Røde adds free NDI support to RødeCaster Video in major firmware update

Røde has released a new firmware update for the RødeCaster Video, headlined by full NDI support at no additional cost. New features include PTZ camera control, advanced keying tools, and enhanced workflow options for multi-camera, network-based video production.

NDI (Network Device Interface) enables low-latency video-over-IP streaming, allowing the RødeCaster Video to receive up to four NDI inputs and send one NDI output via Ethernet. Cameras, smartphones, and other NDI-compatible devices can be connected on the same network without dedicated video cabling.

The update also extends NDI support to the Røde Capture iOS app, enabling wireless integration of iPhones as professional, multi-angle NDI sources. Dual Cam functionality allows simultaneous streaming from both the front and rear cameras, either as separate feeds or combined views, suitable for interviews, commentary, and dynamic location shoots.

“By adding NDI at no cost, we’re giving creators the kind of network-based production power that was once reserved for high-end broadcast systems. Now, it’s accessible to anyone”, says Damien Wilson, Røde CEO. “Pair this with advanced PTZ camera control, precision keying tools, and a host of workflow enhancements, and the RødeCaster Video reaffirms itself as the most versatile production solution for creators.”

Beyond NDI, the latest RødeCaster firmware update introduces a suite of advanced creative tools and workflow upgrades:

PTZ Camera Control - Full Pan, Tilt, and Zoom control for compatible NDI cameras allowing real-time shot framing and adjustments, plus preset saving to scenes for instant recall.

Luma Key - Filter video based on brightness values to remove black backgrounds from input sources, suitable for overlaying lower thirds, titles, logos, and animations.

Key Mask - Precisely crop keying areas to remove unwanted edges, with softness and shadow controls for cleaner, more professional chroma and luma keying.

Input as an Overlay - Use any video input as a downstream key, suitable for permanent picture-in-picture or persistent graphics.

Auto Switching with RødeCaster Pro II & Duo - Link specific audio channels to camera angles for automatic switching during productions.

Rounded Corners - A visual feature now available for all scene layers and overlays.

Layer Stretch - An additional control for all scene layers and overlays to manipulate the input or graphic.

UI & Routing Enhancements - Including new grey pre-mute meters and separate mixers for HDMI and NDI outputs.

The latest RødeCaster Video firmware update is available as a free download via the RødeCaster App.
