Blackmagic significantly drops the price of its Atem Mini, Mini Pro and Mini Pro ISO live stream switchers

Blackmagic has just made a pretty significant price drop across most of its popular Blackmagic Atem Mini product line video switchers. The 8-input Atem Mini Extreme series remain at their original prices, but the 4-input Atem Mini, Atem Mini Pro and Atem Mini Pro ISO, however, have had very large chunks knocked off each of their prices.

The base model Atem Mini has dropped from $295 to $195, the Atem Mini Pro sees a $200 drop going from $495 to $295 and the Atem Mini Pro ISO, which will allows you to record all four video signals, as well as the final mix, has seen the largest drop, going from $795 down to $495.
