RØDECaster Sync allows a RØDECaster Video, RØDECaster Video S or RØDECaster Video Core to integrate with a RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo, creating a unified audio and video production system.
When connected, both devices share audio routing and control, giving you access to expanded inputs, outputs and hands on mixing from your RØDECaster Pro II or RØDECaster Duo.
