Video¶

The ATEM Mini is used for handling all video signals.

Input sources¶

There are 4 external and 2 internal input sources:

External
- Camera 1
- Camera 2
- Camera 3

- Media player (aka STILL)
- Black

Preview & program¶

The ATEM Mini differs between the preview and program (live) output. Here are the important bits:

Preview (aka PVW) output is always green
Program (aka PGM) is output is always red
Pressing an input source button will switch the preview to the selected source

HDMI out¶

On HDMI out, respectively the connected monitor, the output can be changed via buttons on the ATEM Mini to:

External inputs (Camera 1-3 & Screen)
Multiview (aka M/V)
Program output (aka PGM)

Transitions¶

Preview (PVW) and program (PGM) can be switched by using one of the following buttons on the ATEM Mini:

CUT: Instant cut / switch
AUTO: Visual transition

Transitions can be changed via buttons on the ATEM Mini as well:

There are 6 preconfigured transitions types
Each transition type can have its own rate (i.e. 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 seconds)

Keyers¶

PIP¶

To display picture in picture or overlays (lower thirds), use the Stream Deck:

Select which PIP source you want (Camera 1-3, screen or media)
Activate PIP Transition to toggle PIP with the next transition
Press PIP On Air to instantly toggle PIP on program

Overlay¶

To display an overlay (e.g. speaker name) on the program, press Key {Media} on the Stream Deck:

Note

The overlay can’t be displayed in preview and is only available on program, so you might want to test that in advance.

Important

If you manually tinkered with the downstream or upstream keyer and you no longer get the expected output, press the Reset keyers button on the Stream Deck.

Media selection¶

There’s only one Media player available on the ATEM Mini, which means you can only display / use one Media at a time. To select a new Media, press the Select media button on the Stream Deck.

Note

This media is used for the STILL and also the Overlay downstream keyer.
