Roland VRC-01 AeroCaster iPad Livestreaming System

The Roland AeroCaster lets you 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 favorite 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 mobile devices, Roland’s 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.

The swiftest, simplest switcher setup

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 screensharing from computers and mobile devices is also supported.

Capture video from five sources

In addition to remote video capture from four mobile devices, you can access a fifth live video source using the camera on the iPad.

Connect with your favorite streaming platform

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.

One-touch changes with scenes

Create up to 30 scene presets with text overlays, graphics (including transparent PNG files), picture-in-picture windows or split-screen views.

Pro video effects made easy

Use cuts, cross-dissolves and wipes for smooth, real-time transitions.

Access iPad media content

Create titles and play video clips, photos and graphics from your iPad’s image library.

The camera you need is in your pocket

You don’t always need expensive DSLRs and camcorders for everyday video productions. With the AeroCaster system, you can take full advantage of the amazing cameras in the latest phones and use them as high-quality inputs for your livestream.

Easy video capture with wireless freedom

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 stabilized mobile shots from as far as your wireless network will reach.

Fine-tune all your cameras from one place

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.

Wireless screensharing with Google Chrome

AeroCaster Live also provides a simple solution for screensharing 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.

Combine amazing visuals with great sound

The AeroCaster 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.

Hear what your audience hears

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.

Stream with top audio quality

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 headphone 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.

Play your theme music

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.

Note: Some livestreaming services require subscription fees or minimum qualifications for use.

Music performances

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.

Online talk shows

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 screensharing via Google Chrome, it’s no problem to integrate charts, videos and other content into your show as needed.

Live selling

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.
