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

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.

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.
