ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2: Blackmagic’s Most Powerful Compact Switcher Yet

ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2: The Most Capable ATEM Mini Yet

Blackmagic Design has officially announced the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2, the second-generation model in the ATEM Mini lineup. This new switcher brings major upgrades in connectivity, recording, and control—while keeping the compact form that’s made the ATEM Mini a go-to for creators, streamers, and broadcasters.

BUY ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 

Whether you're building a home studio, running a live stream, or managing multi-camera production, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 is designed to handle complex workflows with calm precision.

What Sets the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 Apart?

Here’s what makes this model stand out:

1. 8 Inputs, ISO Recording, Full Control

You get 8 HDMI inputs, each with format conversion, so you can mix cameras, computers, or consoles with ease. But more importantly, it records each input as an individual ISO file, along with a synced program file. That means you can re-edit the entire show later, shot-for-shot. This is ideal for post-production, training videos, or broadcast work.

2. Thunderbolt, CFexpress, and 10G Ethernet

The G2 model is built for serious production. The Thunderbolt port allows capture, playback, and even power—all over one cable. The CFexpress slot delivers high-speed recording, and 10G Ethernet gives you fast access to media over the network. You can record to the internal CFexpress card and have editors access the files immediately from other machines.

3. Professional Audio Built-In

With dual XLR inputs, MADI support, and a built-in Fairlight audio mixer display, audio routing and monitoring are on par with larger broadcast setups. If you need more inputs, just add an ATEM Microphone Converter over MADI. No setup headaches, just more inputs when you need them.

4. Integrated Streaming and Replay Tools

Stream directly over Ethernet or USB, without needing extra encoders or converters. But where the G2 really shines is with DaVinci Resolve. You can run live replays, apply color correction, and even edit while you stream. No other compact switcher offers this kind of flexibility in both live and post-production environments.

5. Same ATEM Workflow, More Power

The front panel keeps the familiar ATEM layout—tactile buttons, fader, audio control—but with expanded I/O and internal power. You still get multiview, DVE, chroma key, and macro features. And it works with ATEM Software Control on Mac and Windows, so there's no need to learn a new system.

Who It's For

The ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 fits right into workflows where space is limited but capability matters. It’s ideal for:

• Podcasters upgrading to multicam

• Live streamers who need ISO recordings

• Creators building portable studios

• Event production teams

• Editors who want clean post-ready files immediately after a shoot

This isn't just a switcher—it's a full control panel, streaming system, audio hub, and post-production gateway rolled into one.

Final Thoughts

Blackmagic hasn’t just refreshed the ATEM Mini—they’ve turned it into a serious tool for end-to-end production. With ISO recording, Thunderbolt, 10G Ethernet, and DaVinci Resolve integration, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 offers more than convenience. It offers control.
