Highly recommended for streamers, educators, churches, small businesses, and independent creators looking for pro-level results without a huge investment.

Produces a mix of two audio feeds and four AV HDMI feeds with an option of overlaying camera 1 as a corner insert on the final output. Streaming works well (ethernet to modem or USB-C to a PC) and it can be controlled either directly (buttons) or via the ATEM software on the PC (buttons, still images, streaming address input, gain). It ideally requires a separate HDMI monitor to track camera & PC inputs so you can flawlessly change between desired feeds rather than from memory of where the cameras are pointing ($40 7" Raspberry Pi monitor works). Video & sound are clearly sent. There is an option for green screen but I have had no opportunity to try it.

Great item I’m working it into my production flow. Definitely takes the burden of running switcher programs via software on my computer making it slow down away. Looking forward to see what I can do with this hardware.

We use one MacBook Pro HDMI out on Channel 1, one iPad 12.9 (Ch 2), one iPhone 11 Pro Max (Ch 3), Sony HandyCam 5 MP (CH 4). Running Filmic Pro to get clean HDMI out from the Apple devices. Love: USB-C output for easy streaming to Google Meet and Zoom, switchable HDMI output (MultiView, Cam 1-4, or Program). Very easy to use PIP so I can do headshots next to slides. Photoshop for lower thirds and bugs, Keynote for titles animations and transitions. Also love the ATEM Setup and Control software. XML files make it easy to fix saved macros. This is the baby brother of the broadcast consoles used in modern TV and webcasting studios. Strong value for the money.

Fantastic 4 input ATEM switcher! This one has a multi-view output which is typically only on higher end switchers. My favorite thing is the free software this device has from the Blackmagic Design Website! This allows you to control all aspects of the switcher plus changing up PIP, upstream/downstream keys, adopted mixing (now including a frame delay), and much more! Is highly recommend this to any church that is looking to livestream their services. Add whatever cameras you’ve got with a HDMI clean out, soundboard or mic from camera, create PIP of slides or use other software to make lower thirds, and train a volunteer to lead this ministry. Wish this product was out a few years ago so we could have been better prepared for COVID-19 and having to move solely to online services!
