The Blackmagic Design ATEM Mini Extreme ISO is a professional 8-channel HDMI live production switcher built for demanding live streaming workflows. Supporting inputs up to 1080p60 with per-input frame rate and format conversion, it streams via RTMP to YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, Zoom, and more — or outputs directly as a USB webcam — making it the ultimate all-in-one broadcast hub.
What sets the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO apart is its ISO recording capability: every one of the eight HDMI inputs plus the program output can be recorded simultaneously as MP4 files, and the switcher automatically generates a DaVinci Resolve project file so you can re-edit your show after the event. Add to that 4 upstream and 2 downstream keyers, up to 16-screen multiview monitoring, an 11-input audio mixer, and full CCU camera control for Blackmagic cameras, and you have a production suite that fits on a desk.

Frequently asked questions
Can the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO record all cameras at the same time?
Yes. The ISO model records each of the 8 HDMI inputs individually as separate MP4 files along with the program output simultaneously via USB-C. It also automatically creates a DaVinci Resolve project file so you can re-edit the entire show in post-production.
What streaming platforms does the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO support?
It streams to any platform that supports RTMP protocols, including YouTube, Facebook Live, Twitch, Skype, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, via its Ethernet port. It can also output as a USB webcam to virtually any video software on a connected computer.
What happens if my wired internet connection drops during a live stream?
The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO supports 4G and 5G connectivity by connecting an Apple or Android phone to the USB port. If the main Ethernet connection is interrupted, the switcher automatically switches to the phone's mobile data connection, and the USB port also powers the phone to prevent battery drain.
