Equipment set up
The positioning of the CameraOne host PC, ATEM switcher and cameras is governed by cable length limitations.
- We recommend using a high-quality USB3 cable no longer than 4m to
connect the ATEM Mini switcher to the CameraOne host PC. - We recommend using high-quality HDMI cables no longer than 10m to connect the cameras to
the ATEM switcher (For longer runs, consider using an SDI version of the ATEM Mini).
Any PC/device connected to the network can view and control the CameraOne browser interface.

Important
- Use a good quality USB3 cable (max. 4m) to connect the switcher to the PC (USB2 may cause unstable video). Note: It is not possible to use USB extenders with the ATEM range
- To Live Stream via the ATEM Mini switcher, ensure the switcher has a wired network connection.
- Live video preview in the CameraOne interface is currently only available via USB connection (via PC and ATEM).
Hard drive recording
- When using a USB-C hard drive recording, a wired network connection to the ATEM is required. Files are deleted from the hard drive when transferred to the PC.
- Browser video preview not currently available when recording to a hard drive connected to the ATEM. (Use HDMI output for preview).
ISO models
- ISO models enable the recording of H.264 isolated camera feeds (+program) to a USB-C hard drive connected to the ATEM switcher – ISO recordings can be retrieved over the network via the CameraOne interface.
- When ISO recordings are transferred over the network to the host PC, they are deleted from the attached hard drive.
