Playing For Change Uses ATEM Mini Pro

​Livestreams for Playing for Change, an international foundation created to connect people through music, used the ATEM Mini Pro and Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K.

The organization brings together a diverse mix of musicians from all musical genres performing in their local environment. Concerts are broadcast via the Playing for Change YouTube channel, which has more than two million subscribers.

Live producer and cofounder of LivestreamBCN, Carlos Larrondo, said he chose the ATEM Mini Pro for its flexibility, durability and portability. “It allows me to tailor to what best suits the ambience that the musician wants to embody, whether this is in a studio, a concert venue or even outdoors.”

All productions are captured at 1080p24. When working on smaller setups, or in particular if crew numbers are limited, Larrondo also controls the BPCC 6K via the ATEM Mini Pro.

“The software control completes the user experience seamlessly, and the options for AV signal destinations are so easy to operate and edit in the library file, which makes my production even more efficient.”
