The Power of the RØDECaster Video, Now More Compact
Inherited from the RØDECaster Video, the RØDECaster Video S features the same octa-core architecture and broadcast quality in a smaller chassis. Designed to fit on any desk, it combines video switching, recording, and streaming with a true audio mixer, without the complexity of stacking multiple devices.
Designed for Solo Creators, Videocasts, and Streamers
Whether you?re hosting a video podcast, a multichannel interview, or live gaming, the RØDECaster Video S centralizes cameras, microphones, media, and graphics. Dedicated source/scene buttons, a 2-inch screen, and an encoder provide immediate control. Auto-switching handles shot changes based on who?s speaking for smooth solo live streams.
Key Features for a Professional, Frictionless Workflow
Video, no computer needed: switch between 4 video sources and up to 5 fully customizable scenes, overlay media and graphics, apply a green screen with a single gesture thanks to automatic chroma key. The HDMI output displays program, preview, or multi-view, while the ?Inspect? function allows you to preview and adjust any input without risking the live broadcast.
Impeccable audio: Revolution preamps with very low noise, 9 stereo channels, and APHEX processing (EQ, compressor, noise gate, high-pass filter, de-esser, Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, Compellor) deliver broadcast-quality sound whether you use XLR, instruments, USB, Bluetooth, or Series IV wireless microphones.
Modern connectivity: 3 HDMI 1080p inputs, USB-C for webcams and RØDE peripherals, Ethernet with NDI for network cameras and PTZ control, plus Dual Cam mode via the RØDE Capture app on iOS. Stream directly to YouTube, Twitch, and other platforms, or record to SSD/USB drive with ISO tracks for editing.
