Thanks for the video!!!! I Got the Extreme Iso. but one of my camera is only capable of 4:3 aspect ratio, while the others are 16:9 .... how do I get the 4:3 aspect ratio to display as a 16:9 and keep the values both in s/source and program? thanks

What i'm missing from BM is a PTZ camera

Great video. Can the streaming bridge be used along with streaming to streaming services?..

Amazing content!

Thank you for your channel. Great content. On the ATEM Mini Extreme, is there a way to configure the multi view (or some other output method) such that the connected HDMI monitor is filled with the PROGRAM with audio levels visible? You can press a button on the ATEM Mini Extreme and tell the multi view port to output the PROGRAM. That's good, but it doesn't have the audio levels on it. When I'm running a show, I need to setup a large monitor with the PROGRAM and the audio levels. Is this feasible?

How's the audio sync? I know that was an issue with the ATEM Mini Pro...any fix for that?

Does the stem mini extreme allow one nitrate for live streaming and another for recording higher nitrate to SSD?

Which version of Resolve is required?

With all of the extra inputs and media now associated with the ISO Extreme, will you originally-recommend SSDs (540 MB’s) be enough or do I need to upgrade to the San disk Gen 2?

Can you use this to record shows/movies on Netflix, HBO, Hulu etc ..?

Hi Alex, found your channel about a week ago and watched all your mini playlist, but still managing to confuse myself lol. Your videos are epic btw, thank you so much for doing them. On one of your videos I am sure you gave an email to enquire about 1:1 coaching on the mini, but I can't for the life of me find it now. I hope you don't mind me asking here. I am a startup wedding videographer and have been asked about live streaming ceremonies and have two potential clients already. I have been down some major rabbit holes trying to work out the best solutions and keep coming back to the LiveU Solo for a bonded connection, but given that it only has one HDMI or SDI input cannot get my head round how I would use the Atem Mini Pro to not only send the program view to the Solo, but also be able to see the multi view on another screen and/or my laptop. I am pretty certain that I will only ever need to stream to one platform, but was also thinking of guest interaction options using Zoom. I've also looked at using my laptop for the stream using OBS and something like speedify to bond internet connection from venue wifi/ethernet, a mobile 4G router and my phone. My budget is about 2k to get everything I need including all the cabling to my 3 cameras. Would ideally like to be able to give couples a usb drive with their ceremony recording on it straight after too. Sorry this is such a big post and appreciate if you prefer to charge for such consultation/advice. Many thanks James

Can you change the shape of PIP frame, for example , into a rounded corner frame, or into a Hexagon shape frame if you like?

Looking so much forward to your demo of the ATEM mini extreme ISO. When can we expect to hear from you? Best Jacob from denmark

Is it possible to connect 2 cameras to the ATEM Mini and have them as separated sources on Streamlabs OBS to make a split screen with those 2 cameras?

Would the phone Hotspot tethering work with a little "hot box" like Verizon mobile jetpack

Hi Alex, Great channel! Any idea if the extreme will play nice with a 5k monitor? currently, plugging the atem mini into hdmi on my mac mini immediately downgrades the resolution of my main 5k monitor - even tho it's connected via usb C - i've not been able to find any way around this and it's really frustrating?

Still waiting for atem mini extreme pro max..

Does the ISO record the combined camera/background when using the advanced keyer function on that input

Hi Alex any suggestions on how, and if one can use the MV output of the ATEM Mini Pro and not send to program output ? I'm not able to afford the Extreme just yet.

Cool product, but I'm trying to understand why someone would want this instead of something like wirecast or vmix with some cards installed for i/o? Not trying to insult anyone's workflow, but software seems more flexible no? As an example, I'm frequently asked to put 5 or 6 remote guests on screen at once, and it's never a problem in Wirecast. This seems like it would be more of an issue. For the multicam switching, I totally love the mini, but it's more of an optional accessory for me if I'm honest.
