Description
The RODECaster Video S is a compact video and audio production console for creators, streamers, podcasters and small studio setups. It brings video switching and audio control into one desktop unit, so it suits users who want a central controller for live production, recording and direct output to a computer or display.
It supports four simultaneous video input feeds, with three HDMI Type-A inputs and one multi-function USB-C input for UVC video. The HDMI outputs are configurable for Preview, Program, Multiview or Inputs 1 to 4. It supports frame-rate conversion on all HDMI and USB inputs, works with 1080p streaming and output formats up to 60 fps, and includes NDI over wired Ethernet with Hx2 and Hx3 formats.
In practice, it can be used with cameras, a computer, USB video devices and network video sources in the same setup. It pairs with HDMI sources, USB-C video devices and Ethernet-connected NDI devices. In the box are the RODECaster Video S Production Console, a power supply and a SuperSpeed USB-C cable.
