The Rodecaster Video combines multi input video switching with high quality audio and a ton of other features– but it all comes at a pretty high price. I think the RCV is awesome, but I also want to give it some context and see how it stacks up against legendary tools like the ATEM Mini and what the difference is between a simple switcher and a full on “production suite.”
