Designed for live streaming or webcam production, the Mini Extreme has HDMI outputs to feed monitors and supports up to 16-screen multiview. The ATEM Mini Extreme supports up to nine layers, with four upstream and two downstream keyers, up to four chroma keyers, up to four linear keyers, two DVE with borders and drop shadow, five pattern generators, and two color generators. CCU functions are available for controlling Blackmagic Studio and URSA Mini/Broadcast/Micro Studio cameras from the switcher. Switch, add effects, color grade, and key in real time using the control surface’s buttons, or via the software control panel. Each input has discrete frame rate and format converters, and it supports re-syncing for seamless switching between a variety of pro and consumer cameras, game consoles, and computer feeds.

This versatile switcher’s eight independent HDMI inputs accept all popular HD signals up to 1080p60. If it were not for this question on the Forum, I would still be looking. As a newbie, I am deeply disappointed in the unhelpfulness of the Blackmagic Design Support Center. In addition to live streaming using RTMP protocols, you can also output your program as if it was a webcam over USB. If you keep telling users about the wonderful ATEM Software Control, at least use the same name in the Support Center. It features an integrated control panel and has advanced broadcast features. EA, The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme is an 8-input live production switcher for live streaming.
