Switch between multiple video sources with ease
The RODECaster Video Core allows you to connect up to three HDMI video sources and manage them directly within a single production workflow. Switching between cameras, presentation feeds, or other visual inputs happens instantly, making it easy to keep viewers engaged during live streams or recorded productions.
Smooth transitions such as fades, dips, and wipes add polish to your broadcast without complex editing. You can also preview each feed through multiview monitoring within the companion software, helping you prepare the next shot before switching. For creators producing interviews, tutorials, or panel discussions, this real-time control keeps your production organised and professional while reducing the need for additional switching hardware.
Design custom scenes for a dynamic broadcast
Scene creation tools let you combine multiple visual elements into a single layout. Using the companion RODECaster App, you can arrange camera feeds, graphics, overlays, and media into customised scenes tailored to your content style. Save up to five layouts and move between them instantly during a production.
This flexibility is useful when producing podcasts, livestreams, or educational content that benefits from different visual arrangements. You might use a split screen for interviews, picture-in-picture for demonstrations, or overlay graphics for branding and information. With these options ready to trigger at any moment, you maintain a smooth and organised production workflow.
Studio-grade audio built into the console
Audio plays a central role in any broadcast, and the RODECaster Video Core includes professional tools to manage it properly. Two Neutrik combo inputs support XLR microphones and quarter-inch connections for instruments or other audio sources. Each channel runs through RODE’s Revolution Preamps, designed for ultra-low noise and strong gain levels.
Once your audio is connected, integrated APHEX processing gives you detailed control over tone and clarity. Tools such as EQ, compression, noise gate, high-pass filtering, and de-essing help shape your sound. Signature effects including Aural Exciter, Big Bottom, and Compellor further refine vocal presence, helping you produce clear and balanced audio suitable for professional broadcasts.
Expand your workflow with flexible connectivity
Connectivity options make it easy to adapt the RODECaster Video Core to different production environments. Two USB-C interfaces allow simultaneous connection to computers or mobile devices, supporting flexible recording or streaming setups.
You can also connect webcams, USB microphones, or other compatible devices to expand your available sources. The console integrates with RODECaster Pro II and Duo units through RODECaster Sync, allowing shared audio mixing and expanded input and output control across devices.
