Rode RODECaster Video S Compact Video and Audio Production Console
Product Description
The Rode RODECaster Video S is a compact video and audio production console that switches, mixes, records, and streams a multi-camera show from one device, with three HDMI inputs, dual mic preamps, and built-in wireless receivers.
It switches between up to four video sources and five customisable scenes from the front panel, with three HD (1080p) HDMI inputs, a configurable HDMI output, and a multifunction USB-C (UVC) port for cameras and computers. Two Neutrik combo jacks run ultra-low-noise Revolution Preamps with APHEX processing for microphones and instruments, feeding a 10-channel mixer, and dual internal receivers connect Rode Series IV wireless microphones. Media playback, keying, transitions, multi-source scenes, and graphic overlays are all accessible from the front panel. You can record to an external SSD over USB or send a clean feed to a computer via UVC, stream over NDI, RTMP, or RTMPS, and connect over Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, or Ethernet. It is powered over USB-C.
A compact multi-camera show normally needs a separate video switcher, an audio mixer, and a recorder. The RODECaster Video S brings all of that into one small console with minimal setup.
Ideal for: podcasters, videographers, and live streamers producing studio shoots, video podcasts, interviews, and live streams.
