To withdraw

The Blackmagic ATEM SDI Extreme ISO supports direct recording of your live broadcast to USB flash drives using the same H.264 video codec with AAC audio that you stream with. With the Blackmagic ATEM SDI Extreme ISO you can also record the eight video inputs separately (ISO) as MP4 files. This allows you to upload the video material directly to any online video site, such as YouTube or Vimeo. Multi-disk recording is also supported via a USB hub or the Blackmagic MultiDock, so when one disk fills up, recording can continue to a second disk for non-stop recording. Recording settings and disc selection are set in ATEM Software Control and there is a recording status display in the built-in multiview. You can even trigger recordings on connected Blackmagic Pocket Cinema cameras.

DaVinci Resolve Integration

The Mini Extreme ISO stores a DaVinci Resolve project file so you can open your live production in Davinci Resolve with a single click. All images from cuts, dissolves and media pools are loaded so that you can edit your live production using the recorded camera footage. If you've shot in Blackmagic Raw on the Blackmagic cameras themselves, you can link these files and take advantage of DaVinci Resolve's color grading capabilities.

Video effects

Or use fun DVE effects when switching between sources.
