RODE made clear its intention to revolutionize video production with the launch of the RODECaster Video.
On Tuesday, September 24, RODE unveiled the new addition to the RODECaster lineup. The RODEcaster Pro that debuted in 2018 revolutionized the podcast industry. And the company is hoping to do the same with the new RODECaster Video.
The company describes:
“The future of content creation has arrived! The RØDECaster Video is a revolutionary video and audio production console that combines state-of-the-art video switching, production and recording capabilities with a complete professional audio studio.”
RODE further describes, “The RØDECaster Video’s intuitive interface and dynamic touchscreen give you hands-on control of every element of your show, from switching video and configuring complex multi-source layouts to mixing and processing your audio.”

The RODECaster Video features the professional build quality we’ve come to expect from RODE. It gives you the ability to capture up to four HDMI video sources (and an additional two webcams via USB), ISO record all of your tracks to an external USB hard drive, and, something incredible for solo creators, it has intelligent auto-switching technology that can automatically switch your camera angles depending on who’s talking.
The device does lack support for 4K video, which will deter some creators. But, because it’s designed for streaming applications, the 1080p resolution is more than adequate.
