Conference stage
Wide, centre and roving cameras, the presenter's laptop, the house slide feed and a lectern camera — six inputs before anyone has asked for a second angle on the audience.

ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2
Eight cameras cut live, streamed straight from the box, and every source recorded as its own file. The Blackmagic switcher that runs conference stages and hybrid town halls — hired in Bengaluru with a Gloworks operator running it.

Why this one
Eight inputs is the difference between covering an event and compromising on it
Most small switchers stop at four. That is enough for a podcast and tight for anything on a stage — you end up unplugging a camera to show a slide. Here is what the extra inputs are actually spent on.
Hybrid town hall
Room cameras plus a laptop carrying the remote callers, so people dialling in appear on the venue screens and in the stream as sources you can cut to.
Panel and awards
A camera per seat, a wide, a stage camera for the walk-up, and a graphics feed for names and categories — cut without ever missing a reaction.
Sport and community events
Multiple pitch angles, a replay feed off the Thunderbolt port, and a scorebug overlay driven from our scoreboard tool on the same output.
And because it is the ISO model, all eight are recorded separately while the cut goes out — so one event also becomes the highlights film and the month of clips afterwards.
How it goes out
The switcher comes with the person who runs it
This is a crewed rental. Every booking includes a Gloworks operator for the whole event — rigging it, cutting it, riding the audio and confirming the recordings before the room clears. We do not hire the unit out on its own.
Eight inputs is a full-time job
Watching sixteen multiview panes, calling the next shot, riding the audio and keeping the keyers clean is not something you do between other tasks. On a live show there is no second take.
The stream is the deliverable
Bitrate, the venue's network, the encoder settings, the platform's ingest — the failure modes are all upstream of the switcher, and someone has to have tested the whole chain before doors rather than at go-live.
The recordings have to actually exist
ISO files are worthless if a card filled up in the second hour or a record never armed. Our operator confirms the media before the room clears, not the next morning.
Tech specs
What the switcher does
Need a format, a protocol or a specific camera body confirmed? Ask before you book — we will test it on the actual unit rather than guess from a datasheet.

Switching & effects
Nine layers of composition, all of it live. This is the part that separates the Extreme from a four-input switcher: a lower third, a logo bug, a picture-in-picture and a keyed presenter can all be on screen at the same time.
- Layers
- Up to 9 simultaneous layers on the program output
- Keyers
- 4 upstream and 2 downstream keyers
- Chroma key
- Up to 4 chroma keyers — real-time green screen, no post
- Linear key
- Up to 4 linear keyers for graphics with proper alpha
- Picture-in-picture
- DVEs with borders and drop shadow — presenter over slides, multi-box panels
- Generators
- 5 pattern generators and 2 colour generators
- Transitions
- Cut, mix, dip, wipe and DVE, on the auto button or the hardware fader
- Media player
- Stills and clips held on the unit — stings, logos, lower thirds, holding slides
Audio
- Mixer
- 26 × 2 channel — 8 HDMI embedded, MADI, the XLRs and Thunderbolt
- XLR inputs
- 2 × XLR combo with 48V phantom power
- MADI input
- Takes a multi-channel digital feed straight from a venue's audio console instead of a stereo mix
- Per-channel processing
- Compressor, gate, limiter and 6-band parametric EQ
- Channel modes
- On, off or audio-follow-video per channel, with separate gain
- Why it matters
- A stream is forgiven a soft camera and never forgiven bad sound — this takes the house desk's feed properly rather than a camera's on-board mic
Recording
The reason to specify the ISO model. A live cut is one video; ISO gives you every camera as its own file, so the same event can be re-edited afterwards into something that isn't just the stream.
- ISO recording
- All 8 inputs recorded separately, plus the program cut
- Format
- H.264 .mp4 up to 70 Mb/s with AAC audio — uploadable as-is
- Media
- CFexpress Type B in the unit, or external drives on the 2 × USB-C 3.1 ports
- DaVinci Resolve project
- Written alongside the files, so the whole show reopens as an edit timeline with every cut already in place
- Network recording
- 10G Ethernet for recording straight to fast network storage
- Run length
- Limited by the media, not the switcher — we size the cards to your run time
Streaming
- Streaming engine
- Built into the hardware — it streams over Ethernet with no computer in the chain
- Protocols
- RTMP and SRT
- Platforms
- YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitch, Instagram, or any platform that gives you an RTMP or SRT endpoint
- Connection
- The venue's wired network, or a shared connection over USB-C from a laptop or phone as a fallback
- Zoom, Teams and Meet
- Over the USB webcam out — the switcher joins the call as the camera and microphone
- Stream and record together
- ISO recording continues while streaming, so the archive is not just the stream
Control & panel
- Control surface
- Integrated panel — lit source-select buttons, a hardware T-bar fader and rotary controls
- Tally
- Red for program and green for preview, on the panel and multiview
- Macros
- A rehearsed sequence of moves fired from a single button
- Software control
- ATEM Software Control from a laptop over Ethernet or USB-C, alongside the panel
- Thunderbolt
- Capture and playback with fill and key — graphics software or DaVinci Resolve for live replay
- Networking
- 1G Ethernet for streaming and control, 10G for recording
- Power
- Mains via the supplied PSU. Included in the kit

- 03
We quote it fixed
Switcher, operator, and any cameras, lighting or audio you need with it. One price, no day-of surprises.
- 04
We rig, run and hand over

Rentals are subject to our Rental Terms and Conditions.
Questions
Can I rent the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 without an operator?
No. It goes out as a crewed rental with a Gloworks operator running it for the whole booking. Eight inputs, a keyer stack and a live stream is a full-time job during a show, and a missed cut or a recording that never armed cannot be fixed afterwards.
How many cameras can you actually run on it?
Eight HDMI sources at once, and in practice that is four to six cameras plus a laptop for slides and a spare input for playback or a remote feed. Tell us the room and we will map the inputs before the day rather than on it.
Do we get every camera recorded separately, or just the live cut?
Both. The ISO model records all eight inputs as their own H.264 files alongside the program cut, and writes a DaVinci Resolve project so the whole show reopens as an edit timeline. That is how one event becomes a highlights film and a month of social clips instead of a single long stream.
Can you stream to YouTube and run a Zoom or Teams call at the same time?
Yes. The built-in engine streams over Ethernet by RTMP or SRT with no computer in the chain, while a separate output feeds a laptop as a webcam for the call. The venue screens run off a third output.
What internet does the venue need?
A wired line to the switcher is what we ask for — venue Wi-Fi is shared with every guest in the room and is the most common reason a stream stutters. We test the actual connection during setup and set the bitrate to what it will really hold, and can fall back to a mobile connection over USB-C.
How much does it cost to hire in Bangalore?
It is quoted per event, because camera count, crew, hours and the venue matter far more than the box. Send us the date, the venue and roughly how many cameras and speakers, and we will come back with a fixed price.
Which parts of Bengaluru do you cover?
All of it — we are based in HSR Layout and regularly work Koramangala, Indiranagar, Whitefield, Electronic City, the central hotels and the tech parks on Sarjapur and Bannerghatta Road. Outside the city we quote travel separately.
Can you put our branding, lower thirds or a scoreboard on the stream?
Yes. Four upstream keyers and the media player handle logos, lower thirds and full-frame cards, and for sport we drive a live scorebug from our own scoreboard tool onto the same output. Send artwork ahead of the day and we will build the pack in advance.
Do you supply the cameras as well?
Usually, yes — the switcher is the middle of a larger kit. We rent cameras, lenses, tripods, lighting and audio alongside it so one booking covers the whole setup, or we rig around the cameras you already have.
How far in advance should we book?
A week is comfortable. For a conference stage or anything with a multi-camera rig, give us two so we can recce the venue, check the network and plan the cable runs. Short notice is worth asking about — it depends what else is out that day.
Book the switcher and the operator together
Send us the date and the venue and we will confirm availability and a fixed price. Also renting the RØDECaster Video? The two go out together often.
