RØDE RØDECaster Video – Professional Video Switcher and Audio Interface

Designed to excel in a wide variety of production applications—social media, streaming, podcasting, and live events—the RODECaster Video Professional Video Switcher blends the best of HD video switching technology with the familiar studio-grade audio control of previous RODE Casters.

The RODECaster Video Professional Video Switcher 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 Professional Video Switcher using both wired and wireless connections.

Add the RODECaster Video Professional Video Switcher to your preexisting RODE audio ecosystem using the USB-C audio ports or RODE Central software for advanced device configuration.

RODECaster Video Professional Video Switcher

• The RODECaster Video Professional Video Switcher features nine mix-effect layers that can simultaneously display in both preview and program views. Two downstream keyers toggle overlays and logo, two chroma-kiers toggle different backgrounds, and two media players can play simultaneous MP4 video, PNG/JPG photos, or WAV audio from an inserted microSD card.
• Multiview allows you to visualize both the program and preview, all the live inputs with scene and media thumbnails, the audio mixer and channel status, recording/network/storage status as well as runtime, date, and time information. Non-destructive setup means the process can be done live or configured as a saved scene without interrupting the flow of your production.
• Switch between six 1080p60 video sources—four HDMI and two USB-C—and create up to seven complex scenes with multiple layers of video, media, and graphics. Save these scenes and recall them with the touch of a button.
• Configure the two HDMI outputs to connect displays and view preview, program, and Multiview feeds. Use the program feed to see what is being streamed/recorded and the preview feed to view inputs, scenes, graphics, or media sources before they go live.

Audio Sources

• Two studio-grade combo XLR-1/4″ jacks on the console are equipped with low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamps to ensure pristine audio capture from XLR microphones and instruments.
• Use digital USB-C ports to connect RODE USB microphones, the RODE Caster Pro II, or Duo Audio Production Studios. Other USB-C ports support 2-in/2-out multichannel outputs, mix-minus, and MFi protocols.
• Internal wireless receivers can connect RODE series IV wireless microphones to the console, like the Wireless GO II and Wireless PRO.
• Aphex VoxLab audio processing equips the RODE Caster Video with EQ, compressor, noise gate, high-pass filter, de-esser, Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, and Compellor effects per channel. Integrated preamps provide up to 75 dB input gain and -131.5 dBV equivalent input noise.
• Mix and process audio onboard using the touchscreen and rotary encoder or the software mixer in RODE Central.
