Thefirst step is to plug in the power supply using the supplied power adapter. However most 12V power supplies will work fine, or even a 12V DC battery source will work fine. If you have a locking DC connector, then make sure to tighten it firmly.

If you have an ATEM Mini Pro or Extreme, these models have a multiview so you can see it if you connect a monitor to the HDMI out. Make sure you press the M/V button on the video output selection. Now you can see all your sources as you plug in cameras!


Next, plug your HDMI cameras and computers into ATEM Mini's HDMI inputs. This gives you 4 or 8 different video sources depending on your model, to switch between when creating your program. All the HDMI inputs are standards converted so don't worry about video settings!


If you're streaming, then all models use USB as a webcam. First connect the USB to a computer. Your computer will recognize ATEM Mini as a webcam and you can then select it as the webcam source in your streaming software, such as Skype.


Skype is a good app for testing, so let's configure it for ATEM Mini. In Skype audio and video settings select Blackmagic Design as the video and audio sources. You will see the ATEM Mini video in the preview window and you can make calls!


If you need to narrate or add commentary to your production, plug a microphone into one of the 3.5mm mic inputs. Or use two microphones for broadcasting interviews so you can individually control how loud or quiet they are. Above each video input button is the smaller audio control buttons where you can turn on and off each audio source. There are many types of microphones available, such as tiny, wireless collar microphones so the presenter can move freely without cables or larger desktop ones for presenters. Using dedicated microphones as well as using the audio page in the ATEM Software Control to add EQ and some compression can dramatically improve the clarity of presenters.


If you really want to access all the power of your ATEM Mini, then you can run ATEM Software Control and get access to many more features than are available on the front panel. There are pages that let you run the switcher and pallets that have settings for every feature in the switcher. There are also pages in the software for changing settings, uploading and managing graphics, mixing audio and controlling cameras. Just connect the USB to a Mac or PC and run the software, as it uses the same USB connection that the ATEM Mini's webcam output uses. You can also use ATEM Software Control via ethernet if you have more than one operator working on the same job at the same time.


You can use any graphics software to create titles for ATEM Mini. If the graphic has an alpha channel, ATEM Mini will output the alpha as a key channel to allow graphics layering. Graphics with alpha channels can be created in software such as Photoshop. To use a still graphic, simply drag and drop it into one of the positions in the media pool in ATEM Software Control. Now go to the keyer settings in the switcher page, where you will need to set the media player source to be the still you just loaded. Then in the keyer settings, select the video and key sources to be the media player. Now turn on the keyer and you'll get professional titles overlaid in real time on your live video.


You can create professional mastered audio using the Fairlight audio mixer in ATEM Mini and controlled through ATEM Software Control. By clicking and dragging the mixer faders you can adjust the sound levels for each camera so they are louder or quieter, or adjust the microphone levels so voices are clearer and stand out. If a music player is plugged into the second mic input, you can even fade music in and out of your broadcast because each mic input has its own audio mixer inputs and effects! If you want to go even further, you can add Fairlight EQ, audio compression and limiting to tailor the sound of presenters to get them sounding clear and to keep the audio levels under control.


The HDMI output of ATEM Mini can be changed, on professional switchers this is called an aux output. You can also loop a computer slide show and a projector through ATEM Mini, allowing access to the slide show as one of your sources. You can select preview out and set the switcher to program/preview switching to allow you to preview shots before going on air. On the ATEM Mini Pro models, you can even select a multiview out for full multi camera monitoring. Being able to see shots before using them on air means you eliminate mistakes. If you are broadcasting gameplay, input 1 can be set to zero latency allowing ATEM Mini to be looped between the console and the gamer's monitor.


You can record using the HDMI output and recorders such as the Blackmagic Video Assist, allowing you to upload your television shows later, or to archive your production history. There are also loads of software tools for recording webcam video so you can use this software to record from the USB on a computer. However on ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme models, you get recording features built into the switcher itself! All you need to do is connect a USB flash disk and then press record on the front panel! ATEM Mini Pro and Extreme also support recording to more than one USB disk, such as a Blackmagic MultiDock, so you can keep recording to a second disk when the first disk becomes full.


If you have Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras then you can control them as studio cameras from ATEM Mini! Video and control is via the HDMI connection, so first plug the cameras in. Now you can go to the ATEM Software Control Camera page to get a CCU style interface where you can adjust and match your cameras. Move the main CCU control up and down to control the iris and left to right adjusts the black level. It's the same as a broadcast CCU! There are also controls for color tint to balance the cameras. Plus you can set the focus, gain and shutter speed of the camera. To access DaVinci color correction, select the DaVinci icon to open up full color wheel primary corrector controls.


You can also use ATEM Software Control to build macros. Macros are useful for recording a sequence of switcher actions so you can repeat them with a single click of a mouse. For example you could record a combination of switcher actions that transition between several camera sources, switch a graphic to air, and adjust audio levels all in one single macro that can then be played at any time. Macros can be as simple or complex as you want and are extremely powerful when used in a live production. Your actions are automatically stored as an XML file that can be edited and combined together. To use a macro, just click run on the Macro palette in the software switcher settings!
