Break free from the complicated setup and tangle of cables typically needed to connect cameras, computers, and switchers for multi-camera livestreaming. With just an iPad and a few mobile phones, the revolutionary Roland AeroCaster system will have you wirelessly switching and streaming on your favourite platform in minutes. AeroCaster makes it easy and affordable for anyone to create a wireless multi-camera setup with pro-level production quality. Leveraging the A/V power of the mobile devices that everyone carries, our breakthrough system opens up a new world of creative possibilities for any livestreaming application, from online talk shows and music performances to live commerce, remote education, and beyond.
AeroCaster is a super-powerful A/V switching system that’s incredibly versatile and easy to configure. In almost no time, you’ll be streaming multiple cameras and high-quality audio to YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, and custom RTMP channels over a Wi-Fi or 4G/5G cellular network. The AeroCaster system consists of the AeroCaster LIVE app for iPad, the AeroCaster VRC-01 hardware control surface and audio interface, and the AeroCaster Camera app for iOS and Android mobile devices. BYOD screen sharing from computers and mobile devices is also supported.
AeroCaster provides an easy wireless connection to the leading streaming platforms. And your purchase of the system gives you full access to all AeroCaster features, with no subscription fee required. In addition to remote video capture from four mobile devices, you can access a fifth live video source using the camera on the iPad. Create up to 30 scene presets with text overlays, graphics (including transparent PNG files), picture-in-picture windows, or split-screen views. Use cuts, cross-dissolves, and wipes for smooth, real-time transitions. Create titles and play video clips, photos, and graphics from your iPad’s image library.
With all-wireless connectivity, you can use readily available stationary mounts to put the phones in places where it’s difficult to use a traditional camera. And with affordable gimbal mounts, you’re able to capture stabilised mobile shots from as far as your wireless network will reach. Once mobile devices are connected to AeroCaster LIVE, you have remote access to all their advanced camera settings from within the app. Balance and match the image between different phone cameras and control settings like focus, zoom, exposure, white balance, and more. AeroCaster Live also provides a simple solution for screen sharing from computers and mobile devices. Presenters can easily connect via the Google Chrome browser over Wi-Fi, with no cables, video adaptors, or dongles needed. With the ability to monitor your audio mix through headphones or connected monitor speakers, you’ll know that your livestream viewers are hearing the content you’re delivering.
The AeroCaster hardware features two combo inputs for connecting XLR microphones, electronic musical instruments, or a live sound console. And with a wide range of onboard effects, your talent will always sound their best. The headphones jack supports a feed from a headset mic or the mic on your earbuds for a third vocal source, and you can bring in additional audio from a mobile device or music player via the 3.5 mm stereo input. From within the AeroCaster LIVE app (available March 2022), you have integrated access to media content stored on iCloud Drive. Play your opening theme to start the stream, trigger bumpers between breaks, or simply add some cool background music or sound effects whenever you like.
AeroCaster makes it easy for artists to connect with fans and build new ones with engaging multi-camera performance content. Grab shots from any angle and capture a high-quality stereo audio mix from the master console via the AeroCaster hardware. With AeroCaster, it’s never been simpler to set up and execute an online talk show or video podcast. Elevate your sound with pro broadcast mics, switch cameras among different presenters with a touch, and use the powerful onboard graphics tools to identify them with lower thirds. And with screen sharing via Google Chrome, it’s no problem to integrate charts, videos, and other content into your show as needed. Entice buyers and pump up profits by presenting your products with the production quality they deserve. Mount phones to capture the perfect hero shots and demonstration views, then switch between them live with quick screen touches. Or display studio product stills, videos, and more by accessing content in your iPad’s media library.
