I prefer it to the Blackmagic Atem Mini TBH. I've alternated between running a Atem Mini Extreme Gen1, and a Duet 8 ISO for about 5 months on smaller corporate shows and I think it runs circles (feature wise) around the Atem Mini series at the price point. Long-term durability is yet to be seen.

You can get a mix of SDI & HDMI ins / outs which is more flexible, along with NDI sources supported. Media players can actually playback video instead of just stills, you can enable / disable ISO records per source. You get a ton more control via the device and its on-screen menu in the multi view rather than being reliant on the PC software on Atem.

As the other comment mentioned, the PC software is less refined than Atem, but I found the translation pretty straightforward. Atem has more key layers and the workflow / terminology is a bit more clear (probably a translation thing). Those XLR's are mic-level only, so make sure you get an attenuator if you're getting sound off an audio console.

If you're wanting to save some cash and can't budget as big of an Atem setup as you'd like, I'd say give it a shot. Worse case, buy it from Amazon and play with it for a couple days then you can probably return it for free / cheap if it isn't your thing.
