Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2
The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 from Blackmagic Design is a next-generation live production switcher built for professionals seeking high performance in a compact form. With a significantly expanded control panel, it supports 8 HDMI inputs and 3 independently routable HDMI outputs—perfect for multicamera setups, live streaming, and advanced video content creation. Whether you’re broadcasting on YouTube or presenting via Zoom or Teams, it delivers exceptional video quality with sophisticated switching and professional-grade transitions.
A standout feature of the Atem mini Extreme ISO G2 is its ability to record all 8 video inputs simultaneously as isolated (ISO) files, enabling efficient Multicam editing and replays in post-production. With built-in streaming, you can go live without the need for external encoders. Support for Thunderbolt and CFexpress offers real-time capture, playback, and rapid file access—locally or over a 10G Ethernet connection. You can even configure it as a shared network disk, allowing for remote collaboration via Blackmagic Cloud.
Professional audio capabilities include balanced XLR and MADI inputs, a Fairlight audio status display, and front-panel headphone monitoring. Deep integration with DaVinci Resolve empowers live replay workflows—Thunderbolt connectivity allows direct access to ISO files for instant replays, Multicam editing, slow-motion effects via optical flow, and seamless publishing to social platforms. These capabilities far exceed those of traditional replay systems.
The front panel provides a tactile production experience, complete with premium buttons, a manual transition fader, an audio mixer section, and real-time HDMI audio meters. A built-in media pool supports 200-frame animations, chroma keying, DVE transitions, and other effects. Need more audio inputs? The ATEM Microphone Converter connects via MADI, delivering four additional mic/line analog inputs with outstanding fidelity.
Designed for seamless integration into professional environments, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 supports popular editing and graphics tools like DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Media Composer, Fusion, After Effects, and Photoshop. It also enables full broadcast-style camera control with optional accessories like the ATEM Micro Camera Panel for precise color matching and CCU operations.
