Rode’s new box turns its audio mixers into video switchers.

Originally shown at CES 2026, Rode has officially announced its new $599 Rodecaster Video Core, a buttonless video switcher featuring similar connectivity to last year’s Rodecaster Video S. It can automatically switch between connected cameras by detecting who’s speaking (including iPhones connected wirelessly) or you can manually switch between sources by pairing it with the Rodecaster Pro II and Rodecaster Duo audio mixers.

<em>You can wirelessly connect two iPhones and stream video from their front and back cameras through the Rodecaster Video Core.</em>
<em>On the back you’ll find three 1080p HDMI inputs, a single HDMI output, multiple USB-C ports, and connections for audio gear like XLR mics and headphones.</em>
<em>One of the Rodecaster Video Core’s USB-C ports can be used to connect the switcher to the Rodecaster Pro II and Rodecaster Duo audio mixers.</em>
