Why Podcasters Are Making the Switch

Audio + Video, Seamlessly Integrated

Most podcasters who dip into video face a tangle of gear: audio interfaces, switchers, capture cards, mixers, and more. The RØDECaster Video consolidates all of that. It handles up to four HDMI camera feeds, multiple USB-C sources, and high-quality XLR mic inputs, all while processing and recording the audio professionally.

Broadcast-Quality Audio

Podcasters know that poor audio kills viewer retention. The RØDECaster Video comes equipped with RØDE’s Revolution Preamps and APHEX audio processing, which means your voice sounds clean, warm, and professional—no post-production needed.

Easy Scene Switching and Overlays

With customizable scenes and live switching, podcasters can effortlessly toggle between camera angles, slide decks, split-screens, or branded overlays. Whether you’re recording solo episodes or interviews, your video looks dynamic and polished.

Live Streaming, Built In

No extra software needed. The RØDECaster Video streams directly to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch. This is perfect for podcasters who want to go live with audience Q&As, guest panels, or real-time commentary.

ISO Recording for Post-Production

Want to repurpose your content for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels? The RØDECaster Video records isolated audio and video tracks for each source, so you can edit clean cuts and clips later without compromise.
