This leads nicely on to the next Atem mini switcher, the Pro model. If your computer can't process the data quickly enough, then this may affect the stream.

However, the downside is if you're streaming with multiple cameras, you'll need a computer that handles that amount of data. The base model is a great place to start if you're on a budget. Here is a link to a review that may provide more details on how to use the device. You'll also need to set up the Atem mini software too, which can be downloaded directly from the Blackmagic Design website.

You may be required to use software such as OBS to manage the stream if you're doing anything complex. The webcam out port lets you connect directly to your laptop or desktop, and as the name suggests, your computer will recognize it as a webcam. With the use of its HDMI inputs, you can connect up to four cameras and switch between them. Depending on your requirements, the Blackmagic Design Atem Mini may be sufficient. The base model in the series is the least expensive option and potentially offers the best value for money. Monitor Resolution: 1,366 x 768 or Greater Inputs: 4x HDMI Type A | 2x 3.5 mm Stereo Analog Audio | 1x RJ45 Ethernet
