Congratulations to Blackmagic Design! The Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro is Videomaker’s top pick for the best live streaming solution of NAB Week 2020.
The ATEM Mini Pro retains all of the features originally found on the ATEM Mini. However, the solution now allows for direct streaming via its Ethernet connection. it sports a few new extra features for recording, streaming and monitoring as well. As stated above, the device has a hardware streaming engine that allows direct streaming via its Ethernet connection. You can stream to YouTube Live, Facebook and Twitch. For these reasons, the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro is the best live streaming solution of NAB Week 2020.
Storing
There’s now support for recording to USB flash disks in H.264 and multiple disks. This should help streamers to continuously record their streams without running out of storage options. Also, the new model features a multiview on the HDMI video output. That allows all inputs to be monitored on a single monitor, along with the live status of recording, streaming and the audio mixer.

4 HDMI inputs now with own dedicated standards converter
Each of the ATEM Mini Pro’s four HDMI inputs features its own dedicated standards converter. This means that the device will automatically convert 1080p, 1080i and 720p sources to the video standard of the switcher.
The HDMI out is a true “aux.” This basically means customers can switch a clean HDMI input or program to this output. For program/preview switching, the HDMI out can be selected to preview and on the Pro, it can be selected to display a full multiview.
