Speaking of Ethernet, this too has a dual purpose.

Thankfully, you can still control it over Ethernet, but you won’t be able to add it to OBS or any other software without a direct connection. Obviously, if you’ve got a hard drive plugged in to the USB-C port, you can’t use the Mini Pro with your PC. This is useful if you want to later edit a video before publishing it, or just want a direct copy of the stream without any quality loss. You can also use the USB Out to connect an external hard drive and write directly to disk. Once added in, you can then use the Mini Pro to easily control the different HDMI sources, audio levels, and unleash the true potential of the Mini Pro. This includes streaming software such as OBS, or even videoconferencing solutions such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom. When connected directly to a computer via a USB cable, the Mini Pro shows up as a standard webcam interface, so it can easily be added to pretty much any software immediately. I do wish there was a trade in for the ISO version since it can record multiple streams.The USB-C port serves two functions on the Mini Pro. We borrowed one and the 'auto' setting on the XF705 corrected the issues we had using a mixer and then using the mic port on the ATEM.

When we get the money we are getting another Sen AVX-ME2 and connecting to the same camera. We have tried adapters and splitters for two lav mics into the single mic port however the balance gets out of whack between the two of us. We did also buy one Sen AVX-ME2 for shots when it is one person on camera, and that is by far the best audio. We leave the a Camera mic on for the entire live stream. The A camera is connected to an overhead boom. Since our cameras are A Two Shot, B Right close up and C Left Close up most of the time this is the easy solution. The 'on' and 'off' buttons above the input number are how you do it. You can select the mic even if that camera isn't selected. We use a Canon XF705/205 mix for CoolToys.TV and and each camera has an XLR mic attached to it. This depends on the cameras and this is for the mini pro, I am not 100% sure the mini does this but it has the same buttons and I think they all include the fairlight audio mixer, so I think it is worth a try.
