Will The RØDECaster Video Revolutionize Video Podcasting?

Audio tech company Rode is joining the podcast industry’s pivot to video by releasing its own all-in-one video and audio production console for livestreaming and broadcasting.

The Rodecaster Video mimics the design of more professional video switchers: six video inputs (four HDMI and two USB-C), two HDMI outputs, two combo XLR/1/4” jack inputs, 20 possible audio sources (nine stereo channels simultaneously), and seven customizable scene buttons. 

The new console enables users to operate a near-full video production: from audio mixing to video monitoring to graphics triggering, scene building, recording, and chroma keying (green or blue screen!) for $1,199 USD. The price is steep for someone getting into video production, but Rode is on its way to becoming the go-to podcasting brand, which may convince creators to trust this machine. Read More
