RØDE Launches RØDECaster Video S, a Smaller All-in-One Production Console for $499

The compact model delivers the flagship’s octa-core processing in a creator-focused form factor.

Overview

  • Preorders are open now for global shipping at $499, positioning the unit as a lower-cost alternative to the original RØDECaster Video.
  • Built on the same octa-core CPU with APHEX processing, it offers broadcast-grade performance across nine stereo audio channels.
  • The device provides three 1080p HDMI inputs, a configurable HDMI output, a multifunction USB-C port, two Neutrik combo jacks, dual Series IV wireless receivers, and Bluetooth.
  • A scene-based workflow adds four source buttons, five scene buttons, intelligent auto-switching, an Inspect preview feature, a Multiview display, a 2-inch touchscreen, and a rotary encoder.
  • Creators can stream directly over Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or USB and record to external drives with ISO options, though video is limited to 1080p as RØDE prioritizes reliability and cost.
