- ATEM Advanced Chroma Keyer for working with green and blue screens

Via the latest Camera Update 6.9, both models also support remote control of Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras (4K and 6K) via HDMI.
This allows the cameras to be used remotely as studio cameras.

Blackmagic Design's ATEM Mini Pro is fixed setup and easy to use. Its features include four scalable HDMI inputs, a USB webcam output, an HDMI output, and a Fairlight audio mixer with EQ and dynamics tools, a DVE processor for picture-in-picture displays, transition effects, a green screen chromakeyer, and a 20-frame media pool for titles.
