Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2

A Major Evolution of the ATEM Mini Series, Designed for Current Workflows

Designed for compact control rooms, mobile studios, and fast-paced sets, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 retains the direct ergonomics of the range (dedicated buttons, macros, Multi View monitoring) while stepping up connectivity and deliverable quality. Compared to previous generations, this version notably adds a CFexpress slot, SRT compatibility, dual USB-C webcam outputs, a dedicated 10G Ethernet port for network recording, a Thunderbolt interface for fill and key I/O, and integration of a 32-channel MADI audio input, aligning a compact format with modern broadcast requirements.

Who It's For and Use Cases: Live, Professional Streaming, Events, and Studio Production

This 1 M/E mixer targets creators and technical teams seeking reliable, fast-to-operate multicam production that is consistent from capture to post-production. Talk shows, webinars, conferences, online courses, worship services, esports, or corporate events: the 8 HDMI inputs accept heterogeneous sources thanks to format and frame rate converters, while the configurable Multi View secures operation (program, preview, sources, recording/streaming status, and audio indicators). The internal streaming engine enables going live with a streamlined production chain while maintaining an ISO recording usable in editing.

Key Features: Production Speed, Keying, Audio, and Recording

Production and Keying: "Studio" Quality Output in Seconds

Keying is central to the workflow: four upstream keyers, two downstream keyers, and up to four advanced chroma keyers facilitate green screen productions, even when switching between multiple presenters and graphics. The two DVEs enable picture-in-picture, animated transitions, and dynamic compositions, while SuperSource allows creating clean and readable multi-window layouts. Macros and dedicated controls speed up routines (launching a title, recalling a layout, changing scenes) to stay focused on the show's pace.

Integrated Fairlight Audio: Clean, Intelligible, Broadcast-Ready

The embedded Fairlight engine simplifies microphone and digital source integration: HDMI, XLR, MADI, and Thunderbolt inputs blend within a mixing environment designed for broadcast. Dynamics (compressor, gate, limiter), 6-band parametric EQ, Audio-Follow-Video management, level metering, and precise gain control ensure consistent sound even with variable speakers and multiple sources. The result: clearer live audio, less listener fatigue, and recordings better suited for post-production.

ISO Recording, CFexpress, 10G Network: Post-Production Saves Time

The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 is designed to deliver quickly without sacrificing flexibility: simultaneous recording of all 8 HDMI inputs in mp4 H.264 plus the program output, with switcher data saved as a DaVinci Resolve project file to conform and assemble a clean version in minimal time. Depending on your infrastructure, you can record to CFexpress, USB-C disk, or directly to network storage via 10G Ethernet, securing long shoots, fast-paced sets, and teams needing immediate media sharing.
