For this to be of use to me, it needed to have audio controls like the Rodecaster Pro on the front of the console. I get that it's all available by the menu and in Rode Central, but if I need to adjust a level quickly and instantly, while still carrying on with the show, that's no going to work. Even the comparable Blackmagic units have the ability to select, mute and adjust level on the front, albeit with buttons (as well as in the software control panel) but this, has nothing.
Could Rode integrate the video functionalities of the Rodecaster Video into the Rodecaster Pro 2 in the next product? That would create a killer all-in-one device, combining both video and audio capabilities. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be in a rush to buy this product. It lacks many intuitive features and feels like just the beginning of a promising future for similar products.
I bought a RCV. I have come from software switchers.(Livestream Studio & Wirecast) I also have a BMD Atem mini. Transcoding video needs to be to 1080p which I use DaVinci Resolve to reformat the video from 4K. Could be done internally. Working out how to add music files isn't easy. Video I have worked through and managed to make work.( not sound yet) Screen capturing a desktop with sound is my next hurdle. Mix-minus is something we used to do with an external mixer(nice feature) We used to have an app on the network for that. Adding RTMP sources is straightforward. Be great if much of the desktop work was able to be done via NDI for ingest. Best source for setting up a RCV is a video with PhotoJoseph.
I'm really interested in the auto switching feature, but for it to be useful it would need to be able to separately address individual mic channels over on the Rodecaster Pro II. I hope it can either do that already or that will come in an update!
I have purchased a RCV and it is my favorite piece of gear!! But I have a question about 8-bit vs 10-bit. Can you explain the dos and don'ts of that when it comes to the RCV. I noticed the video quality in a few videos of some reviews looked just a tad washed out. Then I saw another video on bits. Is that because of post processing and 8-bit?
Can you show how the auto-switcher function works? I am a solo creator of a podcast an would love to get rid of editing my multi-cam recordings afterwards. How would I go about if I have two guests on instead of one? I would use my Rodecaster Pro II alongside the Rodecaster Video.
Auto-switching will definitely do the trick for your needs! You can also connect the RØDECaster Pro II directly into the RØDECaster Video to give you even more audio options 😊 we'll pass your suggestion on to our content team!
Will we be able to change HDMI out to of of the other HDMI inputs? I know right now it does program out or preview, but as a instructor where I stream to students, but also teach live being able to have my computer go into one of the HDMI inputs, but also one of those HDMI inputs go through one of the outputs so it can go back to a screen in the classroom would be extremely helpful
Not directly - in this case, we'd recommend using a HDMI splitter so that you can duplicate the signal of the computer that the classroom needs to view, while also sending another signal into the RØDECaster Video.
So... the only real value I can see for this for me right now is as an input aggregator/I-O expander (I'm a laptop user, so input constrained) for my existing Twitch setup in OBS. Is it fair to assume that this device can stream its output channel directly into a USB-C connection that I can connect to my laptop and pipe directly into OBS? Is any specific connector software required for this and is it included in the box?
Exactly right! You can send the main program feed directly into OBS when connecting the RØDECaster Video to your computer via USB-C 😊 No additional software required, though Central can give you even more control!
What does the external USB-C port actually record? Does it multi-track record all audio inputs PLUS all the video input ISOs as well all on the same SSD drive?
Any plans for a future Rodecaster Video with 2 mix engines (2 program outs)? Need to be able to send different video mixes to local audience and online audience. E.g. local audience doesn't need to see local camera feeds, but online audience does.
You can connect two transmitters to the built-in receiver. With the second kit, you can connect it via the combo jack inputs! A VXLR adaptor should do the trick - rode.com/en/accessories/adaptors-cables/vxlr
Great video guys, thanks. You mentioned some new Sony Vlogging style cameras can plug straight in via usb, can you give some models as an example so I can research for a low cost 2-3 camera setup please?

It lacks many intuitive features and feels like just the beginning of a promising future for similar products. Its design doesn’t impress me-without audio faders to directly control mic input signals, having to navigate through multiple menu layers is time-consuming and, frankly, quite frustrating.
Guys tell me can videocaster allow for more 3 shure sm7dbs since they are xlr mics or i have to use only 2 mics tell me how i can more than 2 mics on it,which type of mics and how to connect them
The RØDECaster Video has a maximum of two XLR connections, but you can also connect a RØDECaster Pro II or Duo to the switcher to give you access to more mic input options!
I do not understand why we need it. I have wireless mic PRO but I hardly ever use it as wires mic. I just record sounds and mix it in video editing software. So I could do the same thing for videos and sounds in the software. Anyway I suggest you should sell small mics with recording function instead of wireless mic. I bet you can make it cheaper for sure.
Nah. We need dedicated button not to think twice what each of a dozen buttons do in different situations. Wouldn't buy. Create dedicated buttons or do what Loopdeck and Elgato do-buttons with small displays integrated into them to change an icon on a button to illustrate its function.
Beautiful. Can’t wait to get one for my virtual productions. 🎉

How many output and dedicated output like the Atem mini does it have ?
Excellent. Mine's still on pre order. Waiting for it to arrive is a pain.

@@rodemic thank you for the reply and the info
Awesome piece of tech ❤🙌
Can confirm 🙌

E.g. local audience doesn't need to see local camera feeds, but online audience does.
We are always looking for ways we can continue to innovate! We will pass this on to our development team for their awareness 😊
@@rodemic sounds good, cheers
Can it do vertical video capture & stream? Or would the files need to be rotated?
Not directly, but you can adjust the size and dimensions using the scene builder via Central!
How can I connect 2 sets of Rode Wireless Pro (4 microphones)?
You can connect two transmitters to the built-in receiver. With the second kit, you can connect it via the combo jack inputs! A VXLR adaptor should do the trick - rode.com/en/accessories/adaptors-cables/vxlr
What is the use of these antennas on the back?
To increase stability of wireless connectivity 😊
@@rodemic thanks
Great video guys, thanks. You mentioned some new Sony Vlogging style cameras can plug straight in via usb, can you give some models as an example so I can research for a low cost 2-3 camera setup please?
Cameras such as the Sony ZV-E1, Sony FX30, Sony FX3 will work great!
I believe the frame rate it comes in on on the FX30 via USB-C is only 15fps compared to newer models like the A7CII and ZV-E1 that do 30FPS
Can it do stinger transitions
Not at this stage, but we appreciate your feedback! I'll pass this on to the team for their awareness 🙌
Q: When will viewers be able to play in 4k output on social platforms viewing on their devices...

@@rodemic thank you guys,heartbreak came in after learning Rodecaster video doesn't allow connection to sony zve10😪
zv 1 mark doesn't connect too🥲 many usb c cams don't connect
@@rodemicWill Rodecaster 1 not connect?

We need Heen to explain 😅
Honestly, on the go I rather have the YoloBox ultra
Can it run Minecraft Java? 🤔
I'm afraid we may have let this one slip away 😩
Nah. We need dedicated button not to think twice what each of a dozen buttons do in different situations. Wouldn't buy. Create dedicated buttons or do what Loopdeck and Elgato do-buttons with small displays integrated into them to change an icon on a button to illustrate its function.
Can. It. Record. ?
Yes. It. Can!
Yes!! Onto an SSD card. That is why there were talking about the dedicated USBC port 3 in ISO but I believe only 30 fps.
First comment yaaaayyy
Waste of money without 4k😂😂😂😂😂
This is glorified streamdeck 😂
