Do You Need Both? BlackMagic Web Presenter vs ATEM Mini Pro

In the latest for our Encoder Shootout series, we take the BlackMagic Web Presenter and ATEM Mini Pro through their paces in an attempt to help producers discover the best encoder solutions for their streaming productions. Here at LiveX, we created a mix of scientific and real-life testing process that will allow you to make your own judgments before hearing our opinion.

Live encoding causes a lot of debate in the streaming and broadcast communities, and the decisions we make about how it’s done not only affect the quality of the stream, but the budget of the production. The price difference between encoder tiers can add up quickly when you’re doing multiple channels. We developed a test focusing on the end-viewer experience for a common video stream rather than transport streams.

The goal is not to crown a winner, but give you one more piece of information when choosing an encoder.
