RGBlink Mini MX Production Mixer

The RGBlink Mini MX is a professional 4 channel video and 8 channel audio mixer for productions, live events and streaming events. It is operated via mechanical controls, the 5.5" touch display or via a browser-based web interface on connected notebooks/tablets or smartphones. The joystick and zoom bar allow control of up to 4 PTZ cameras using the VISCA protocol. Video signals, images for chroma-key cross-fades, subtitles and logos can be placed in different layers and scaled and cropped as desired. Numerous transition modes, storable scene settings and recallable sound effects guarantee a professional result. The intuitive controls make the Mini MX the perfect companion for events and hybrid events, additionally the programme stream can be recorded on an external USB memory.

Inputs:

The Mini MX has 4 HDMI 2.0 inputs with a maximum resolution of up to 4K60p. The built-in scaler processes camera or notebook signals with different resolutions and frames. Up to 4 embedded audio streams can be mixed in via rotary controls or switched automatically via the "Audio follows Video" function. The two XLR sockets, one with 48V phantom power, are used to connect microphones and the 6.35mm TRS jack as an additional audio input. Smartphones or tablets can be connected via Bluetooth and transfer another audio stream to the Mini MX. These 4 audio inputs can be controlled via sliders and monitored or muted via 2 buttons for each source. The Mini MX's USB-C connector allows audio signals from (radio) microphones, conference phones, and other USB sources to be digitally fed in. If required, an audio delay of up to 300ms is possible to keep the different signals perfectly synchronised. The mixer is powered via the supplied USB-C PD power supply unit with a consumption of max. 36 watts.

Integrated PTZ camera control

Up to 4 PTZ cameras can be panned, tilted or zoomed at variable speeds using the universal VISCA protocol. Control is via the joystick and zoom bar, on the 5.5" touch display or remotely controlled via browser interface. 16 different camera positions can be stored and recalled in the scenario presets.

Outputs

The video signals are output via 2 HDMI 1.3 interfaces as a program stream to a large display or as a preview stream to an external preview monitor. The 3.5 mm jack socket is used to connect headphones in order to monitor and mix the various sound sources in advance. Audio signals can also be fed into an amplifier via the 6.35 mm TRS jack. It can simply be included in programs like OBS and MS Teams Zoom since when attached via USB, the computer recognizes it as a video source without the need for drivers.

Functions

The Mini MX allows the creation of 16 different scene presets that store the positions of the video layers, background image of the chroma keying and PTZ camera viewing angle. These presets can also be saved and recalled during live operation. When switching, either via the T-bar or directly via buttons, 15 transition modes and variable time windows are available to the user. The Chroma-Keyer can be used to create countless virtual reality applications. Multi-layered layers of two video streams, a background image, subtitles, OSD text or logo can be created, scaled and cropped as desired, adding a professional touch to any production. The 5.5" touch display has various display options: Preview mode, full screen, audio monitor and the individual menus for configuration. 16 sound clips can be stored in a database and mixed in at any time. All settings and controls are also possible via the browser interface using a smartphone, tablet or notebook. All buttons are assigned different colours so that the current status can be easily interpreted. An integrated holder allows smartphones or tablets to be held in the user's field of vision. Video streams from the switcher can be transmitted to the Internet using connected cellphones' 4G or 5G bands. Weighing approx. 1.5 KG, it rests firmly on its non-slip rubber feet; alternatively, permanent installation is possible via a ¼"-20 tripod thread or a VESA Mount 100 x 100 mm on the underside.
