will display 'stop'. When disks are connected, you will see them appear as icons
below the indicator.
When a disk is recording, the indicator displays 'rec' and will illuminate bright red.
Duration Counter Underneath the recording indicator is the duration counter. When you
‚
press the record button on ATEM Mini Pro, the duration counter will start running.

status. For example, if you are using two drives, their drive names will be displayed along
with available space and record time remaining. While a disk is recording, the indicator will
illuminate red and shows how much disk space is left.
The disks are ordered by capacity. For example, if you have 4 SSDs connected via a
Blackmagic MultiDock 10G, the drive with the largest remaining space will be labelled
1. Drive 2 will be the SSD with the next largest available space. When drives 1 and 2 are
full, drive 3 will then assume the disk 1 indicator and disk 2 will become drive 4. You can
always see what drives are assigned to the disk numbers by looking at the disk names
underneath their icons.
Audio View
During your broadcast you can monitor the audio levels for each source and the levels of the
program output using the audio view.
Audio Meters Each input and the program output has its own audio meter and you
‚
can monitor them all simultaneously. If the audio level rises above -10dB the meter will
illuminate red to warn you that it is close to the maximum strength of 0dB. Once the level
reaches 0dB the audio will clip. Clipping means the audio will distort and you will need
to decrease the level using ATEM Mini Pro's audio level buttons or the audio mixer in
ATEM Software Control. You can read more about ATEM Software Control in the next
section of this manual.
The audio meter is an important tool to monitor your levels so you can make sure your
audio always sounds great!
Fairlight Icons These icons let you know if EQ and dynamics controls are enabled in
‚
ATEM Software Control's audio page.
If the Fairlight icons are colored and illuminated, the EQ or dynamics
tool is active and the input is on air.
If the icons are colored but dim, it means the tools are active, but the
input is not on air.
If the icons are dim and colorless, the tools are inactive or bypassed
on the audio page.
The multiview is an excellent tool that will let you spot every detail and put you in the moment.
For example, it can help you previsualize ideas in the preview window before switching them to
the program output. You can monitor each HDMI source and test switching between them, set
up a chroma key, or even preview a transition to see what it will look like before switching it to
the program output!
Prior to recording, or if there are no disks connected, the indicator
These indicators provide details on each drive and its recording
