The ATEM Mini can receive network commands via IP (it has an ethernet port) or USB. While I’m glad for atemOSC, it is a little surprising / disappointing that something like the ATEM Mini doesn’t natively support OSC. One of the main reasons I chose the ATEM Mini was because of a small open source application called atemOSC by Daniel Buechele, the existence of which is proof that providing a quality SDK for your hardware is a very good thing for a manufacturer to provide.ĪtemOSC serves as a bridge between an OSC enabled application - like QLab - and the ATEM Mini hardware. The budget meant only having two camera inputs to QLab ( via two Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorders), so a switcher of some sort was required to switch between the other cameras. The video design for Gulliver’s Travels was centred around the use of live cameras - three wireless cameras (more on these soon) and two wired cameras. Unfortunately, the production has been put on ice due to Covid19 before opening, but I’m confident it will open before the year is out. It turned out to be a perfect match for a stage adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels at London’s Unicorn Theatre. While I don’t personally have an audience, investors or fans, I did see an opportunity for the ATEM Mini as a useful piece of kit for small to mid-range theatre productions. *Thankfully their equipment makes up for them being completely boring, crap and dismissive at their stand at SXSW 2018 :( Meanwhile, the now defunct Digital Bolex crew were fun, helpful and sound. Between it and the desktop ATEM application, it is essentially a fully featured vision mixer with upstream and downstream keying, fade-to-black, transitions, audio-follow-video and mixing. It has a HDMI main output but can also appear as a standard HD webcam to a desktop OS making it perfect for streaming productions. The ATEM Mini is a live production switcher with 4 HDMI inputs. Gone is the idea of the prosumer, replaced with a new type of professional - operating out of their home studio or office, producing excellent content and streaming it on the web to their audience, investors and fans. Looking at the marketing material they’ve put together for this thing makes it clear how Blackmagic have done their homework in terms of how they’re pitching themselves and their products. ![]() This is a □ post about equipment in theatre.īeing a fan of Blackmagic Design equipment*, I had very high expectations for their new ATEM Mini switcher. ![]()
