ATEM Mini Pro ISO
This device makes it possible for the first time to integrate live production into the post-production editing workflow without an OB van or large control room. The ATEM Mini Pro already offered live switching and streaming functions. The ISO model builds on these functions and expands them. In addition, the ISO model has a new 5-channel H.264 recording engine. This makes it possible to record five separate streams in real time.
It is also possible to save as an editable DaVinci Resolve project. In this respect, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO saves all audio and graphic files of the media pool together with a DaVinci Resolve project file. Opening and editing live productions, for example refining the cut or remixing the sound, is thus prepared with a single click. The sync-bin function Resolves with its multiple view also allows new settings to be selected. Once a link has been created with the project, users can access the BRAW files from the camera for colour grading and finishing.
Four separate HDMI inputs allow up to four video cameras to be connected. Incoming video sources that deviate from the video standard are all re-synchronised by the mixer. Connecting several video devices is therefore possible without any problems. The four HDMI inputs are also equipped with a separate standard converter. Accordingly, an ATEM Mini automatically converts 1080p, 1080i and 720p sources to the video standard of the mixer. The HDMI output is a genuine aux output and therefore allows both individual HDMI and programme feeds to be output.
Direct recording of streaming data using a USB flash memory is also supported. This method enables long recording times in the same H.264 video files – including streamed ACC audio. The user can then upload these files directly to an online video portal.
Other features of the ATEM Mini Pro ISO include internal support for recording all inputs as separate ISO files, the USB output functioning as a webcam, the free ATEM software control application for Mac and Windows, an internal media memory for 20 RGBA graphics for titles or opening boards and logos or the multiview function for monitoring all cameras.
The ATEM Mini Pro ISO is available immediately and costs 895 US dollars.
ATEM Streaming Bridge
The ATEM Mini Pro ISO is accompanied by the ATEM Streaming Bridge. This video converter allows H.264 to be received by any ATEM Mini Pro and converted to SDI and HDMI. The ability to send videos to any recipient via an Ethernet network or the Internet demonstrates the potential of the ATEM Mini Pro as a remote production tool. This also offers the advantage that broadcasters can connect directly to the video link. This simplifies collaboration between global contributors. This advanced workflow is made possible thanks to the converter, which utilises H.264 codecs for higher quality at low data rates.
It would also make it possible to provide multi-camera productions for live streaming on streaming platforms or business presentations. The ATEM Streaming Bridge harmonises perfectly in tandem with an ATEM Mini Pro as a remote broadcast studio.
The ATEM Streaming Bridge will be available from August this year and costs 245 US dollars.
