The new Rodecaster Video console is a game-changer for video creators

Australian company Rode has released an all-new video production console that will empower video podcasters, broadcasters and content creators with live video switching and recording capabilities.

Rode’s new Rodecaster Video has the potential to do to video production what the Rodecaster Pro did for podcasting – make it easier and at the same time make it even more powerful and versatile.

Rode has brought together an impressive set of features that have never been seen in the same product.

And while it offers video production even more flexibility and control, the Rodecaster Video also prioritises audio quality as well.

Whether you’re a solo creator or regularly set up large video productions, the Rodecaster Video will provide an unmatched set of tools and features to take their project to the next level.

“For decades, our mission has been to empower creators with professional yet accessible audio equipment,” says Rode CEO Damien Wilson.

“Groundbreaking innovations like the Rodecaster Pro and Wireless GO have changed the way that people approach creating content across multiple categories, placing studio-grade audio solutions within the reach of today’s creators.

“With the Rodecaster Video, we are doing the same for video production. With its intuitive interface, scene-based architecture and seamless combination of professional video and audio in one compact device, it delivers unprecedented power and versatility to the next generation of content creators.

“The Rodecaster Video marks a huge step in the evolution of Rode, and a massive milestone for creator technology.”

The Rodecaster Video is available now and is priced at $1,799.
