Alongside the ATEM Mini Extreme hardware is the ATEM Software Control; this is where you can further adjust the setting and load overlay graphics and sting. The Ethernet connection also allows customized control solutions! Even though ATEM Mini includes ATEM Software Control, you can use the Ethernet to control the ATEM remotely, anywhere in the world. A popular workflow is to use the Ethernet to allow the ATEM Mini to be positioned near the HDMI cameras, but the control is positioned remotely in a quieter space, such as a control room. Imagine using the switcher from a control room and building a professional broadcasting studio where the control room can be separated away from the performance or interviews. Ethernet allows you to add as many panels as you like all at the same time, or you can build custom solutions using the developer SDK! The ATEM Mini Extreme supports direct live streaming via Ethernet using Real Time Messaging Protocol (RTMP) or via USB-C over an approved mobile internet connection One of the features that stands out with the ATEM is the video transitions. These feature swipes and fades that can be applied to the live stream video switch. Adjusting type, time and effect can all be done through the physical buttons, making it very easy to understand. I found that even when using the ATEM Mini Extreme in this way, having the multiview output monitor was essential, just so you know what’s live and what’s not. Switching to the network

Ethernet: Ethernet supports 10/100/1000BaseT for live streaming, software control, software updates and to connect a control panel directly or via a network connection There's never been a switcher that’s easier to use, as you simply press any of the input buttons labelled by number on the front panel to cut between video sources. You can choose between cut or effects transitions by selecting the cut or auto buttons. Imagine a simple three-camera setup – presenter on camera one, wide studio shot on camera 2 and guest on camera 3. You’re shooting live so you can’t edit after filming so instead, you have a box with buttons showing Cam 1, Cam 2 and Cam 3. You then tap the button for the camera that you want the viewers to see and the video feed switches. Essentially editing on the fly.
