RØDE Launches RØDECaster Video S, a Compact All-In-One Console for Creators

Priced at $499, the compact console targets solo creators with integrated production tools.

Overview

  • Preorders are live worldwide at $499, with shipments slated to begin in December 2025.
  • The unit keeps the flagship’s octa-core processing and adds three 1080p HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, a multi-function USB-C video input, and dual internal wireless receivers.
  • Audio features include two Neutrik combo XLR inputs, nine stereo channels, and APHEX processing for EQ, compression, de-essing, and other effects.
  • Creators can stream directly to platforms over Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or USB and record to external USB/SSD with isolated tracks; iOS dual‑cam streaming is supported via the RØDE Capture app.
  • Output is limited to full HD with no 4K support, which RØDE says avoids the added power demands and cost of multi‑input 4K processing; reviewers note it may not replace Stream Deck‑style controllers for desktop app control.
