It supports YouTube Live, Facebook and Twitch without requiring additional streaming software. The ATEM Mini Pro costs US$595.

The HyperDeck Studio Mini also has a significant update, including a better quality H.264 codec and to support the AAC audio format, which means files can now be uploaded direct to YouTube. There is now also support for longer recording times in a single file of at least three hours.
