Multi View with the ATEM Mini - NOT PRO.
You can do this actually. It involves using an HDMI splitter on every input. You can order them on Amazon. It has one import and 2 outs. One goes to the ATEM and the other goes to a Multiview box that in my case has 4 inputs. If it has an USB mini connection for powerDO NOT plug it in.
Once all channels have been connected, you toke the output from the Multiview box and plug it in to a basic garden variety monitor. I had bad luck with a Samsung and now use an old HP. The multi view box has the ability to switch between different configurations. Since I have 4 inputs, I split my monitor into 4 monitors. Now I can see each source, and the program out on a separate monitor.
Some tips if you are going to do this at home.......
Buy good quality HDMI cable. 1.4's are fine. I didn't try 2.0.
My two boxes (ATEM and Multiview) are connected with a 6 inch straight cable to the splitter, then another 6 inch cable from the splitter to the Multiview box. You can use what ever length of cable to connect to the monitor.
I followed this YouTube video. He gets it mostly correct, except he wants you to plug in the power cable on the 1-2 out spitters. This is his YouTube page and his parts list: Please note I give him all the credit for this little trick.
