The Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 is an 8-input live production switcher with CFexpress and Thunderbolt recording, built for productions that need broadcast-grade ISO recording and a direct, high-speed connection to an edit workstation.
Recording to USB disk works, but it's not fast enough for teams that want to start editing the moment the show ends. The Extreme ISO G2 records all 8 HDMI ISO inputs plus program to CFexpress card, accessible over 10G Ethernet for network-based access to recordings, while a built-in Thunderbolt connection gives a single computer live fill-and-key capture, playback and trickle power — ideal for DaVinci Resolve-based replay and effects workflows.
