How to use

Set up the RØDE RØDECASTERVIDEO black on your production desk or mount it within a portable rig, then connect microphones and other audio sources to the available inputs. Use the onboard routing controls to assign inputs to separate tracks and adjust mix levels for monitoring. Start multitrack recording to capture each source independently; this allows detailed editing and level balancing later in post-production. Use the built-in monitoring and mixing features during recording to verify levels and reduce the need for corrective work after the shoot.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, check input levels before recording and monitor with headphones to ensure clear capture without clipping. Record sources on separate tracks when possible to retain flexibility during editing. Use the unit’s routing and mixing features to create a usable on-set mix, but rely on multitrack recordings for final adjustments in post-production.
