ATEM Mini Pro - In Depth Review & COMPLETE Tutorial !

if you're considering live-streaming you've probably come across this product the 8a Mini Pro now there's a lot of hyper on this product at the moment and it's completely out of stock everywhere probably because once configured it makes live streaming as simple as this you just plug it in you select your camera here you press the unaired button in the YouTube interface there we go and then I'm just press go live and move here we go we're live here there's not even any on/off button it's just like turn on press on air off the stream and plug I'm very excited my unit arrived and I think I have enough experience now to give you a complete walkthrough now I know I look very enthusiastic but let's be clear I've purchased it myself for upcoming projects so there's no sponsorship no contracts or no bias that would affect my opinion starting with a few technical explanations I will then go through most of the features show you how it works compare it with the standard 8 and mini and then give you my brutally honest opinion with the positives and the negatives so let's start with a short introduction of what it does and then we'll move on to how you can configure your first live stream nowadays there are two major competitors for life multicam streaming the first one mostly involves a computer in which you feed one or more cameras horses with a capture card then you can do your life editing at overlays and FX using a dedicated software and that software will then encode the output in real time and send it over to the Internet now the issue with this workflow is that it often requires a lot of computer power it probably won't work very well on laptops if you use more than one camera overall it's not always very reliable and will often introduce a lot of latency which means that you won't be able to export your life outputs to a big video display in front of the live audience for instance the second comparing workflow more common among professionals separates all of these tasks so that they can each be done by a piece of equipment that is specifically designed to do the job the 8-minute Pro is a kind of miniaturization of this second workflow it's actually a capture card a sound card a sound mixer a switcher or controller and encoder all in one single device in terms of design it's made with some sort of plastic but it looks very professional and it's heavy enough so that when you mess around of the cables it won't move around all around the place now enough talking let's set up our first live stream here's how you can configure your first live stream with the device so you connect the 12 volt power connection here then you start connecting your first camera so here it's this camera we're connecting so we're connecting it in HDMI one inputs then we're going to connect this to our router so I will give it internet access and here we're using a 4G cellular router with a SIM card if you want to control the ATM in eco through the ATM software that runs on PC or Mac you need to make sure that your computer is connected to the same network as the 8a mini pro so here my computer is connected through Wi-Fi to that 4G router as well then once you've made sure your computer is connected to the same network as the 800 Mini Pro you go to black magics website here you download the item switch update which includes items software control here once it's installed you just run it and then so it's gonna say no switcher connected oh and here it magically connected but if it doesn't connect you can go to file connection and here you can see the ATM switches and select the one that you want to connect to now down here we have one main tab for the switcher one tab for our media one for the audio and one for the camera control before we start to configure the streaming make sure that the proper inputs is selected on the 8 o mini Pro so here camera is an input 1 input 1 is selected now back into the ATM software control we are going to head into the output tab on the top right select YouTube primary server and we need to get that key from YouTube that's stream key so we are going to head off to youtube there create here on the top right a go live now that we are in the YouTube live studio we are going to create a stream there dismiss this and then here is what we're interested in here you have the stream key that is actually the code that you can copy here and paste into the key section of the item software control the tab were just before here we can say yes swimming low quality is perfect and then we can press here on air and if we go back to the YouTube dashboard we can see that there is it is starting to receive here a connection from the 8 mini Pro so now as you can see there we are so we can see the video now and we just have to do one more thing which is clicking the go-live button here and what this will do is it will just creates the live stream and averred casts the live stream to the audience this button this on-air button here is the exact same as the own air button here on the 8th mini so the next time you want to go live on the same channel if it's the same destination same settings etc you just have to press the on-air button and then in the YouTube dashboard you need to press the go live button there is a feature in the YouTube studio that can detect when you press the unaired button and it will start making the live stream public as soon as you press it on air button just as we're wondering the process is pretty much the same with the other streaming platforms such as Facebook and Twitter you just have to grab that key from the dashboard and copy and paste it into the 800 mini pro if you're always swimming to the same destination to the same channel you just have to press this button next time and you don't have to do all this configuration again I'll talk about the swimming settings a bit later in the video another very simple way to livestream of this device is to plug the USB C connection at the back of the device to your computer so that you can use it as a webcam so here in the live YouTube studio instead of clicking on stream here we're going to select webcam there if we go down a little we're going to see that here we can select the Blackmagic 8 mini Pro table of the sound and the video instead of the Mac webcam now our next and as you can see it's taking the feed from the ATM mini Pro through the USB C input and now I can just go live as I would with the other method and I can do the same thing with Skype here if I go to Skype settings here I just go to audio and video and then here you can see instead of the of the webcam here I can just select the ATM mini Pro and I'm going to have a very high quality video it's a bit easier but you do need to rely on a computer each time or if all the drawbacks mentioned earlier now I talked a lot with my hands so let's say I wanna at the top view of my hands from that camera over there so I just connect that ass top view camera to a switcher on the second input here and I can also come connect a computer here on the third inputs over there lights so when you have more than one input you definitely want to add an external monitor to see what you actually are streaming so you just connect it to the HDMI outputs of the sweatshirt at the back here now as you can see I can switch from input 1 to input 2 with almost no latency input 3 input 2 again and it's it's pretty it's pretty reactive as you can see that there's really almost no I think it's your since here almost zero latency or something so this is typically something where a computer would struggle to do at that that speed actually so as you can see for now when I'm switching between video sources it's a simple cut as a transition but I can press that Auto button here and select another transition here for example mix and then it will add this very smooth fade between the video sources when I switch from one to another I can take the dip to white option here there and then I can just do wipe transition like so or like a wipe with a fade which is pretty nice and I can set the duration here to be very very long ought to be extremely short there there is also this very practical fade to black button here on the bottom right which will actually just create a black fade which is practical at the end of the stream or if anything goes wrong during the live streaming it's worth noting that the device has an inbuilt video conversion system so it will convert almost any kind of video source to the output destination which can only be 1080p but you can set the frame rate to common frame rates so just to be clear for the moments this monitor is showing their life edits that is going on err so it's showing what the audience actually sees now you will probably prefer to use this monitor to see all of the different cameras on the same screen on this part of the switcher you can select what view you will have on that external monitor so you can lock the monitor to one of the four inputs which means that the monitor will never change regardless my edit as you can see all I can also toggle this multi view function here now you can see all of the cameras here as well as streaming status and the lower part of the screen if it's on air the data rate etc that top right window it's called the program window or PGM and it shows what the audience actually sees and you can see that if we switch between the program so what the audience sees and the multi-view it corresponds to this top right window right so this is always what the audience will see now let's say your life swimming in events if you accidentally press the wrong button or everyone is going to see it so it can look a bit unprofessional this is why you can activate an other safer switching mode which is called program preview if you go to this icon there at the end you have the switching mode here program preview or canvas so here let's activate the program preview switching modes say let's put our video output back to program or PGM so now we have on this screen what the audience actually actually see so now if we switch video sources you can see that it has absolutely no impact on the final result and this is because if we go back into multi view mode here you can see that when I switch sources it only changes the left window here so instead of directly cutting to your next shot you can switch your camera angles in what we call a preview window on the left here and then which means that when you touch the buttons it won't actually show change which is shown on air here you can really take your time to select which shot you would like after the current one here and then once you're satisfied with your choice you press this cut button and it sends that preview window on air to the right program window which is the window everyone sees so by preparing your next shots on the Left window and then sending it on the right window here using our the cat button you can actually avoid many mistakes and this is how professional TV switches work if you want to add a full screen a stale image as a source such as a logo for instance you have to load it in this media tab so go and get your picture here drag it into any of those slots here and then you drag it from one of the gallery seals into the media player here there we go you can now see it on the bottom left of the multi view here and if you wants to select it you just press the steel button here and it will show up on the main screen just as any other source here it's just like putting up a fifth video source except that here it's a still image now there's this thing I often tend to do which is putting the logo fullscreen in the program output and then in the preview I just select like this camera right there and if I start a small transition this is the transition bar with a crossfade if I move it just slightly like five or ten percents you can see it's doing a very subtle like transparency fade and I can just leave it there and so you have the logo and then some live action such as any audience who's waiting in a room before the event starts or something like this also very important thing when you install the ATM software it also installs a Photoshop plugins that allows you to send your graphics directly from Photoshop to the switcher now for this to work remember that your computer has to be on the same network as your ATM mini pro so let's just say I want to send this top logo here directly to my eighth item so I just go to file export and then item switch from media pool and then here I have to grab the switcher IP address in the aadum setup software here I just press this button and it will give me here the IP address so I just put that ap inside here and then it shows up so you can give it an he said one of these slots here and then you can directly send it to the media player like with it with the fullscreen logo you do exports and then if we go back into the media poll here you can see that the logo is in the gallery and in the media player as well now as you can see here for the moment it's just a full-screen image with a dark background so if I select the media here you can see that there is no background for the moment so in order to bring it on top of a video we need to use what is called a downstream key or dsk so we're going to head over the switcher tab here and then at the pallets a tab they're going to downstream key make sure feel and key souls are set to media player 1 and now if we want to bring the logo in front of the current video we just press the on-air button here and as you can see it just shows up on the program output we can also press Auto and it will show up with a small fade here and now once it's on air it will just stay there even though I switch inputs here so this is really practical to put like logo during the whole live stream in the ATM mini pro you have only one downstream key meaning that you can only show one logo at a time so if you want to change this you have to replace it in Photoshop and I can also send what we call lower thirds so lower thirds is this kind of stuff I'm gonna remove the logo I send this thing there and then here exports a two mini switch media pool and then yeah we'll just replace the current one so as you can see now we've got this this wonderful visual here if you want to follow a potatoe jets channel and then it will stay whatever happens so I can just leave it there for the whole rest of the video for the moment I just remove it to remove it you go into this control panel here and then press on air or Auto to have that smooth transition note that unfortunately you cannot send video clips into the switcher you can only do this with higher-end item switchers so the workaround is either to use a laptop that you send as an HDMI source here if I play this little video here you can see it coming up on the multi view and then just select it here by pressing input number three and then there we go so this is the most like simple way now there's a minor limitation to this method which is that you have to play the file at the exact moment it's on air without seeing you know the play ball the info the file the file name etc so what I usually do is using a dedicated video player so if you have although someone who has a high product player you can actually control it with the ATM mini pro just to show you I've connected my high products to do many approaches at the back there on input number four on the ATM mini Pro and it's also on the same network as the switcher so if I just go into settings here and go to hyperlink I've actually linked it there so I just say that my inputs Hypertech is input number four and I'll press auto off a feature is what I want to show you it's it's pretty neat what I really like is that it will start playing the video at the exact moment it is on air so on the motive view here you can see it's there on input four and now if I select input number four it will just start playing right away so it can be very cool to have like latency free instant transitions now as soon as I'm ready I can just say something like let's move on to the next part right now and it's just plain so this was on the multi-view now this is what the audience sees we'll move on to the next part right away so let's say I want to show a video of a software full screen but I also want people to see my hands if I'm DJing for instance all like if I want to show a PowerPoint full screen but we also want to see the presenter in a small window to do this we need to use an upstream key you start by selecting which video source you wanna see full screen so here in my case I select source number three since it's the computer and then I can just press this picture and picture on button that will show this little thumbnail off of me so I kept shortcuts here which means I can send it anywhere around the screen now if I go in the switcher page and in pilate's I I choose the upstream key here this is where I'm going to specify which of the cameras fits in this very small window so here it's camera 1 but I could select camera 2 as well and then here if I hover on the x position here I can just move it around like so or I can just make it how much bigger and then move it around just to to make it like the size I want and and the position I want as well and I can also add a little shadow here so here it's not very visible but I can add here a white border for instance here I can specify yeah width here so you can do all these things and then once it sets you just have to press by this on/off button and when you change input it just disappears so you need to bring it back all the time and we can do the same thing with a PowerPoint so instead of putting the item software I just go to powerpoints bring that full screen and you can see that now I have the PowerPoint here and then I have this little miniature here where I can put on the the person whose are speaking the presenter just the same way and for example when it's distracting and you just turn it off there I can play videos here and in this PowerPoint and then you know if I want to comment I'm just going to see yeah this is really this is a really inspiring video etc etc and blah blah and then turn it off I do find that it takes a bit of practice to get used to it because you know we're all used to having windows that we can move with the mouse or with a touchpad and and this can look a bit daunting at first so this would be like one of the drawbacks I found even though after so after some time yeah you know you get the hang of it another drawback is that there is only one upstream here which means that you can only apply this effect to one video you cannot put two videos side by side in front of a full screen background for instance unlike the higher end item switcher models I think that two of the higher end items models have this super sauce option which allows you to do exactly this you can put like two three four sources and a background video now let's see how we can do green-screen keying and integration I have a computer source on input three right now and what I want to do is have put this input for green screen source as a small thumbnail on the bottom left corner of the computer source here you can see what that looks like in the multi view here so we'll start by bringing up on the computer view full screen here and then in the ATM software we are going to go into the palette here the upstream key and we are going to go in the chroma tab here then we need to tell the switcher which green color to remove so we're going to click on chroma sample here and as you can see if you switch to multi view when you click on a chroma sample here it brings up in the preview window the green screen shot so as I drag this cursor over there it will also move a small a small target here on on the preview window and and then once so I just pick a color that is very close to the subject this green color here okay now we're done and then I'm gonna click again this button to exit the chroma picking mode there we go next we are going to select the program output here just to see things better in full-screen and we are going to press this key button on here and as you can see it's now keying starting to key the green screen input number four so here we can adjust a few settings tweak a few things such as the background like soften the edge really own I was playing a green flute so that that's not a very small thing to do when you're shooting in front of a green screen so let's go back to the keying here and now you can see that I can also adjust things such as brightness here contrasts and saturations and things like this as you can see here the green screen wasn't perfect there was a fan here there was a few a few folds here so to mask it out you just click on the mask option here and then you can adjust our here you see I can just cut out the right the right fan here make it a bit better and now we can do also things like moving it around if I click on the flying key here I can just move it around like so I can make it bigger of course like this okay and here it can sit there pretty a pretty nice feature and now when I select all those sources I can just bring it back here and here it will just still sit there so the keying quality is is pretty impressive actually because you know this switcher is very small and live King is very hard to do so I'm pretty impressed on on the green screen capabilities of course you do need to make sure that your green screen is well-lit and things like this to make it the best possible keying and once it's configured I just have to press the on and off key on the ATM to bring it back on and back off again an interesting thing is that you can apply the very same method to key out a lower third animation that you have done in After Effects or PowerPoint for instance so if I bring back my powerpoints I did a slide with here a lower thirds animation and you can do pretty much the same thing you can key it out I have to go back in the ATM settings and then select instead of camera for here I'm using a computer here so it's camera 3 and then we're going to do that same process put multi-view on click the chroma sample and just select this color here by putting the slider there and then come on sample there once I've selected the color here I can click again to turn it off now in the top view we're going to put the program outs and the key here so as you can see we have this very clean lower third integration so if I go back into the powerpoints um here there we go when I go to the next slide there we go so you can do specific powerpoints with all of the lower thirds animations and it's very easy to edit which is often you have last-minute changes to make to the names etc so it's pretty practical you can also do more advanced stuff in After Effects as well and now you can see the final result like so ok and whoa ok I didn't expect this another feature of the device is its sound capabilities so it's not just a video switcher it's also a 6 channel mixer that comes with many internal audio processing tools you have the four stereo audio inputs of the video sources but you also have a two-minute jack microphone or line serial inputs I was a little disappointed that there is no headphone jack on the device so to monitor the audio you have to connect your Jack headphone into your monitor here and the audio will go through the monitor output here which can be the motive view of a program monitor and then here it will carry the sound as you can see of me talking now just so you know the sound you're hearing right now is the sound from the boom microphone here that goes into the camera over there and then in through the HDMI into the 8m mini Pro here and then it goes into the program output here and I'm weak holding it with the multi-view here as you can see for each source you can turn the o0 on and off directly from the panel so here my camera one audio is on but I can turn enough if I bring in my comm I can also you know if I play a video on the computer here and then we can see it playing here I can just activate the audio here and now you can hear it I can also raise the level here I'll bring it down I can also activate the audio follow video feature which means that if I press this button here it will just turn on the audio when the source is live so if I go to program here if I select the computer here and AFVs on here there you can see it just puts the audio when the source is selected so if I go back to the main source you cannot hear anything if I go back to the to the computer it will bring the audio again so and there's a sort of a small fade which is pretty nice in the ATM software you can Pan the sound left alright you can add some EQ here now I don't know if it's a good EQ I'm not a professional sound engineer just to show you what we can do we can also adjust like add a compressor so that if I start to root if I start to shout as you can see it's just it's just putting it down so this can be very very practical if people start to applause someone starts to to shout like this you can also apply a gate effect here which means that when I'm not speaking the sound is just cats oh now I thought you might be interested to hear what it sounds like to put lavalier microphone into one of the inputs so here I have a wireless Sennheiser g3 I'm going to plug it into input number one like so I'll just activate the inputs by clicking the on button on microphone one here and then I I'm very slowly start to bring it to bring it up here so that now you can actually hear both and if I just you can hear okay so now you can hear on the the wireless lavalier microphone it's actually much better than the boom microphone above I should have I should have put this for the whole video whatever all of the inputs are stereo but if you have a specific workflow or you want to separate the inputs you just go to the settings here audio and then here you can split all of the audio channels all like just just one channel and and you can for instance for the the microphone I'm holding right now I can just kill one of the channels this can be very practical if you have a camera that has timecode running in the left channel or like Lavallee into the left channel and the camera audio as a backup in the right channel to me one of the greatest features of the switcher is its external disk recording through the USBC outputs of the panel so the process is very simple you start by formatting your SSD hard drive or thumb drive in hfs+ or exFAT once you've done that you just plug your disc at the back of the panel here who USB type-c and then as soon as you have that a green light indicator here you just press rec and then it's recording on the drive it's as simple as this and you can also stream at the same time as you're recording so it's not incompatible the file sizes are pretty small but to make sure you won't run out of space you can add a second hard drive using a USB C hub and it will switch seamlessly to the other disc when the first one is full note that here I'm using an SSD but you don't have to use an SSD you can use regular spinning a harddrive as well you can of course adjust the file name and the recording settings of the item bear in mind that the recording quality would be the exact same as the quality of the stream that is going over the internet so if you need a higher quality master file in pros for instance the best solution would be to connect an external recorder such as an a Thomas video assist on the output of the switcher here and by doing so you will not be able to use the multi-view because it's the same HDMI output as the program outputs in some situations were you not live streaming and you do not need the multi-view like let's say you're forming a play with only two cameras one fixed one moving and you want a high quality recording well this can be a pretty nice workflow now let's talk about streaming settings and tweaking in the output settings of the ATM software black magic already gives you six different streaming quality levels if you're interested I've done a real-world live-streaming test with all the three different settings one after the other are in the video on this channel you Hank you can have the link in the description this is also the place where you can edit your destination platform and set the corresponding stream key here don't worry if it only shows a Facebook twitch and YouTube because you can add other rtmp platforms by going into the Program Files directory and here you can find a streaming XML file that you can edit here with let's say notepad and here you can see all of the streaming settings you can add either a custom platform here you see here there's like Facebook there's the the rtmp URL and you also have a different streaming profile so you can edit both the URL of the rtmp server so you can add other platforms and you can also edit the page rates and by adjusting that bitrate you adjust the stream quality and the higher the bit rate the higher the quality of the stream but also the higher the internet connection you have to have of course having to dive into the Program Files and modifying this XML file in Notepad isn't very practical at least we have the opportunity to change it to whichever setting we want so I would be very frustrated if it wasn't possible it is also possible to stream to multiple platforms at the same time if you send your stream to a server that takes your feed and redirects it to different platforms such as cast air or we stream second option you could also send a first stream using the Ethernet connection using the Beltane encoder and a second stream through the USB see video outputs up to the computer and then you use like OBS or Wirecast to do a second live stream so the two options are possible if you want to control your item mini Pro with multiple computers and devices at the same time it's possible they just have to all be connected to the same router to the same network so as you can see here as I'm switching as I'm switching shots here the the two computers are changing their their buttons at the same time now this can be highly practical if you have one person who's adjusting like the sound and you have another person who's adjusting the camera settings I can I come back to that in a moment and let's say a third person who's in Photoshop are creating lower thirds and thing like this who's sending them to the switcher so you can have multiple people working on the switcher at the same time note that since the beginning of the video I used two computers it's just that sometimes I have to do a screen recording on one computer I have to control it with the other use one computer as a source so I have a bit of a complicated workflow right now but in general you just need one computer to control it and they also apps to control the item series there is this app I use which is called a strata light there's also strata Pro and here you can just switch inputs as long as the iPad is connected to the same network as on the item switcher so the iPad is connected in Wi-Fi to my 4G cellular router in addition to all the computers the tablets of the iPhone apps etc if you happen to have an atom advanced panel or the eighth of a camera control panel you can use these to control your item mini pro as well last December Blackmagic sent me a free eight a mini I warned him that I really didn't have time to make a review I didn't know whether I would use it or not and they said oh don't worry it's just a gift you don't have to do anything but I ended up using it so much that I really think it deserves a review so I've used the 8 mini quite a bit since December for different situations now as you can see the 8 and mini the 8 a mini Pro here look very similar on the outside but there are pretty significant differences on the hardware regarding the differences between the two of course the ATM mini Pro has this built-in encoder which allows you to stream directly from the device through the internet connections which the ATM minute does not have the 800 mini Pro has the disc recording and remote triggering of the recording of the different cameras if you have Blackmagic cameras on the Asian mini Pro you can select what you send in the HDMI output so it can be at the program on the multi view and in this most of you you can see status information about the recording the live stream sound the power consumption is 30 watts on the 8 a mini Pro versus 18 watt on the 8 a mini so this unit ships with a more powerful power adapter finally it's worth noting that the 8 a mini Pro has a USB 3.1 connection while the item mini has just a USB 2 connection so make sure you use the right cable with the 8 a mini Pro but it's not just one unit works better than the other it's just that the 800 many Pro packs are more features if you happen to have a black magic pocket 4k or 6k camera your agent Mini Pro will automatically detect it and you will be able to adjust the vast majority of the camera settings such as iris gain shutter white balance focus soo you can adjust you can adjust the focus remotely trigger auto focus and just like in DaVinci Resolve you can do some primary color correction such as left gamma gain so here's like an example of the lift but you can also just like the saturation the contrast the hue you can change the gain here to whatever you want and this is this is built to actually match the different cameras on set very easily if you hire camera operators it will tell them if they are currently on air or if their shot is in the preview window so that means they're about to be on air so it can tell them to watch out before moving the camera because their shot can be on air at any time in addition to this the switcher will send the current time of day as timecode in the switcher to all of the Blackmagic cameras and I was also happily surprised to see that it sends the timecode to the multi view or program output as well which will definitely help syncing all this stuff and making this video you can check out on this channel I thinking tutorial I did using DaVinci Resolve finally if you have Blackmagic cameras when you start recording on an external hard drive you have the option to also trigger and recalled in all the cameras from the moment you press recording and this is very powerful because in addition to having the master recording that means that you can have each video camera recording its own individual file if you want to make changes to your edit later HDMI video cables are usually reliable for distances up to 5 to 10 meters so bear in mind that if you converts at the HDMI signal to a longer SDI cable and then we convert that signal back to HDMI to connect it to the 8a mini Pro you will lose the camera control protocol which allows you to control the cameras with the ATM software remotely so be aware of this now I've recently heard about very long distance hdmi fiber-optic cables that were runs for distances like 100 meters or something so this can be a solution but bear in mind that these are very expensive and they are also very fragile depending on the brands you choose so all in all for me this is an incredible device I did find a few downsides as well I would like to talk about and the first one being the lack of image stabilization which means that if a camera operator starts to shake and go like this while the switcher won't compensate and give a stable image just kidding honestly for me it checks all the boxes both for small sized events and podcasts my only regrets are first the lack of headphone jack even though this can be sold by connecting your jack to the output monitor second points the picture in picture and green-screen workflow with the up stream key and downstream key can require a bit of practice especially if you want to do these things fast and like many other items which as you can't really show two images side-by-side it's either one full screen and a small one on top of it all the opposites thirds points if you don't have a Blackmagic camera there's not really any way you can adjust contrast saturation apply your loads like you would on a computer but it's also due to the fact that the technology itself it's not really processing the signal which is why you have an ultra-low latency and number four I don't know if it's really a drawback but it can get really damn hot so watch out where you leave device when it's powered on and then if black magic is watching I have a few things that I think could be very cool and like software updates the ability to dim the LEDs because they are really really bright in the dark studio our conference this can be a bit distracting also it would be very very cool if we could export an XML file of the live edit so that we can edit it later on and resolve or premier pro since we can start the pocket cameras remotely and burn time code as well maybe with these cameras it could be possible or I don't know and yes we could argue that there's only one HDMI output we cannot load video clips there are no SDI connections there is no audio delay function but honestly you can get all of these features in the more expensive black magic atom switchers such as the ATM television Studio Pro 4k in a nutshell I am just blown away by how smart this device is not only can it do many things but it does them very well the only drawbacks I found a minor so we really have an excellent execution here it can be useful in many different situations as a primary device for live streaming and as a backup device if you have more expensive switchers as a source for more expensive switchers as well as a tool for offline recording in high quality I actually used the eight of mini ones just to resize the image of a video projector that was too big for the screen using the picture-in-picture so it was just doing this task so it's only been me talking for ages so please share me your thoughts as well in the comments I'd like to know if you have similar expectations or experience with it already also I am working on a complete live streaming course if you want to go further so if you're interested feel free to subscribe I've put a link in the description that's it for today I wish you a lot of courage for the tough times we're going stay safe and see you soon [Music] [Music] you [Music]
