I have an ATEM Production Studio 4K which had the same issue. This guide was helpful to know how to map the exhaust fan wiring. There are 2 12v heat sync fans that have the same color scheme. I just crimped the wires strait across, and everything worked. I’m now able to live edit without the distraction of a loud switch!
Thank you!!
I just did the same on my atem m/e production 4k but the side fans (exhaust) are not on. I wonder if there’s a threshold at which they power on? Any recommendation? The heat sink fans work right away.
Can I have a schematic diagram for this product ?
Awesome video, thanks! Do you have a similar iFixit kit and video for the ATEM Mini Pro?
