Blackmagic Design - ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2

ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 is an advanced, compact live production switcher that's perfect for high end broadcast studios. It features a new control panel design that's been streamlined for ease of use with improved button layout and features.

It features 8 standards converted HDMI inputs, 3 independent HDMI outputs and a built in streaming engine that lets you stream directly to a live production switcher without the need for external streaming hardware. The built in ISO recording feature lets you save all 8 video inputs separately for editing.

10G Ethernet gives you fast access to network storage. Phantom powered XLR audio inputs and 32 channels of digital MADI support give you professional audio management. CFexpress and Thunderbolt are also supported for high speed recording and playback. The multi view lets you monitor up to 16 sources at the same time. The DVE and advanced chroma key let you create professional graphic effects and overlays.

It can also be used as a USB webcam as a video source for streaming software. The main difference compared to the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO is the addition of 10G Ethernet for faster access to network storage. As mentioned, the G2 model also supports CFexpress and Thunderbolt, plus there are now three HDMI outputs, up from two on the previous model. For audio, the G2 features phantom powered XLR inputs and 32 channels of digital MADI support.
