With its wide array of versatile video and audio inputs and outputs, creators can tailor the RØDECaster Video to their exact needs. Configure each of the two HDMI outputs to show preview, program or multiview feeds for external monitoring, use any combination of six USB or HDMI video sources simultaneously, and mix nine channels of stereo audio from a huge selection of potential sources– the possibilities are endless. Beyond connectivity, the RØDECaster Video’s core architecture is designed with flexibility in mind. Choosing between “instant” or “studio” switching modes alters the fundamental switching and previewing behavior, allowing creators to opt for a quick, on-the-fly workflow better suited to solo productions, or a more traditional broadcast operation with multiple people. The powerful custom video engine allows for tremendous flexibility thanks to its unique scene-based operation. Each of the seven scene buttons can contain completely customized layouts with multiple sources of video, images, videos and even keyed inputs, making it easier than ever to setup complex configurations involving green screens, logos, graphics and more.
Creating a custom streaming profile for Twitch, YouTubeLive and other popular platforms allows for direct streaming from the device via Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Connecting external USB storage such as an SSD or thumb drive allows creators to record shows in their entirety, including the ability to capture each video source independently as an ISO recording to edit later. The same post-production flexibility applies to audio as well, with multitrack recording capturing each source separately, and with the option to create custom routing for each of your audio outputs, entirely separate mixes can be sent to the livestream, recording, headphones and more.
RØDECaster Video’s interface offers both intuitive control and flexible function, with large, dedicated buttons to switch video sources and scenes, start and stop recording, enable automatic transitioning, and directly access typically hidden functions such as chromakey control, multi-source layouts, graphics and media. A large 2-inch touchscreen and versatile encoder enables quick-and-easy navigation of video, audio and other settings, transition type and timing, as well as displaying critical information about your show. The innovative Inspect button allows creators to safely preview and configure any inputs, scenes or media at the press of a button.
