Product Information

Full details

The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Pro ISO is an advanced live production switcher designed for content creators, streamers, and small production teams. Its key benefit is the ability to record multiple streams, including clean feeds of all inputs, for post-production editing, with the added advantage of generating a DaVinci Resolve project file. A potential caveat is the learning curve associated with its advanced features and ISO recording capabilities.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 'ISO' model?

The 'ISO' model allows you to record all five video streams (program output and four individual inputs) as separate files simultaneously. This enables extensive post-production editing, including re-cutting, color correction, and audio mixing.

Can I stream directly to any platform?

The ATEM Mini Pro ISO has a built-in hardware streaming engine that supports RTMP protocol. This means you can stream directly to popular platforms like YouTube Live, Facebook Live, and Twitch, as well as any other service that accepts RTMP streams.

What kind of USB drive should I use for recording?

For reliable recording, it is recommended to use a fast USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1 flash drive. The drive must be formatted to HFS+ (for Mac) or ExFAT (for Windows). Multiple disks can be used for non-stop recording.

Does the ATEM Mini Pro ISO have a built-in multiviewer?

Yes, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO includes a multiview output that displays all camera inputs, program preview, and status information on a single monitor, which is crucial for live production monitoring.

How do I update the firmware on the ATEM Mini Pro ISO?

Firmware updates are managed through the ATEM Software Control application. Download the latest software suite from the Blackmagic Design support page, connect the ATEM Mini Pro ISO to your computer via USB, and follow the instructions within the software.

What video resolutions and frame rates does it support?

The ATEM Mini Pro ISO supports HD video resolutions including 720p and 1080p, with frame rates up to 60 fps.

Is it possible to connect and use professional microphones?

Yes, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO features a professional audio mixer with inputs for microphones (via the HDMI sources) and allows for advanced audio processing like EQ, compressor, limiter, and noise gate.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on output

Verify all HDMI cable connections are secure on both the input and output devices. Check that the input source is powered on and outputting a compatible video signal. Ensure the ATEM Mini Pro ISO is powered on and configured for the correct input.

USB drive not recognized for recording

Ensure the USB drive is formatted correctly (HFS+ or ExFAT). Try using a different USB flash drive, preferably USB 3.0 or faster. Check the drive's compatibility list on the Blackmagic Design website if available.

Live stream is dropping frames or unstable

Check your internet connection speed and stability. Ensure you are using a wired Ethernet connection rather than Wi-Fi. Reduce the streaming bitrate in the ATEM Software Control settings if your bandwidth is insufficient.

Audio issues (no sound, distorted sound)

Check audio connections from your sources. Use the audio mixer in the ATEM Software Control to verify levels, EQ, and dynamics settings for each input. Ensure the correct audio source is selected for the program output.

DaVinci Resolve project file not linking correctly

Ensure the recorded files are in the correct folder structure on the USB drive as created by the ATEM Mini Pro ISO. Make sure you are using a compatible version of DaVinci Resolve. Verify that the media pool images are also saved with the video files.
