ATEM Mini Pro ($595, available now): A new low cost live production switcher with all the features of ATEM Mini but now with extra features for recording, streaming and monitoring.
- ATEM Mini Pro includes a new hardware streaming engine to allow direct streaming via its Ethernet connection to YouTube Live, Facebook and Twitch. That means customers can live stream to YouTube, Facebook and Twitch in better quality, without dropped frames and with much simpler settings.
- There is also support for recording the stream directly to USB flash disks in H.264, plus support for recording to multiple disks for continuous recording. That means customers get very long recordings in the same H.264 video files with AAC audio that customers streamed, so customers can directly upload to any online video site, such as YouTube and Vimeo.
- ATEM Mini Pro also includes a multiview on the HDMI video output that allows all inputs to be monitored on a single monitor, as well as live status of recording, streaming and the audio mixer.
Blackmagic Camera Update 6.9 (free, available now from the Blackmagic Design website): A new software update for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models that includes powerful studio camera features.
- Now customers can connect to an ATEM Mini switcher and get control of the camera parameters, lens and tally light.
-
- The camera’s record light becomes a tally light so customers can see which camera is on air.
- The ATEM Software Control camera page has a camera control unit (CCU) style interface for adjusting and matching their cameras.
-
- Move the CCU control vertically for iris and left to right to adjust black level. It’s the same as a broadcast CCU.
- There are also controls for color tint to balance the camera as well as focus, gain and shutter speed.
- Customers can even ISO record Blackmagic RAW in the camera for editing later.
HyperDeck v7.1 (free, available now from the Blackmagic Design website): A major new software update that adds multiple new features to HyperDeck Studio Mini broadcast recorders, including:
- A new H.264 codec that supports true interlaced HD formats;

- Support for longer duration in a single file of at least three hours.
