TIP  After your streaming details are entered into the ‘output’ palette in ATEM Software

Control, your streaming setup is now stored in your ATEM Mini Pro so you can start
streaming again immediately, even after a power cycle. This makes it easy to stream a
new broadcast without having to reset your streaming software every time.
On ATEM Mini Pro, it is actually easier and faster to stream via Ethernet. This lets you
stream immediately via any internet connection on a computer or internet router,
while simultaneously giving you the additional benefits of ATEM Software Control over
the same connection.
For information on setting up streaming and control via Ethernet, refer to
‘direct streaming and switcher control via Ethernet’ later in this section.

Recording using the Record Buttons


ATEM Mini Pro lets you record your stream via its USB-C output using an external disk or flash
drive. For example, you can connect a Blackmagic MultiDock 10G and record directly to an SSD.
When the disk indicator above ATEM Mini Pro’s record button illuminates green, press the
record button and you are now recording your broadcast to disk. To stop recording, press the
‘stop’ button.
ATEM Software Control records your stream using H.264 compression with an optimized
compression ratio to provide high quality video without large file sizes.

Press the record button, marked ‘rec’, to record your


broadcast to an external drive or flash disk via USB-C

Disk Status Indicator


The disk status LED indicator lets you know the status of the recording media. For example,
the indicator illuminates green if the current drive is formatted and ready to record and red
while recording.

Indicators include:
Green Formatted disk is detected and ready to record.

Red Disk is recording.

Slowly flashing red Low disk space.

Rapidly flashing red Bad disk performance causing disk to skip frames.

NOTE  To record to an external drive, you first need to format the disk.
Refer to the ‘preparing media for recording’ section for more information.
