With support for a wide range of modern video inputs, from HDMI cameras to network sources and USB devices, the RØDECaster Video Core is built to adapt as productions grow. It also pairs seamlessly with the free RØDE Capture app, allowing creators to turn an iPhone into a high-quality dual-camera source for wireless multi-angle streaming, perfect for podcasts, interviews and solo content creation.

For the RØDECaster Video range, the updates include:

The RØDECaster Duo audio interface has also received a significant upgrade, bringing its total audio channels from seven to nine – matching the RØDECaster Pro II. Additionally, wireless inputs no longer replace Combo inputs, allowing creators to use XLR inputs and wireless receivers simultaneously for even greater flexibility.

These updates further solidify RØDE’s dedication to empowering creators with tools that adapt to their evolving needs.
