Review

ISO is awesome for AV/DJ livestreams
Verified Purchase
For the last year, I used an ATEM Mini Pro for my AV/DJ livestream. It can only record at the same quality as my stream (Twitch) so the recordings always looked pixelated.

I considered upgrading to the Extreme ISO, but I only need a couple of cameras so the classic Pro ISO is working out great. Further, now I can finally get clean 100 Mbps recordings of my visuals that I can reuse / remix later on.

Some interesting data points:
- ISO recording bitrates will vary and can be much higher than 70 Mbps - mine were 100-120 Mbps.
- The ISO records all four cameras, even if I'm only using three.
- I use the analog input for the audio mix and that audio is recorded to all four ISO recordings (which probably makes editing much more easy to sync).
- Finally, when recording on Hyperdeck High (non-streaming) with ISO, the program recording bitrate is only half of what I expected: ~37 Mbbs (instead of 70mbps). This seems to match the Quick Export settings for DaVinci.
 
Doing livestream in COVID and want multitrack recording? This is the device.
Verified Purchase
Yes, it is expensive. But, this unit is a versatile video switcher, a livestream encoder, and an ISO multitrack video recorder. It has multi view, record to SSD, and works just like its bigger brethren in the BMG Atem lineup. Same switcher software. Only drawbacks are that it is HDMI only and for those of us with older Atem Television Studio gear, it won't do 720p. But, I can still highly recommend the ATEM Mini lineup, including this top of the line unit.

Question:Cual es la diferencia entre la pro iso y la pro iso 1000
Answer:There is no ATEM Mini Pro ISO 1000. This is an advertising mistake made by Amazon which seems to come from a listing on the Amazon UK site. As USA based sellers, we lack the permission to correct it. Also the pictures are wrong. Once again, there's nothing we can do about it. We do not control the listing or any of its contents which changes like every month.

For the record, there are 2 distinct products: ATEM Mini Pro and ATEM Mini Pro ISO.

The difference is that the ISO model can record the 4 inputs in addition to the program output. The ATEM Mini Pro can only record the output. One other feature that makes the ISO model unique, is that it creates a DaVinci Resolve project that you can open in the free Davinci Resolve editor for re-mastering (if you can swap the recorded inputs for higher resolution files) and to fine tune edits and color correction.
 
Question:¿this model is iso pro or pro only?
Answer:This is the Atem Mini Pro ISO.
