Video Interface
The RODECaster Video S features nine mix-effect layers that can simultaneously display in both preview and program views. Two downstream keyers toggle overlays and logo, two chroma-keyers toggle different backgrounds, and one luma keyer and two media players can play simultaneous MP4 video, PNG/JPG photos, or WAV audio from a USB SSD or flash drive.
Multiview allows you to visualize the program and preview, all the live inputs with scene and media thumbnails, the audio mixer and channel status, and recording/network/storage status, as well as runtime, date, and time information. Nondestructive setup means the process can be done live or configured as a saved scene without interrupting the flow of your production.
Switch between four 1080p60 video sources (three HDMI and one USB-C) and create complex scenes with multiple layers of video, media, and graphics. Save these scenes and recall them with the touch of a button.
You can also input up to four NDI streams such as PTZ cameras for streaming output.
Configure the single HDMI output 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.
USB Microphone and Webcam Support
The USB 4 port on the RODECaster support select RODE USB microphones including the RODECaster Pro II and Duo, as well as a compatible webcam for direct video input.
Audio Sources
Two studio-grade combo XLR-1/4" jacks on the console are equipped with low-noise, high-gain Revolution Preamps with phantom power to ensure pristine audio capture from XLR microphones and instruments.
Use digital USB-C ports to connect RODE USB microphones, the RODECaster 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 RODECaster Video S 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.
Intuitive Controls
The RODECaster Video S prioritizes scene-based switching with an intuitive control layout. This gives users quicker access to the tools they need to create dynamic content without needing to access complicated settings. The front panel of the device includes a wide variety of controls specific to certain features.
Automatic chroma keying makes replacing backgrounds with media or live video inputs a breeze. Apply transparency to use the input in scenes or with various backgrounds. Choose between blue and green screen with advanced controls.
Media buttons load video clips, images, and sounds onto a USB drive for use in your production. Two internal video players allow you to transition from one to another in your scene compositions.
Graphic buttons load images with transparency. Dynamically trigger graphics to transition over an input or scene.
Intelligent Auto-Switching
Intelligent auto-switching provides seamless and creative hands-free switching between video sources. Any audio input can be linked to any video source, allowing intelligent level detection to automatically trigger switching when your talent is speaking to follow the conversation. Switching priorities and screen time algorithms provides a natural feel, as if a producer or technical director were calling the shots.
Intuitive Streaming and Recording
Stream up to 100 Mb/s directly using RTMP/RTMPS to major platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook Live via integrated Wi-Fi 6 or Ethernet connection. Real-time signal health reporting is displayed via multiview. Up to four NDI sources, such as PTZ cameras, can be input with a single NDI output via Ethernet streaming. The Video S can also utilize dual-cam streaming using the free RODE Capture app for iOS.
Record directly to an external USB storage device or the internal 24GB media storage, including isolated (ISO) recording for more flexible postproduction workflows. You can record your program feed as an H.264/AVC MP4 file with embedded AAC stereo mix in up to 1080p30 resolution. Multiple audio tracks can be recorded as nine independent stereo WAV files.
