Tuesday 24th September 2024: RØDE Unveils the RØDECaster Video: All-in-One Console for Video and Audio Production.
RØDE has once again revolutionized the content creation landscape with the launch of the RØDECaster Video, an all-in-one console designed to combine professional video switching and audio mixing capabilities in a single, compact device. Just as the RØDECaster Pro transformed podcasting, the RØDECaster Video is set to do the same for video production, offering an innovative, intuitive solution for content creators, video podcasters, streamers, and broadcasters.
The RØDECaster Video is more than just a video switcher; it’s a complete production console that brings video and audio together seamlessly. Built with versatility in mind, it’s designed for everyone, from solo creators to large-scale video production teams. Whether you’re managing live streams, creating video content, or handling multi-source video productions, the RØDECaster Video offers the power and flexibility you need to take your production to the next level.
At the heart of the RØDECaster Video is an octa-core CPU, paired with a cutting-edge video engine that supports scene-based architecture. This makes it incredibly simple to configure, switch, and manage complex multi-source layouts at the touch of a button. With four HDMI inputs and two USB-C inputs, users can switch between six video sources, including webcams, with ease. This provides unmatched flexibility for creators who need a dynamic setup.
In addition to its robust video capabilities, the RØDECaster Video offers industry-leading audio features. It’s equipped with two studio-grade Neutrik® combo jacks with Revolution Preamps™ for capturing high-quality audio from XLR microphones, instruments, or other audio devices. Furthermore, the console includes built-in wireless receivers for RØDE’s Wireless PRO, ME, and GO II microphones, offering even more recording options.
The console’s APHEX® audio processing tools—including compressors, EQ, and the iconic Aural Exciter™ and Big Bottom™—ensure that your audio is as polished and professional as your video content. It also features intelligent auto-switching based on audio cues, making hands-free switching between video sources seamless and intuitive.
The RØDECaster Video is designed with creators in mind. Its versatile mounting options allow users to configure HDMI outputs for preview or program feeds, while its innovative "Inspect" feature allows quick preview and adjustments for any scene or input. With the ability to stream directly to major platforms via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB, it’s never been easier to produce professional-quality live content.
For even more control, the RØDECaster Video integrates with RØDE Central, offering advanced configuration options for remote control over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. With the scene builder, users can craft fully customized video layouts, add graphics, adjust audio effects, and more—all from their computer or mobile device.
One of the RØDECaster Video's most impressive features is its ability to make complex video production simple. The scene-based interface allows users to plan their entire production in advance, setting up video sources, graphics, and media playback across seven scene buttons for quick, on-the-fly switching. Whether you’re streaming or recording for post-editing, the RØDECaster Video provides unparalleled control over your workflow.
With dual HDMI outputs, flexible connectivity options, and multitrack recording capabilities, the RØDECaster Video gives creators the tools they need to produce engaging content—without the need for additional equipment or operators.
The RØDECaster Video is a game-changing production tool that combines video switching and audio mixing in a single, powerful console. With its scene-based architecture, professional-grade audio processing, and intuitive interface, it’s designed to streamline the production process and provide creators with everything they need to make incredible content.
