The Blackmagic Atem Mini series of video switchers has gained immense popularity among live streaming enthusiasts. While these devices are fantastic for streaming, they share a common vulnerability. Each unit is equipped with a TDP158 HDMI ReTimer IC on the HDMI output, which is quite delicate and prone to failure under various conditions, leaving you without HDMI output. If this issue arises while still under warranty, Blackmagic typically offers a replacement. However, once the warranty expires, they will not provide support, and your Atem Mini will become unusable, destined for the landfill.
But don’t despair! In this video, we will guide you through the repair process step-by-step. If you find that you’re unable to fix it on your own, we also provide an out-of-warranty repair service for all BlackMagic Atem Minis facing this problem.
