New ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 Revealed at NAB 2025

This one sits between the smaller ATEM Minis and the big production switchers like the 1 M/E and Constellation. It has the button style of those larger panels, plus built-in knobs and a fader for tactile control.

The audio upgrade is the headline

The 3.5mm headphone-style connectors are gone, replaced by two combo XLR / quarter-inch inputs on the back. That's huge. It ends the constant XLR-to-3.5mm converting at events. There's also an SDI input for MADI that adds 32 channels of audio, so you can hook up the Blackmagic Mic Converter through the MADI port.

The rest of the I/O

• 8 HDMI inputs
• Three HDMI outputs instead of two
• A 16-way multiview with far more configurability: program and preview, audio, plus record and stream status. Blackmagic was running it across four screens at the booth.
• USB in and out, so you can send graphics overlays directly from ProPresenter, Wirecast or OBS into the switcher instead of burning an UltraStudio and a key/fill input
• Thunderbolt 3 for DaVinci Resolve I/O, which means live action replay without an UltraStudio or a media player, freeing up those two ports

Macro buttons run across the top so you can fire macros from the panel instead of walking to a computer, and it records and streams directly from the unit as before. Channel controls, select and solo, are in line with each input. Release timing at the show was July. It's HDMI, and I'm still waiting on an SDI version.
