Hello,
Is there any chance that the MAC mini HDMI port could work as input?
With my company we're trying to build a portable unit to stream broadcast video: ideally the mac mini should receive the video input and transmit through a software like Wirecast that we would install for the purpose.
For that an HDMI as input would be ideal - if not is the thunderbolt capable of streaming like the old firewire could?
Many Thanks to anyone who can help!

No. The HDMI port doesn't support video-in, and the Thunderbolt port only does so on some iMacs.

Thank you Niel!
This has been quick, although frustrating..

You can get a Thunderbolt box like the following to input video via HDMI and other connectins

So if the camera feed is converted through another unit (in this case a Blackmagic) the feed can be taken by the MacMini through its Thunderbolt or USB3 port to be then streamed with a software installed on it?
To clarify the path would be: Camera SDI output -> Blackmagic to convert -> USB3 to MacMini to stream
A Blackmagic technician on their forum thinks its possible with the Blackmagic US Pro as long as the MacMini recognise it.
Can all this be correct?
Thanks!

That sounds correct The BlackMagic just serves as a way of getting the signal/video into the Mac.
