Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro

Bought this to enable recording and potential streaming of local community group meetings. If used with the optional (free) control software you can easily configure additional features such as source keying, Picture in Picture etc. It performs really well, boots very quickly and I can’t fault the video quality or latency. Only gripes are that you need to use the software to load different still images into the media player, and a second HDMI output would be really useful. I know both these features are available on the Extreme model, but this is significantly more expensive.

So please to have this switcher, my live editing looks more professional

Edit: Previously on this review: "My experience of this product is that it is a complete waste of money. The device itself seems simple enough and I was able to connect a camera and screen and therefore to view what the camera showed and the various 'picture in picture' type buttons worked OK but that's as far as it went. I have been unable to record anything to directly connected media (which is supposed to be straight forward - plug it in and press Record) and attempting to connect it to my PC so that I can use the software (that's a challenge figuring out what to download and getting it to actually download successfully) repeatedly failed until finally it said it needed an update, that failed and the device now appears to be dead." I can now report that having downloaded the latest software and installed it (which requires the previous version to be uninstalled - I have never known software updates to require a complete uninstall before you can 'update' it!) and having carried out a 'factory reset' the ATEM Setup software successfully updated the firmware (?) on the ATEM. The ATEM then performs as I had originally expected, plug and play, even to the point that it will record video (10 minutes so far) to a 4Gb memory stick (format as exFAT) with the right USB C data cable (why are there charge only USB Cs??), though I have got a recommended 1Tb SanDisk SSD to fall back on, had to buy this while I was trying to work out why on earth the device wouldn't record! Have now given it 3 stars and I might go higher if it continues to deliver what's required with longer recordings etc. The ATEM Control software on the PC is fairly unintuitive, best to watch the YT videos to know what it does but that's not how we want to use the device.

With the exception of The port 1 all the other ports flickers just like it is in the video! Less value for money sad i can’t return it when I go to know it’s a normal problem with this product! Functionality is very low

Having issues with broadcast on YouTube and Facebook. Voice transmissions is muted.
