Scene transitions, overlays and keying are managed directly from the control surface, helping users create smooth, professional results without external software or complex wiring.

With advanced controls and seamless connectivity, the RodeCaster Video S is ideal for podcasting and live broadcasts. Perfect for podcasters, gamers and content creation; the Video S provides all the tools you need to streamline your workflow and instantly transition between scenes and video sources.

Professional audio with signature processing
Audio performance is handled by Rode’s renowned technology. The two Neutrik combo jacks use Revolution Preamps for clean gain and ultra-low noise. Built-in APHEX processing enhances any voice or instrument with EQ, compression and signature Aural Exciter and Big Bottom effects. These tools produce a balanced, polished sound ready for broadcast or recording straight from the console, no post-processing required.

Flexible connectivity for modern creators
Connectivity is designed for versatility. Three HDMI inputs handle HD cameras, while USB-C ports allow connections to computers, SSDs or external devices for direct recording and playback.

Dual internal wireless receivers pair instantly with Rode Series IV microphones, reducing cables and keeping the workspace tidy. Network camera support through NDI and dual-computer linking provide extra flexibility for live or studio setups.

Streamlined workflow and intuitive control
The bright touchscreen interface offers quick access to scenes, transitions and audio settings. Intelligent auto-switching changes video sources automatically based on active audio inputs, allowing hands-free operation during live sessions.

Streaming can be done directly to major platforms using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, while isolated recordings can be saved to an external drive for detailed post-production. Built in Sydney, the RodeCaster Video S delivers a compact, professional solution that simplifies complex video and audio production for any creator.
