Hi,

Is there a web to use the ATEM Mini without network? We want to record a recording only to an external hard drive. But either I connect the Atem Mini via USD, then the hard drive no longer works. Or I connect the hard disk, then I need the Ethernet cable to make contact with the Atem Mini via the network. Can I make this connection without Ethernet, but at the same time, so to speak offline, also record the recording?

Hi, Toby!
This question has come up before - when you connect the ATEM to a PC/Mac, it appears as a device to the PC, which is acting as the server.
When you connect a disk to the ATEM, the ATEM is the server, and the disk is the device.
The ATEM port can only be one of those at a time - it can't be both at the same time.
I'm not sure why you're reluctant to use the Ethernet port (this does not mean you need a "network" - but you do need an Ethernet connection to at least your PC/Mac) - but that does appear to be your only alternative at this point.
