Blackmagic Design has announced the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2, a seriously powerful second-generation update to their popular live production switcher line.

Here at Koala Audio, where we equip Australian creators with the best tech, we're incredibly excited about this one. The G2 model takes the compact ATEM Mini concept and injects it with high-end broadcast features, making professional multi-camera production more accessible than ever.

Mark your calendars – the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 is slated for release in July, with an estimated AU price of $3275.

What's New? Pro Features Galore!

This isn't just a minor refresh. The G2 packs some game-changing upgrades:

• Thunderbolt for Capture, Playback & Live Replay! This is massive. Connect a computer via Thunderbolt and unlock incredible potential. Capture video, playback graphics with fill and key, access the internal storage, and even use DaVinci Resolve for a full live-action replay system! Imagine capturing a point of interest, instantly accessing all 8 ISO camera angles in Resolve, sequencing a multi-cam replay (with speed changes!), and getting it back into your live production or uploaded online faster than ever.
• 10G Ethernet for Network Storage & Collaboration: Turn your ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 into a high-speed network drive! Record your ISO files to the internal CFexpress card (or connected USB disk) and access them directly over your network via the blazing-fast 10G Ethernet port. Multiple users on separate computers can simultaneously access the media for editing, grading, VFX, or audio post, streamlining collaborative workflows. You can even sync recordings with Blackmagic Cloud for global collaboration.
• Record ALL 8 Inputs with ISO Recording: Like its predecessor, it records isolated feeds (ISOs) of all inputs plus the program output. But now it handles all 8 HDMI inputs! Crucially, it still automatically generates a DaVinci Resolve project file, perfectly syncing all your camera angles on the timeline for incredibly fast post-production editing. Just open the project, and your live cut is ready for refinement or switching angles.
• Professional Control Panel & Expanded I/O: The G2 features an expanded front panel with broadcast-style buttons (the same high-end type found on ATEM Advanced Panels) for tactile source selection and effects triggering, plus a manual transition fader. You also get 3 independent HDMI outputs, 2 balanced XLR audio inputs, a MADI input for massive audio expansion (using the optional ATEM Microphone Converter), and a headphone jack for monitoring.

All the ATEM Goodness You Expect:

Alongside these major upgrades, the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 retains the core features that made the line so popular:

• 8 Standards-Converted HDMI Inputs: Connect a wide range of cameras and sources.
• Built-in Streaming Engine: Stream directly to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc., via Ethernet or tethered phone.
• USB Webcam Output: Use it as a high-quality webcam for Zoom, Teams, OBS, and more.
• Powerful Effects: Up to 6 independent DVEs for picture-in-picture, 4 upstream chroma keyers for green screens, transitions, and a media player (now with 200 frames of animation).
• Multi-view Output: Monitor all inputs, program, preview, recording, streaming, and audio status on a single HDMI monitor.

Who Is the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 For?

This switcher is perfect for Australian creators who are pushing the boundaries of live production and need more power and flexibility:

• Serious Live Streamers & YouTubers: Needing more inputs, professional audio options, and advanced replay capabilities.
• Corporate & Educational Users: Creating sophisticated presentations, webinars, and training sessions with multiple cameras and sources.
• Houses of Worship: Requiring reliable multi-camera switching, easy streaming, and the flexibility of ISO recording for post-production.
• Podcasters Expanding into Video: Offering professional audio inputs and easy multi-camera integration.
• Smaller Broadcast Setups or OB Vans: Where space is limited, but professional features and workflows (like replay and network access) are essential.
