RODE RODECaster Video Core All-in-One Production Console
The RODECaster Video Core is RĂ˜DE's most compact and versatile all-in-one production console, purpose-built for creators who demand professional results without the complexity of a full broadcast setup. Whether you're producing a video podcast, hosting a live stream, or running a studio shoot, this powerhouse device consolidates video switching, audio mixing, recording and streaming into a single, elegantly streamlined unit.
At its heart sits a high-performance octa-core CPU capable of handling video and audio simultaneously without compromise. Three full HD HDMI inputs let you connect cameras, computers and capture cards, while intelligent auto-switching technology reads audio cues to seamlessly cut between sources - no producer required. Switch between up to four video feeds and five fully customisable scenes, adding transitions, graphic overlays, picture-in-picture layouts and chroma keying directly from the intuitive RĂ˜DECaster App.
Audio is where RĂ˜DE truly shines, and the Video Core is no exception. Two studio-grade Neutrik® combo jacks paired with Revolution Preamps deliver ultra-low noise, high-gain performance for XLR microphones and instruments alike. Every channel benefits from APHEX® processing - including the legendary Aural Exciter, Big Bottom and Compellor giving your voice and sound the broadcast-quality polish your audience expects.
Modularity is built into the DNA of this device. Connect a RĂ˜DECaster Pro II or Duo via RĂ˜DECaster Sync to expand your inputs and outputs, manage audio and video from a single surface, and scale your production setup without starting from scratch. Add NDI-enabled network cameras, PTZ control, or transform your iPhone into a wireless camera using the free RĂ˜DE Capture app - all without additional hardware complexity.
Recording and streaming are equally capable. Stream directly to YouTube, Twitch or any major platform over Ethernet, while simultaneously capturing isolated recordings of every video and audio source to an external SSD for full post-production flexibility. When it's time to edit, EDL export for DaVinci Resolve automatically imports your switch points, transitions and timeline data - slashing the time spent in the edit suite.
