RODE RODECaster Video All-in-One Production Console

Designed to excel in a wide variety of production applications—social media, streaming, podcasting, and live events—the RODECaster Video blends the best of HD video switching technology with the familiar studio-grade audio control of previous RODECasters. The console offers intuitive control over both video and audio sources with its onboard controls, 2″ touchscreen display, and rotary encoder. A variety of connectivity options, including HDMI and USB-C ports, accommodate UVC video sources as well as both analog and digital audio sources. Up to 20 possible audio sources, or nine stereo channels, can be connected to the RODECaster Video using both wired and wireless connections. Add the RODECaster Video to your preexisting RODE audio ecosystem using the USB-C audio ports or RODE Central software for advanced device configuration.

The newest update to the RODECaster Video unlocks NDI support for four NDI inputs and one NDI output via Ethernet to deliver video over IP at no additional cost. PTZ control for compatible NDI cameras is also introduced with this update for real-time adjustments. Advanced Luma Key, Key Mask, and Layer Stretch refine the device’s keying capabilities. You can now use any input as an overlay and apply rounded corners to scene layers and overlays. Stretch or squash scene layers for extra versatility. Pair the RODECaster Video with your RODECaster Pro II or RODECaster Duo and link specific audio channels to camera angles for automatic video switching based on who’s speaking. Additional UI and routing enhancements gray out pre-mute meters and separate output mixers for HDMI and NDI outputs.

The current USB 4 and 5 ports on the RODECaster support select RODE USB microphones including the PodMic USB, NT-USB+, NT-USB Mini, VideoMic NTG, VideoMic GO II, XCM-50, and XCM-10.

Use the RODE Central companion software when connected to a computer to adjust more advanced features of the RODECaster Video. Construct scenes using remote control, configure automatic switching based on audio inputs, mix audio, and configure streaming settings and profiles as well as adjust advanced settings and customizations. The software supports macOS and Windows operating systems.

The scene builder in RODE Central allows you to create a completely customized scene from scratch. Select a RODE preset with default layouts and themes for your keying backgrounds or video borders. A live RTMP feed will update to show your changes in real-time.
