Wanted to share this ATEM Mini Extreme mounting solution I cobbled together using a guitar pedalboard. Needs a little tidying up but it works great for a compact rig without all the dangling converters. Gives me SDI and SuperSource in a budget-friendly, ready-to-use rig.
The converters each go into the ATEM Mini Extreme inputs 1-6, leaving 7-8 open for direct HDMI inputs. SDI loop outs go into my 12x12 video hub when I need routing. Also allows me to feed HDMI inputs into the router without a bunch of dangling converters.
The ATEM's two HDMI outputs run back through the last two SDI/HDMI converters to give me SDI outputs, but you have to ensure those converters have an SDI input or they will loop back to inputs 5-6.
The Temple Board has cutouts on the side, which I use for the XLR inputs on the ART transformer. This goes into Mic 1 input with no perceivable noise. You do, of course, have to use the delay feature on this input if getting audio in via this method.
I left a little gap between the last converter for running the USB-C and Cat5 cables, though it activates my OCD.
If you're not using the physical buttons, the whole board fits comfortably on top of a rack or permanently inside a 3RU shelf space.
If only using the 4 input ATEM Mini, you could probably get away with the Temple Solo 18 board.
Let me know if this was helpful for you.
