You get a built-in DVE for picture-in-picture effects, broadcast quality transitions, upstream keyers for removing blue and green screen background, a downstream keyer for superimposing custom graphics, audio inputs a mixer, and more.

ATEM Streaming Bridge is the painless way use ATEM Mini Pro as a remote broadcast studio. The ATEM Streaming Bridge can receive a H.264 stream (locally or globally) from any ATEM Mini Pro and convert it SDI and HDMI video. This means you can send video to remote locations around your local Ethernet network, or via the Internet. That's possible because it uses advanced H.264 codecs for higher quality at very low data rates. This allows remote journalists, reporters, bloggers, experts, witnesses and satellite offices to contribute to programming that’s going out live.
Setup is easy, as the ATEM software utility can create setup files that you can email to remote ATEM Mini Pro studios. With use of a streamkey, the stream is kept private and secure.
