Overview

Features

• Transitions

1. Cut - Once you press the cut button, the ATEM MINI changes from your current program source to the preview source instantly. You can also directly cut program sources by selecting on the ATEM MINI.
2. Mix - Mix or dissolve transition enables the gradual transition from one source to the next by creating a smooth blend. You can set custom timings to manually blend the transition.
3. Wipe - ATEM MINI includes built-in wipe patterns like circles, diamonds, squares, and more. Shapes and patterns can be inverted or softened, and can even have customized colored borders.
4. Dip - Dip transition is also a gradual blend that includes either a solid color, graphic, or another clip between the two video sources.
5. DVE (Digital Video Effects) - This device has a built-in powerful DVE processor that can enable you to push, spin, squeeze, or swoosh your live video from one camera to the next with incredible built-in transitions. DVE transitions can be flip-flopped and reversed, giving you even more transition options.

• Upstream Keyer

1. Linear key - Get clean, high-quality results with linear keying by using two separate sources for the fill and the key to create one video image. The fill signal contains the video to be stacked over the background, while the key signal contains a gray scale mask to cut out, or mask, the area to be filled.
2. Pattern key - You can combine live images with any of the built-in wipe patterns to combine live images or graphics with geometric shapes. You get full control over softness, symmetry, size, and position to create unique picture-in-picture effects that can be transitioned to as easily as any live source.
3. Luma key - This works best with high-contrast images. e.g. If you have white elements on a black background, you can use the contrast to cut the black background and replace it with live video or graphics.
4. Chroma key - Chroma keys are a powerful way of combining live images in real time and are used daily for TV weather forecasts. The presenter typically stands in front of a green or blue background and the chroma keyer will remove only that color and combine it with another image, such as a video or graphic.

• Downstream Keyers

This switcher includes one downstream keyer, hence, you can add high-quality graphics like logos, bugs, and titles from the built-in media player over the live stream program output. Downstream keyers are the last layers of keying, so they overlay all video switched to the main program output.

• Audio Mixer

With an in-built audio mixer, you can control both your camera and external audio with precision level and balance adjustments on all six available audio inputs and two channels. It also features selectable On/Off/Audio-Follow-Video per channel, plus it has separate gain control per channel, level and peak metering, and new Fairlight audio enhancements such as compressor, gate, limiter, six bands of parametric EQ, and master gain control.

• Monitor Output

You can view your sources, graphics, preview, and program output on a single screen via the HDMI monitor output.

• Media Player

You can get rid of external character generators by storing up to 20 broadcast quality RGBA graphic files in the media pool. The media player appears as input sources to your switcher. You can transition to graphics as full-frame video, or feed them to the keyers for overlaying video. Image formats such as PNG, TGA, BMP, GIF, JPEG, and TIFF are also supported.
