Rode RODECaster Video Core A/V Production Console

The RØDECaster Video Core delivers the powerful video and audio processing of the RØDECaster Video series in a compact, screen-free format.

It is designed for software-based operation through the free RØDECaster App or integration with a RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo using RØDECaster Sync. This makes it ideal for permanent studios, video podcasts and creators who already use a computer or dedicated audio production console.

Three Full HD HDMI inputs and a flexible USB-C video input allow switching between four video sources. Five custom scenes can combine cameras, graphics, overlays and media in picture-in-picture, split-screen and other layouts.
