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.”

– Who Am I? –

Hi! My name is Tom Buck, a lifelong A/V nerd and former high school Digital Media teacher. I started this channel in 2017 as a project to share my enthusiasm for everything related to audio and video production.

It's my goal for each video to be interesting/helpful/atleastmildlyentertaining, but I'm an enthusiast and not an expert. You can take a look at my About page to know more about my background, both personally and professionally: https://himynameistom.com/about

•My channel is open and welcoming to people of all races, ages, genders, and orientations. I’m glad you’re here.
