RODE RODECaster Video All-in-One Production Console

The RODE RODECaster Video All-in-One Production Console is designed to excel in a wide variety of production applications, including social media, streaming, podcasting, and live events, blending the best of HD video switching technology with the familiar studio-grade audio control found in previous RODECasters. The console offers intuitive control over both video and audio sources with its onboard controls, a 2-inch touchscreen display, and a rotary encoder.

Video handling supports up to 6 simultaneous input feeds: 4 type-A HDMI (1.4b) inputs supporting resolutions up to 1080p, each with automatic frame rate conversion, along with 2 multi-function USB-C ports for UVC video sources such as webcams, letting up to two computers or mobile devices connect for streaming at once. Two configurable HDMI outputs provide preview, program, or multiview feeds, with video output supporting 8-bit 4:4:4 RGB/YUV color at up to 1080p60. Users can switch between up to 9 Mix/Effect layers and 7 customizable scenes, with automatic chroma keying, generated borders, media playback, graphic overlays, and transitions all accessible directly from the front panel.

The integrated audio mixer handles up to 20 possible audio sources across 9 simultaneous stereo channels, including two Neutrik combo XLR/1/4″ TRS inputs with RODE’s ultra-low-noise, high-gain Revolution preamps, along with wireless microphone inputs, video clip and sound playback, embedded HDMI audio, Bluetooth, and both USB audio interface (computer) and USB hosting (microphone) connections. Per-channel audio processing uses Aphex VoxLab technology, providing studio-grade EQ, compression, and de-essing.

Streaming and recording capability includes direct RTMP livestreaming to platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Live via Wi-Fi 6 or Ethernet, with real-time signal health reporting shown on the multiview. The console records the program feed as an H.264/AVC MP4 file with an embedded AAC stereo mix, with isolated (ISO) recording of all 6 video inputs plus the program feed as independent files (up to 1080p30), and up to 9 independent stereo WAV audio tracks, all saved to a microSD card or external USB storage device for maximum post-production flexibility.

Build quality centers on a compact console measuring approximately 305.9 x 132 x 61.4mm, with Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, an RJ45 Ethernet port, and USB-C power input (60W PD, 20V/3A). The console is compatible with RODE Central and RODE’s broader software suite for macOS (10.15 or later) and Windows (10-11).
