Pearl Daily Live Stream dives into Black Magic’s NAB 2024 reveal of 20 new products, spotlighting the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO G2, priced higher than its predecessor by ~$200. Key upgrades include full-size XLR audio inputs (replacing mini jacks) and physical buttons/audio dials mimicking the pro ATEM Television Studio line, though critics note a slightly dated aesthetic. The shift answers long-standing user demands for professional-grade connectivity while refining workflows. [Automatically generated summary]
