Rode is today launching the Rodecaster Video S, a smaller and cheaper version
of its existing all-in-one production console. The Rodecaster Video is
targeted at professionals and environments regularly producing multi-camera
content. The S, meanwhile, is aimed at bedroom streamers, video podcasters
and other indie creators with more modest production needs. Consequently, the
focus here is on trimming down unnecessary features to get the price to a
more reasonable $500.

ItΓÇÖs easy to spot the differences by sight alone, since the hardware is
smaller than its bigger sibling. ItΓÇÖs got fewer input and scene buttons,
and is clad in plastic, rater than metal, since it probably wonΓÇÖt need to
be moved around a lot. The number of HDMI inputs/outputs drops from 4/2 on
the original to 3/1 here, and thereΓÇÖs only one multi-function USB-C port.
Similarly, thereΓÇÖs only two headphone outputs here, and youΓÇÖll only get
24GB internal storage rather than the microSD-card slot found on the
original.

The Rodecaster Video S is available to pre-order today, with units expected
to ship across December, depending on your territory.
