Like much of the podcasting human beings , we lovedthe Rodecaster Pro when it launched toward the end of 2018 . It ’s involve a half - XII years , but microphone maker Rode is eventually extend the user - friendly ancestry into the domain of video .
The Rodecaster Videofaces much squiffy competition than the original Pro board did . In this post - pandemic age of video - first , plenty have launched alike devices . It also has a high price tag to contend with at $ 1,119 — virtually double the Pro ’s $ 600 asking price .
Rode is look to intertwine in the same novice category it attracted with the first Pro : in effect those who are interested in upping their TV production game but not quick to commit a full pro rig .
Whereas the Pro focalise exclusively on in - soul sound recording podcasts , however , the Video casts a wider net , range from solo Twitch streamers to multi - person in - studio apartment video productions . The new model is more compendious than the original , as it ’s meant to be sat in front of a reckoner , rather than the middle of a podcasting table .
It feature a pair of Neutrik jacks with pre - ampere for XLR mics , coupled with four HDMI and two USB - C input , allowing users to alternate between video sources in real time . Audio processing , meanwhile , includes EQ , along with a compressor , gamy - pass filter , Diamond State - esser , and noise gate .
It can mechanically remind out green and spicy screen , switch audio between picture rootage , and stream to “ all major platforms ” via Wi - Fi or hardwired through Ethernet and USB . It can also record immediately to a connected extraneous tough drive .
“ For decades , our mission has been to empower God Almighty with professional yet accessible audio equipment , “ CEO Damien Wilson says in a release . “ innovative creation like the Rodecaster Pro and Wireless GO have change the agency that people go about create content across multiple family , placing studio - grade audio solvent within the range of today ’s Almighty . With the Rodecaster Video , we are doing the same for video output . ”
