Røde and Vortex partner to enhance remote content creation

Røde has unveiled CallMe, a new feature that transforms remote content creation for the RødeCaster Pro II and RødeCaster Duo. Developed in partnership with UK-based broadcast solutions company Vortex Communications, CallMe delivers low latency, studio-quality remote connectivity through seamless integration of Vortex’s CallMe Codec capability.

Available now via a free firmware update, CallMe enables creators to connect remotely over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, without reliance on intermediary software, complex setups, or additional gear. Powered by CallMe’s secure, fully integrated SIP IP audio connectivity, users can now immediately connect to another RødeCaster Pro II or Duo. They can also connect to a guest contributor using a browser-based interface, by sending an invite via email or QR code.

“CallMe marks a groundbreaking leap forward in remote production”, says Røde CEO Damien Wilson. “By partnering with Vortex, we’ve removed constrictive technical barriers and eliminated geographic constraints entirely, to deliver broadcast-quality results for creators and professionals alike.”

Røde CallMe offers three flexible tiers, available through account.rode.com, to meet the diverse needs of content creators at every level: CallMe Lite, CallMe, and CallMe Pro.

CallMe Lite supports one remote contributor (one CallMe channel), offering up to ten hours of RødeCaster-to-RødeCaster audio calls per month along with a 5-hour trial of Web-to-RødeCaster calling.

With CallMe, creators can unlock extended capabilities, including support for two remote contributors (two CallMe channels) and unlimited RødeCaster-to-RødeCaster and Web-to-RødeCaster audio calls.

CallMe Pro unlocks advanced tools designed for professional broadcasters. In addition to all standard CallMe features, it offers multi-guest support (three CallMe Channels), a fully integrated IP audio codec with third-party interoperability, and advanced SIP calling with full protocol support. Pro users also benefit from resilient multi-network streaming with external 4G/5G support, broadcast-grade codec options with adjustable jitter buffering, and flexible control via touchscreen, web UI, and CallMe Hub. A 14-day free trial is also available for the Pro tier. A one-time purchase perpetual licence is also available from Vortex and its Distributors.

Røde CallMe is now accessible through a free firmware update on the RødeCaster App for all RødeCaster Pro II and RødeCaster Duo users.
