Cool Video. I have been a user of the rack mounted ATEMs for many years now. Starting with the original TVS. For the last several years I have been using the ATEM 1 M/E 4k and ATEM PS 4k switchers for various productions. Only with in the last year did I purchase my first Mini Extreme ISO SDI.
Those updates look great. As soon as I find time, I will update my Mini Extreme.
It is a crying shame though that there are no new benefits for my older ATEMs. I have a feeling it is hardware holding back any new and significant updates.

The smaller ones also got a selectable output on the USB Webcam. Now rather than just program, you can send clean, MV, program, preview, ssrc, media players and keys, color gen, any input, bars or black. With the proper converter it can be another whole output

Yeah, I didn’t address that because I can’t honestly see a use for it. You’ll always need one multiview and one PGM out, so if you really want PGM over HDMI from an ATEM Mini you could use the USB for multiview, but any other use for that option is highly limited.

@@fryfilm2000 i may use it to have a program with graphics and one with a clean feed. My second hdmi is always a 21" multi view monitor

anyone can ask it why this update is not to coming HD8 series.. why they skip this important series?

How fit you get it to install on the TV studio? Ours won’t even prompt an install even though it’s running on an older FW (1.8 or something
