Get rid of that tangle of video cables and wirelessly stream a multi-camera production with the AeroCaster Livestreaming System from Roland. Combining your iPad (requires iOS 14 or later) with up to four sources (iPhones or Android phones), you can create a professional live-switched streaming program to most popular streaming platforms. Take advantage of the ease of the system to stream multi-camera music performances, online talk shows, or commercial programs.

In addition to the video inputs, the AeroCaster Livestreaming System features a 3-channel mixer to adjust levels from professional audio from dynamic or condenser microphones or instruments via two combo XLR-1/4" jacks and a 3.5mm line-level input. Select from four video inputs as well as the host iPad's camera, creating picture-in-picture effects and split-screen displays.

Wireless Screen Sharing

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 adapters, or dongles needed.

Audio and Video Mixing

The hardware interface handles all your audio input and output needs with the power of a small broadcast mixer. Using simple and straightforward controls, one person can manage video switching and audio mixing—all at once—with no prior production experience required. Monitor your audio mix through headphones or connected monitor speakers, you'll know that your livestream viewers are hearing the content you're delivering.

Audio Quality

The AeroCaster hardware features two combo XLR-1/4" inputs for connecting microphones, electronic musical instruments, or a live sound console. A wide range of onboard effects allows your talent to 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 3.5mm stereo input.

AeroCaster LIVE App

From within the AeroCaster LIVE app, 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.
