The ATEM Mini Pro ISO’s ability to apply stunning transitions, fades, wipes, and DVE effects further cements its reputation as an all-in-one production powerhouse.

Engineered for both control and simplicity, the unit provides a tactile control surface with dedicated buttons for sources, transitions, keying, audio, and streaming, ensuring a responsive live switching experience even under pressure. Advanced users can dive deeper through the ATEM Software Control app available for macOS and Windows, offering fine-grained control over every parameter, from media pool management to camera color correction when paired with Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras.

When it comes to durability and portability, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO shines with its sleek, rugged design measuring just 9.35 x 4.07 x 1.38 inches and weighing approximately 1.2 pounds, making it perfect for small studios, mobile production rigs, or on-location streaming events.

With unmatched flexibility, powerful features, and an unbeatable value proposition, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO isn't just another live switcher — it’s the foundation for building a truly professional live streaming presence.

Features:

ISO Recording of All HDMI Inputs for Post-Production Flexibility

The ATEM Mini Pro ISO offers the unparalleled ability to record all four HDMI video inputs independently, in addition to the main program output. This creates "clean feeds" for each connected device, meaning users can later adjust camera angles, switch shots, or even completely re-edit the production. The switcher automatically saves this recording as individual video files, providing maximum creative freedom in post-production, a critical advantage for professional editors and streamers seeking polished, broadcast-quality outputs.

Auto-Generated DaVinci Resolve Project Files for Seamless Editing

Each live production session is not just recorded but also saved as a DaVinci Resolve project file, complete with synced video and audio tracks, transitions, cuts, and graphics. This dramatically shortens post-production time by allowing creators to immediately open their entire live session inside DaVinci Resolve with all edits ready for fine-tuning. It’s a powerful workflow enhancement, eliminating tedious syncing and saving hours of manual labor.

Built-In Hardware Streaming Encoder for Direct Live Streaming

The integrated hardware encoder allows direct live streaming to platforms like YouTube, Facebook Live, and Twitch without the need for a dedicated streaming computer or third-party software. Simply connect the switcher to the internet via Ethernet and start streaming instantly. This makes live streaming more reliable, with less chance of frame drops or latency issues, crucial for events where performance and broadcast stability are non-negotiable.

USB-C Webcam Output for Universal Streaming Compatibility

The ATEM Mini Pro ISO features a USB-C output that functions as a webcam device when connected to a computer. This ensures compatibility with a wide array of video conferencing and streaming applications, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and OBS Studio. It allows users to achieve professional multicamera broadcasts on platforms that traditionally only support basic webcam inputs, dramatically boosting production value without needing complex setups.

Multiview Output for Professional Monitoring

With the built-in Multiview feature, users can monitor all four HDMI inputs, plus preview and program outputs, along with vital information such as recording status, streaming status, and audio levels — all on a single HDMI display. This advanced monitoring capability, typically reserved for large broadcast studios, ensures that producers have full situational awareness during live production, allowing for smarter decision-making and error prevention.

Advanced Fairlight Audio Mixer with Professional Audio Tools

Embedded inside the ATEM Mini Pro ISO is the Fairlight Audio Mixer, supporting up to six channels with sophisticated audio processing tools such as a six-band parametric equalizer, compressor, limiter, noise gate, and audio-follow-video capabilities. With control over both HDMI-embedded audio and external 3.5mm microphone inputs, users can create professional sound mixes in real-time, ensuring that their streams sound as polished as they look.

Chroma Key and Upstream/Downstream Keyers for Pro-Level Graphics

The built-in chroma keyer enables users to create seamless green-screen effects, making virtual sets, dynamic backgrounds, or special effects easily achievable. Upstream and downstream keyers allow real-time insertion of logos, graphics, lower-thirds, and other branding elements into the live broadcast. These advanced features give creators a way to deliver engaging, branded content that rivals expensive studio productions.

DVE for Picture-in-Picture Effects and Custom Transitions

The Digital Video Effects (DVE) processor allows users to position, resize, and overlay video sources with customizable picture-in-picture layouts, ideal for interviews, gaming streams, and instructional videos. The DVE also enables sleek custom transitions like squeezes, pushes, and wipes, helping productions feel dynamic and professionally directed.

Real-Time Format and Frame Rate Conversion on All Inputs

Each HDMI input features real-time format and frame rate converters, ensuring that any connected camera, laptop, or media device is automatically adjusted to match the switcher’s output settings. This eliminates compatibility issues and allows users to mix different sources without needing external converters, greatly simplifying setup and ensuring seamless integration.

Direct Recording to External USB Drives in H.264 Format

Users can plug external USB drives directly into the switcher's USB-C port to record high-quality H.264 video files with embedded AAC audio. This offers instant, efficient capture of both program outputs and ISO feeds without needing additional hardware, delivering files that are immediately ready for online upload or further editing.

Compact and Portable Design with Pro-Level Features

Despite its professional-grade capabilities, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO is incredibly compact and lightweight, measuring only 9.35 x 4.07 x 1.38 inches and weighing just 1.2 pounds. Its sleek form factor makes it ideal for mobile productions, small studios, home broadcasting setups, corporate webinars, and on-the-go streaming events where space and portability are crucial.

Robust Build Quality with Efficient Power Consumption

Designed for intensive use, the ATEM Mini Pro ISO runs efficiently at only 36W and includes a robust external 12V DC power supply with international socket adapters, making it travel-ready for global streaming needs. Its operating temperature range from 5°C to 40°C ensures reliable performance in diverse environments, while its durable build quality protects it against the rigors of frequent transport and heavy daily use.
