Extreme 8-in/2-out Video Mixing and More!

Looking to punch up your content with powerful video switching, controls, and video effects? The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme strikes the perfect balance between features and user-friendly design! This 8-in/2-out video mixer packs all the functionality of the original ATEM Mini with expanded camera/media inputs for up to eight devices plus audio mix controls, streaming via Ethernet, direct recording to USB flash disks, a headphone output, and more. Whether it’s for business, pleasure, gaming, eSports, investment, or education, the Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme is easy to use and packed with endless possibilities! It makes pro-level broadcasting and production a reality anytime, anywhere.

Step up to professional-level content

A great video mixer can change the way you approach making content, and the ATEM Mini Extreme is no exception. With up to eight camera/media inputs, you can seamlessly blend close cams, wide shots, computer displays, music, green screens, and more — all stitched together with built-in effects and controls at your fingertips! Choose from a variety of transition effects with blend and timing options; control border color, width, position, and direction; and even dive into a media pool where you can store graphics, stills, branding, and more for live recall! With tools like these, pro-level content creation has never been so easy. The ATEM Mini Extreme’s channel buttons are large enough to operate solely by feel — a great feature for both dedicated producers and on-screen personalities who need discrete camera control within arm's reach. Sweetwater production pros really appreciate the ATEM Mini Extreme's built-in video standard conversion that makes short work of automatically pairing multiple cameras together into a unified format.

Simplified streaming, recording, and more

With Blackmagic ATEM gear, livestreaming is just as easy as recording. The device features a built-in hardware streaming engine with ethernet output. Computer software essentially detects the mixer's output as a single webcam signal, which lets the mixer stream via Facebook, YouTube, and other major platforms (as well as work with common streaming software such as Open Broadcaster and XSplit Broadcaster).

Mobile data and external recording

Lost in the woods and need to send an S.O.S.? You could call the authorities. But if you have cell service, you could hook up the ATEM Mini Extreme to your mobile phone and stream using cell data. In short, anywhere you have cell service can be turned into a livestream! What’s more, the ATEM Mini Extreme also allows recording to an external disk such as a USB drive (H.264 video, AAC audio) for even more mobile possibilities. You could essentially stream using your phone’s data while recording direct to a USB drive — no desktop or laptop required!

All about that audio

The ATEM Mini Extreme can connect both desktop and lapel microphones to its dual independent 3.5mm stereo audio inputs. You’ll easily be able to monitor sound via the rear panel’s headphone output and control the audio levels with dedicated buttons on the Mini’s face. You’ll also benefit from a Fairlight audio mixer for robust audio control and seamless mixing between all your sources. Each input channel sports extensive audio controls including 6-band EQ, a robust compressor, a limiter, a noise gate, full stereo panning, and more. Plus, you can configure the ATEM Mini Extreme’s software to automatically mix inputs for switching and blending on the fly with stress-free ease.

Best Church livestream product ever.
Best Church livestream product ever. This device is amazing. I have set these into about 60 Church locations. Simple to use with limited training of staff.

Problems after 14 months
The first 14 months of using the ATEM Mini Extreme Switcher was a good experience. Then we began to occasionally receive a YouTube Cache full notice and our LiveStream would either stop all together or buffer. This happened off and on for 4 months. (In doing online research I found we were not the only ones having issues.) Then for the next four Sundays in a row it was a constant problem. Our viewers were getting frustrated - but not near as frustrated as we were. Thank heavens we were always recording. In doing troubleshooting we found that the download speed to the computer through the switcher was at an average of 35-39. When connecting the Internet directly from the router to the computer it was well over 600 download speed - which told us there was a problem when the Internet went through the switcher. The problems with the YouTube Cache kept getting continuously worse so we bypassed Livestreaming through ATEM and went straight through YouTube, by doing this there was terrible audio with our streams (and many complaints). I had been installing updates whenever they were available and I was told to delete the software and install an earlier version. After doing that the software would say no switcher connected. After working HOURS with the A/V professionals that had installed our equipment we still had no success. Finally, we made the decision to purchase a new switcher - just after 14 months - which was a very costly decision, but necessary. The past month we have not been able to LiveStream at all - we have been recording and uploading the recordings to YouTube. Needless to say - our new switcher will not be an ATEM Mini Extreme.
