Key Features
Eight HDMI Inputs with Built-In Scaling
The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO features eight HDMI inputs that accept all popular HD signals up to 1080p60. Each input includes a built-in frame rate and format converter, allowing you to connect cameras, computers, and other HDMI sources with different resolutions and frame rates without worrying about signal compatibility. This flexibility means you can mix and match equipment from various manufacturers seamlessly.

ISO Recording of All Inputs and Program
What sets the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO apart is its ability to record nine separate H.264 video streams simultaneously in real time. This includes all eight clean feed inputs and the program video, giving you unmatched post-production flexibility. A DaVinci Resolve project file is automatically saved, allowing you to recreate and edit the entire production later. This feature is invaluable for multi-camera editors who need to adjust cuts, color grade individual angles, or repurpose content for different platforms.

SuperSource Multi-Layer Processor
The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO includes a powerful SuperSource processor that lets you display up to four input sources on screen simultaneously. You can crop, scale, and reposition each video source, and even set the background to a still graphic or a looping video from a laptop. With up to nine layers total, the SuperSource feature enables complex picture-in-picture layouts, split screens, and creative multi-box presentations that elevate your production value.

Professional Video Effects and Keyers
The switcher is equipped with four upstream keyers and two downstream keyers. Upstream keyers allow for green-screen chroma keying, basic picture-in-picture effects, and overlay of graphics or lyrics. Downstream keyers are perfect for overlaying logo bugs, lower-thirds, and other transparent graphics over your program output. With support for up to four chroma keyers and four linear/luma keyers, you have all the tools needed for professional broadcast-style productions.

Advanced Audio Mixer with Fairlight Processing
The built-in 11-input x 2-channel audio mixer includes Fairlight audio enhancements such as compressor, gate, limiter, and 6-band parametric EQ. Each channel features selectable On/Off/Audio-Follow-Video settings, separate gain control, and level and peak metering. Two 3.5mm stereo mini jack inputs with plug-in power support microphones, and a headphone output allows for real-time audio monitoring.

Dual HDMI Outputs and Multiview
Two HDMI program outputs are fully assignable via the ATEM Software Control, allowing you to designate each for program, multiview, or individual video sources. The 16-way multiview display lets you monitor all inputs, program, preview, audio levels, recording status, and streaming diagnostics on a single screen.

Direct Live Streaming and Connectivity
The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO supports direct live streaming using RTMP over Ethernet, making it easy to broadcast to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. Connectivity options include 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet, two USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 ports for external drive recording, webcam output, and software control. The USB-C ports also allow connection to a computer for use as a webcam capture device.
