I’m looking into the RØDECaster Video/S/Core mainly for the video switching/streaming side of things, but I already own a RØDECaster Duo for all my audio processing and mic inputs.

Because of that, I feel like a lot of the audio features on the Video would be redundant for me. What I really want is:

• HDMI switching
• Direct streaming to Twitch/YouTube
• Scene switching
• Maybe multiview
• Hardware encoding so my PC doesn’t take the hit
• Integration with the Duo if possible

So I’m wondering:

• Is there a version like a hypothetical “RØDECaster Video Core” that keeps the video/streaming features but removes most of the audio interface stuff?
• Are there alternatives from other brands that basically do this?
• If you already own a Duo, does the RCV/RCVS/RCVC still make sense or does it feel like paying twice for audio features?
