RØDE Shrinks Its All-In-One Studio Console With RØDECaster Video S
The new RØDECaster Video S is a compact version of the company’s flagship unit that brings full video and audio control to solo creators, priced at $499.
RØDE has unveiled the RØDECaster Video S, a smaller, cheaper version of its flagship production console, built for creators who want broadcast-quality video and audio from one box. The new model, priced at $499, carries the same processing power as the flagship RØDECaster Video but in a more compact frame aimed at solo streamers and podcasters.
The Video S also runs on the same octa-core processor as the full-size model, handling multi-camera switching, audio mixing, and recording from a single control surface. It’s designed for creators who want to cut the tangle of traditional rigs without losing studio performance.
“The RØDECaster Video marked a complete paradigm shift in how creators produce video content,” said RØDE CEO Damien Wilson. “With the RØDECaster Video S, we’re delivering that same power and flexibility in a more compact and flexible format”.
Three HDMI inputs, one HDMI output, and a USB-C port let users link multiple cameras or add RØDE USB microphones. Two Neutrik combo inputs with the company’s Revolution Preamps, plus built-in Series IV wireless receivers, cover both wired and wireless audio. Each channel includes APHEX processing for EQ, compression, and cleanup on the fly.
Controls are built around a scene-based layout: buttons trigger camera angles, overlays, or chroma key backgrounds instantly. An auto-switching mode changes views based on who’s speaking, while the Inspect tool previews or adjusts inputs mid-show.

Creators can stream directly to YouTube, Twitch, or any RTMP platform over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, or output to desktop software through USB. Recordings can go straight to an external drive, with each source saved separately for editing. The free RØDE Capture app turns an iPhone into a wireless dual-camera feed, linking mobile and desktop setups without extra gear.
Built at RØDE’s Sydney plant, the Video S is a clear play for the growing independent production market — including a thriving MENA creator scene increasingly moving into professional live streaming and podcasting. Compact, direct, and self-contained, it keeps RØDE’s edge in the all-in-one studio race.

Noon And Yango Switch On Robot Deliveries In Dubai
The rollout folds autonomous couriers into noon’s rapid-delivery network as the UAE tests everyday autonomy.
Noon and Yango Group have signed an agreement to put autonomous robot deliveries into commercial use in Dubai, turning Yango’s earlier pilots into a daily service for noon Minutes orders. The launch in Sobha Hartland is the first full integration of Yango Autonomy’s electric robots with a major e-commerce network in the region, with wider deployment planned across Dubai and, later, other GCC markets.
Residents can choose a robot at checkout, track it in the app and unlock its compartment once it arrives. The hardware runs on Yango’s AI navigation and routing stack, which plans paths, avoids obstacles and yields to pedestrians. The units had already covered more than 1,500 kilometers during previous Dubai pilots, a test bed that demonstrated their ability to operate in mixed pedestrian environments and dense residential streets.
The rollout adds a contactless option to noon’s last-mile network and is positioned as extra capacity during peak periods. “Partnering with Yango Group lets us bring a future-ready delivery option straight to our customers,” said Ali Kafil-Hussain, noon’s Chief Business Officer. Noon has used Minutes to set rapid-delivery expectations in UAE cities; autonomous units now slot into that same high-frequency model.
Regulatory clearance from Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority underpins the move. The RTA authorized Yango’s robots to operate on public walkways and in neighborhoods, smoothing the shift from controlled trials to commercial work. Dubai has framed autonomous mobility as part of its smart-city buildout, and the partners lean on that agenda to accelerate integration.

For Yango, the partnership is an anchor for its autonomy platform in the Gulf. Islam Abdul Karim, Yango’s Middle East regional head, said the aim is to make autonomous delivery an “everyday, reliable service” for UAE communities. The company views operational data from early districts as the basis for scaling into more communities and, eventually, cross-border rollouts.
The move lands as Gulf retailers search for faster fulfilment and lower-emission logistics. Autonomous couriers remain a small share of last-mile delivery, but Dubai’s approvals and early usage data give the partners a clearer path to turn pilots into durable infrastructure.
