Reviews

Packs a punch in a small form factor!
I've gotta give it to Rode for this one. This is an all around great video switcher for a small studio with professional quality video streaming. I currently use it for my streaming / podcasting at home and it sits right on my desk. The buttons are easily accessible and the interface is easy to learn. You can really dig into the features, but I found that it's quite limited once you start getting into technical transitions.

The transitions are very limited in terms of what you can change. There are certain 'auto switching' scenarios that you can trigger in order to, for example, play a video and auto switch to an input. The device I/O is quite extensive and offers awesome versatility with 4 HDMI inputs and USB-C inputs. The two HDMI outputs can be configured to anything that is desired from a single source to a multiview. My streams have definitely upgraded from using the normal OBS software to professional grade quality.

I can't speak too much on the audio portion of this device, as I have hardware for that portion, but I could see this being an all around solution in a pinch! I took off some points for a couple things: The device fan is very noisy. As I stated before, it's on my desk so I can hear it and it's now the noisiest device in my setup! Second is just the lack of transitions and limited scene building experience. Maybe Rode will improve upon this in future updates, but even if not, there's enough here to get you going!

Great Value, but...
I love everything about this switcher, But I can't help but mention a few things it DOESN'T have that I hope they fix in later updates.
For context, I'm using this in a live event situation where we have a projector feed, a DSM feed, and a live stream feed.

- Currently there is no way to do a screen capture. I don't know how they overlooked this feature as I consider it to be vital in any live situation.

- The software doesn't include a multi-view option for your CPU. If you want multi-view you have to use one of your 2 HDMI outputs. This is a big bummer because I like to use the second output for a DSM for stage on live events. It seems like it would be pretty easy to incorporate a multi view into the control software so I can get the HDMI out back for other uses.

- The USB-C output doesn't work with USB to HDMI adapters. It is ONLY for connecting to a laptop for streaming. Would be nice to have a 3rd output available when not streaming.

- No offline mode. without the switcher connected you have no access to the software. I would like to be able to build a show or just fiddle with the software without having the switcher connected.

- There is an audio delay option, but only on the entire mix and only through the USB connection. I would like to see the delay integrated into the audio mixer and independently on each channel.

Hopefully Rode reads reviews and takes note. If these issues were addressed this switcher would be a massive competitor...
Even more than it already is.
