Thanks to both of your for content. but I have question of you and Cat, why this device export 1080 ??? for online stream ok, it's good for internet, but for Record export in 2024 with this much powerful cameras, why 1080 ??? pls taking about this ?????
I have watched a ton of videos on the Rodecaster Video and wasn’t going to watch yours but a lot of what you shared was not covered by others. Great job of staying squarely in your lane and providing the value your audience knows you for. I’m a fan!
Fantastic overview! This looks really great, and I'm glad to see Rode continuing to innovate, but my current gear (ATEM Mini Pro, Focusrite Vocaster Two, and Elgato HD60X) is doing just fine.
First off, great video but I am totally wondering what this product would do that my current ECamm, Stream deck and Rodecaster Pro doesn’t do. Thoughts?
Thank you, Cat, for your detailed description. A great video, you answered all my questions and helped me a lot. Thank you very much! Best regards from Munich. Rob
I agree with all the other comments. GREAT video for lots of reasons but really love your perspective on use cases. You may have convinced me. Good bye OBS? Anyway, how would one connect it to use as Virtual Camera into Zoom - would I need a 2nd monitor? I do pretty much 100 percent through Zoom with a live audience, record the live meeting then upload for replays..... I rotate between between 4 primary scenes. Would really appreciate your comment on this. Thanks
Very good to have a hardware addition, especially when you are tasked to do something in a company where you know that it will be used by all kinds of different people, so software installation is not practical, and IT has everything software related locked down. This one seems to even have space on the buttons to put stickers, so you can easily make it recognizable which buttons to press. Do the sound inputs have some way of gating, or otherwise easy muting functions? Can a USB webcam be inputted and that the audio and video stream are separately addressed?
Thanks so much Cat - this is the best video for the RØDECaster Video for trainers and presenters I appreciate your explanation of the difference between hardware and software-based approaches. I suspect two of the most obvious yet rarely mentioned benefits are if you have limited workspace on a tabletop, one device rather than two immediately creates AND with one device, one interface, you don't have extra plugs, cables and additional interface software to learn. I'm not sure if you livestream to LinkedIn or only to RUclips - if you livestream to LinkedIn that would be a video that would be helpful for the trainer & presenter community.
Thank you Cat, great overview. I have a question for you. What does a RCV do than an ATEM mini Extreme ISO does not do? Because they are around the same price point. Many thanks. 🎉🎉🎉
A great review of this product. There are many videos out now reviewing this product But this is one is great, showing how the Rodecaster Video can be used for presentations. Very clear and the results are really professional. The one major controversy that you touched on at the end is the 4K issue; for what I would do with it, solo presenting, 1060 is just great. Thanks for your efforts with this review.
Cat - this was super helpful! Really well done! I ended up ordering the Rodecaster Video the day it was announced and released, and received it two days later. Your demo on how to set up custom scenes and overlays was really helpful. Thanks so much for your efforts on this video!
Fantastic video. For Sony cameras like FX30 and FX3 cameras can you use this to livestream but at the same time record internal at 4K to the SD cards? This may appeal to clients to also have higher quality footage after the event
Can you do a video on how thsi works with Ecamm and WHY you would use it with that, Ecamm allows you to do multiple vidoes and so would be interested to see how it works with Ecamm
I think it's a little early to say how this will fit into my workflow, except I have no plans to get rid of Ecamm. Right now I'm leaning towards streamlining my inputs with the RCV (e.g. iPad, secondary cameras, etc) to reduce how many connections are going into my computer.
@@samueldickes It seems like Ecamm is the software version of the Rodecaster Video. If someone is not using Ecamm than this hardware makes sense. Generally speaking, I'm an early adopter, sometimes too early. I've mentally struggled with how to use this in my podcasts. Too bad, I could use another gadget. So I'll stick with Ecamm, and try and figure out if this offers any future advantages.
It really seems like Rode have made a product that could replace what eCamm does, but I am not seeing an option for bringing a remote guest into the production with a mix minus all working right.
I haven't tested with guests, so this is an early opinion... but I think software is currently better for remote guests. To me, this is for running a production "in the room" so-to-speak.
Hi Cat, thanks for the detailed description. The layering of shots looks relatively easy. Reminds me a lot of Livestream Studio and Wirecast. It looks to be easier to setup than an ATEM mini with much the same feature set. I guess that no-one has worked out how to use instant video replay yet. What is the audio/video delay ( in milliseconds)? For the 4K crowd, 1080p uses half of the processing power than a 4K production.
Great video - How would this work if you want to pull in the audio from a keynote slide - would it take the computer desktop and computer audio as an input?
Such an effective demo of the RCV! I didn't think this was for me, but you have me 2nd guessing myself. This feels like a hardware replacement (to a point) for OBS!
I don't think there's one right answer since both options will work (software vs hardware). It think it comes down to what you are trying to do AND how you like to work.
hi Cat, thanks so much for this great video! as a fellow eCamm Live aficionado, i’m curious as to how you think the RCV & eCamm ecosystems will integrate in your workflow. i’m guessing that the Røde Central software isn’t as powerful or customizable as eCamm, but it is nice to have all of your assets in one software. do you think you’d ever use Røde Central to fully replace eCamm (aside from this demo)?
i’m also curious about virtual inputs, such as during a webinar with multiple remote speakers. let’s say you’re producing a virtual livestream, and you host a conference call where all the speakers join. does the RCV software have any features to bring in high-quality feeds of those speakers’ video feeds (incoming from an app like Zoom or Teams)? or would you have to essentially do a screen share of their individual boxes incoming from Zoom/Teams?
It's a great question, and I'm not sure just yet. Right now I do love the idea of reducing how many inputs go into my computer since I have legitimately noticed too many camera sources can bog down Ecamm. I had an issue last year with laggy, inconsistent video, and when I connected with support, they asked me to remove any cameras I wasn't actively using from the switcher. I did, and the problem went away. (Note: this also included virtual cameras from all the software I test, too). I'll keep testing things out, but I can see a scenario where I'm using the RCV for connecting my iPad, iPhone (it also works with the HDMI adapter), and any other secondary cameras. Then use Ecamm for overlays like talking points, outlines, and showing comments on screen.
Thanks you for content. but I have question, why this device export 1080 ??? for online stream ok, it's good for internet, but for Record export in 2024 with this much powerful cameras, why 1080 ???
Great overview of this interesting device. Are you going to keep it? It seems that the Scene switching buttons unfortunately depend on a user's ability to recall (rather than recognizing) which button is connected to which scene. This is much easier on e.g. a Stream Deck where custom made icons can represent a specific scene, thus making it much easier to recognize.
It's early to know how it will fit into my productions, but it's really appealing to have secondary cameras and devices able to connect into the RCV instead of having all of them connect to the computer.
I get a "hardware replacement for OBS" in the source/scene management... it can't do everything, but offloading that to a hardware device is very appealing...
Yes why aren't all someone giving us the Prices . And why are they not sending us a money convert website or demonstrate the price into the money convert website. Remember pricing is also apart of the content too 😉😊
... I love the question "what problem are you trying to solve?" For me, the merging of Audio & Video. When I run a typical setup, I usually use a RCP 2 for audio (then have to carefully select the right cable (to avoid introducing noise) to connect the RCP 2 to the switcher (I use the Atem Extreme ISo for larger productions, the Atem mini Iso and Yolobox utra (for 4k) for smaller productions). With the introduction of the RCP Video, the Audio problem is resolved permenently. I no longer need to bring my RCP 2 to smaller jobs for better audio. Briliant!. Thanks a million for this content. I use the question at the beginning of this comment all the time to justify purchasing new equipment, to try to pull myself out of the NEAS (New Equipment Acquisition Syndrome) 😂🤣😂🤣
Hi Chuck. Stream Deck is just a set of buttons where you assign some software commands. In order to have a similar experience to Rodecaster Video you actually need some more gear like couple of Elgato CamLinks, audio interface, etc. configured with OBS. And it means that you have to use your computer processing power. IMHO, this is rather something like ATEM switcher
I think it's best to think of the buttons on the RCV as controls for the RCV only. In my case, I'm programmed my Stream Deck to switch scenes, control audio, etc, so they seem similar but Stream Decks are like a clean slate that you can program to do many things. The RCV buttons are only connected to managing the console itself.
This was a great video!! “What problem does it solve?” Great question and I love the scenes /slideshow. It was super easy to follow and understand lol I feel like I understand the RCV a lot more. Thanks for sharing.
The GAS is real! If I was starting from scratch I think this is the direction I'd go, but I'm so deeply invested in my current set up at the moment that it's hard to justify the purchase.
This can replace the Streamer X, although the Streamer X does offer 4K, so you'd lose that option. I've actually just configured my setup so the Camera goes into the Streamer X so I have it available for 4K or when I just need my camera without a production (e.g. joining a Zoom meeting). But the Streamer X has pass-through, so I'm using an HDMI cable out from the Streamer X to the RCV. I talk about it in today's livestream: ruclips.net/user/livehrtRtu0J7bQ
As someone that teaches online line multiple times per week, this is my favorite review of this product that has been released in the last week. Thank you, Cat! I'm currently using Ecamm and love it. What I don't love is the subscription model pricing (though I understand it from a business perspective). I love the idea of paying once for some hardware. The audio in this video sounds great too. Thanks again for this video!
Ordered one, just because I like your face! It solves some of my Magewell Director Mini issues, namely audio! My hope is, I can remove my StreamDeck XL, gigantic RodeCaster Pro II, and the MageWell in a cradle, as this combo takes up a lot of real estate on smaller desks when we travel. Not going to lie, subbed because you're cute! Seven scenes will not be enough for complex streams, but we use vMix on paid gigs, and the RodeCaster video still can be used to feed in 6 video feeds to a vMix input. Nice. I would love to see NDI at some point; however, again, we can always use this in conjunction with vMix to fulfill that.
Really love your perspective on this! You make it so accessible and practical. Also, those unboxing shots are 🔥
Thank you so much Tom! It was a blast doing the panel with you in NYC!

GREAT video, Cat! I can definitely see this as a supplement for live production in order to offload a lot of computer resources. Thank you!
First off, great video but I am totally wondering what this product would do that my current ECamm, Stream deck and Rodecaster Pro doesn’t do. Thoughts?
Integrate three systems into one hardware tool

4k and 4 XLR

Do the sound inputs have some way of gating, or otherwise easy muting functions? Can a USB webcam be inputted and that the audio and video stream are separately addressed?
Thanks so much Cat - this is the best video for the RØDECaster Video for trainers and presenters
I appreciate your explanation of the difference between hardware and software-based approaches.
I suspect two of the most obvious yet rarely mentioned benefits are if you have limited workspace on a tabletop, one device rather than two immediately creates AND with one device, one interface, you don't have extra plugs, cables and additional interface software to learn.

hello Cat, can you configure the cut button to do a cross dissolve instead of the hard cut?
yes, swipe, dissolve incl. how long, ect.
They have Fade, Dipe, Wipe (wipe has a few options) and you can adjust the transition timing.
Cat - thanks - i cant get my ipad to be recognized by this thing. Any idea what i am doing wrong?
What is the difference between this and an RGBlink Mini-Edge?
I'm getting a serious case of G.A.S. watching all of these Rodecaster Video demos.
Rhode had given almost all RUclipsrs to showcase this device. Almost every channel I got to lol
Cat, what place will your Rodecaster Video take in the context of eCamm live for your futur productions?
Great question, how does it fit with Ecamm

excellent video, very informative, thanks... 🎉
Before I even watch it, I'm betting that this is a very expensive video for me. 💸 Thanks Cat! 😎
I think she has stolen £1000 from my wallet 😂
I have one on pre ordered auto switching is just a game changer.
What is the trick to write on iPad and view it as kind of overlay?
Love your smile and positive vibes. Great video.
You will never get rid of your stream decks. You have too much fun building new buttons.
You are 💯 correct 😂
