Among the most interesting new non-camera hardware products announced today by Blackmagic Design are the new ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2, HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro, and the ATEM Micro Camera Panel. All products further enhance the connectivity and functionality of live streaming and multi-camera productions.
Blackmagic Design CEO Grant Petty has traditionally introduced new products in a livestream shortly before the NAB Show. We divided this up into three articles:
- Blackmagic Design hardware news – ATEM, HyperDeck, etc
- Blackmagic Design camera news – PYXIS 12K
- Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve 20
In this article, we focus on the new non-camera hardware updates. If you are interested in the other news, feel free to click on the corresponding link (articles are coming soon). Now, let’s take a quick look at what’s new with Blackmagic Design hardware.
ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2
The new generation of Blackmagic Design’s popular HDMI switcher has been released, and it features a new layout, new controls, new buttons, and enhanced connectivity options.
Filmmaking for Photographers
Philip Bloom returns with this guide to making the jump from telling a story in a single frame to telling a story over time and space. This course is aimed at established photographers, but also holds relevant information for filmmakers.
There are still 8 HDMI inputs, but now 3 HDMI outputs, a manual transition fader, two 10G ethernet ports, a built-in media player, a CFexpress memory card slot, and more. There are now three USB-C ports.
The audio features were enhanced as well. The panel now features a 6.3mm headphone jack, XLR audio analog inputs with phantom power, MADI IN, and more.
The new ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2 should be available in July 2025, and it will sell for $1,995.
HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro
HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro is a new version of Blackmagic’s live production clip player. Compared to the existing HyperDeck Shuttle HD, the new 4K Pro model (apart from supporting UHD resolution) includes a built-in 7” touchscreen and expanded connectivity.
The device features a speaker, large search dial, internal SD card for recording, 10G ethernet port for recording and connection. There are 12V power, SDI & HDMI ports. The HyperDeck Shuttle 4k Pro should be available in June and will cost $1,495 without any built-in storage or $1,895 with 2TB built-in M.2 SSD.
ATEM Micro Camera Panel
ATEM Micro Camera Panel is a single control unit that can fully control compatible cameras. The new micro model is based on the existing large ATEM Camera Control Panel, which features four separate units for full simultaneous camera control.
The ATEM Micro Camera Panel features an internal battery and a USB-C port for charging and connection. It can, however, function completely without cable via a Bluetooth connection.
