"Why does my ATEM Mini get hot so quickly?"
When my junior asked me that, I went to see the scene.
A studio with a room temperature of 28 ° C. It is covered with a blindfold cloth on the ATEM Mini. It is surrounded by equipment on all sides, and the air flow is zero. The bottom is on a Styrofoam sheet.
How many hours are you using this?
"It's been about three hours, but I've been getting a lot of videos lately."
If you touch it, it's hot. It's probably over 65 ℃.
ATEM Mini has no active cooling (fan). Heat dissipation is only natural heat dissipation from the side exhaust from the housing. So do not interfere with heat dissipation from the bottom.
His ATEM Mini had an internal temperature of over 65 ° C. After three hours of operation, it had 12 drop frames. The thermal protection circuit was about to shut down.
"What do you think will happen if this stops during the production?"
His face turned pale. A major company's webinar delivery was coming up next week.
I improved the environment that day. Secure more than 15 cm of space in all directions. Spread an aluminum plate on the bottom. Add one USB power supply fan. The cost is 2,000 yen in total.
Next production. The internal temperature after 3 hours is 44 ℃. The drop frame is zero.
"Senpai, I can't believe it. It's so different."
Many people don't know that ATEM Mini's performance deteriorates gradually when the internal temperature exceeds 55 ° C. Above 65 ° C, the risk of stopping increases rapidly.
And this problem can be completely solved with an investment of 2,000 yen.
But it's not just about the heat, the ATEM Mini has nine more things you shouldn't do that 99% of people don't know about.
How to connect audio. How to use buttons. Setting color space. How to choose power supply. Cable selection criteria. Performance requirements of recording media. Network design.
Even one mistake can destabilize the entire system.
I have dealt with 412 troubles in the past five years. I analyzed all of them and summarized them into 10 iron rules.
Whether or not you know this iron rule makes a difference between a professional and an amateur.
I wonder if your ATEM Mini is performing as it should. If you have any concerns, please read this article.
I'm sharing all the knowledge I've gained over 25 years of experience so you don't suffer the same mistakes.
