What else you need to use it
Worked out from Blackmagic’s own specifications and box contents for this model. The setup builder checks the same parts against your computer and the rest of your gear.
You need
- An HDMI cable for each camera or computer. Its video inputs are HDMI: 4 switchable 10-bit HD HDMI inputs with 2-channel embedded audio.
Check first
- A USB cable. Our record of the box lists no USB cable. Check the box before you plan the connection.
In the box
- A mains socket nearby. External 12 V power supply; the supply is in the box.
When this model makes sense
- Bring HDMI video and your microphones into one box, in the HD or capture mode the maker lists.
- Listen on its headphone outputs, and give a remote guest a separate mix so they don’t hear themselves.
- Record each channel you need into OBS or your recording app, then play each one back to check it went where you meant.
The Interface versus mixer guide weighs it against the other ways to fill the same role.

Check these conditions first
Not yet confirmed from Blackmagic’s documents: dimensions. The builder treats it as unknown, never as a yes.
For an interface, count the microphone inputs and headphone outputs you need. Loopback sends your computer’s sound back in so you can record or stream it; mix-minus sends a guest everything except their own voice. They solve different problems, so check for the one you need.
What is included, and what may be missing
- ATEM Mini Pro
- External 12 V DC power supply with international socket adapters
Both cable ends and the data rating matter more than the plug shape: streaming cables and ports explains how to match them.
Place it in the complete setup

The diagram shows a simple USB setup. Find where the Blackmagic ATEM Mini Pro goes, then follow each input back to what feeds it and each output on to where it goes. HDMI and XLR gear needs a capture card or audio interface between it and your computer; it doesn’t plug straight in the way this USB example does.
The setup builder turns this into a connection list for your own computer and gear, and the pre-stream checklist covers the rehearsal once it is wired.
