Cache Status  The cache status displays the capacity of ATEM Mini Pro’s built in memory
buffer. The cache is a small amount of internal memory that continuously records and plays
the program output. It acts as a safety measure if the broadcast data rate decreases below
a level able to sustain video. The variable nature of the internet is mostly due to network
activity or wireless signal strength, so if the broadcast data rate decreases, the buffer data
will increase accordingly. If the connection speed becomes slow enough that it cannot
support the video stream, the cache will fill with video frames to compensate. However, once
the cache is 100% full, the video stream will be compromised, so you will want to avoid a full
cache where possible. You can do this by testing the connection speed when you set up
your stream. During a broadcast test, watch the cache display in the multiview. If the cache
frequently approaches 100%, choose a lower quality in the live stream settings.

Recording View
If you are recording to external drives via USB-C, this view will display the current recording status.

‚ Recording Indicator  Prior to recording, or if there are no disks connected, the indicator
will display ‘stop’. When disks are connected, you will see them appear as icons
below the indicator.
When a disk is recording, the indicator displays ‘rec’ and will illuminate bright red.

‚ Duration Counter  Underneath the recording indicator is the duration counter. When you
press the record button on ATEM Mini Pro, the duration counter will start running.
‚ Record Status Indicators  These indicators provide details on each drive and its recording
status. For example, if you are using two drives, their drive names will be displayed along
with available space and record time remaining. While a disk is recording, the indicator will
illuminate red and shows how much disk space is left.
The disks are ordered by capacity. For example, if you have 4 SSDs connected via a Blackmagic
MultiDock 10G, the drive with the largest remaining space will be labelled 1. Drive 2 will be the
SSD with the next largest available space. When drives 1 and 2 are full, drive 3 will then assume
the disk 1 indicator and disk 2 will become drive 4. You can always see what drives are assigned
to the disk numbers by looking at the disk names underneath their icons.

Audio View
During your broadcast you can monitor the audio levels for each source and the levels of the
program output using the audio view.
