Røde RØDECaster Video all-in-one video and audio production console
All-in-one console for live video and audio production: it switches up to six Full HD video sources, mixes audio through studio-grade preamps and streams or records without a computer. Four HDMI inputs, two USB-C inputs for webcams and UVC devices, two built-in RØDE wireless receivers and two configurable HDMI outputs. It records the Program feed and, as ISO files, every input to a USB drive, with nine separate stereo audio tracks.
