Multiple HDMI/SDI Inputs

If you need more than one HDMI or SDI input, it is recommended to use an external Thunderbolt PCIe Expander box and one or more Blackmagic PCI cards.

*What about ATEM Mini? The ATEM mini can only supply one input at a time into the Mac via USB C. This works as well and can be useful in some cases, but limits what you can do with mimoLive. The Expander box/card(s) combo is like ATEM Mini on steroids.

Thunderbolt PCIe Expander Boxes:
- Sonnettech PCIe Card Expansion Systems (Various desktop enclosures with 1 to 3 slots, 19 inch Rack mount version)
- OWC Mercury Helios (1 Slot desktop)

Blackmagic Design Cards:
- 4 HDMI inputs – Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder
- 4 SDI in-/outputs – Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2
- 8 SDI in-/outputs – Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2 (Note: This card features mini SDI connectors that need adapters and are more delicate)

!If you need SDI key/fill playout, you need to use a Blackmagic device that offers keying capabilities, like the UltraStudio models. See SDI Playout for more info.
