The USB-C webcam output from the ATEM Mini into the USB port on the Mac is the easiest way to get video from the ATEM Mini into the computer. The USB output supports resolutions up to 1080p60 and uses MJPEG compression such that it fits within the bandwidth of a USB 2.0 port.
A second option would be to take the HDMI program output from the ATEM Mini and send it into the UltraStudio Mini Recorder connected to one of the Thunderbolt 2 ports. In theory the video quality of the video capture of the UltraStudio Mini Recorder might be slightly better since it supports uncompressed capture, although it only supports video resolutions up to 1080p30.
Having said that, if you are going to compress the video input to the computer for internet delivery anyway, there may not be much of a difference in the quality of the resulting video by the time it is compressed to streaming bitrates.
