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 screen sharing from computers and mobile devices is also supported.

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.

Engage with Viewer Comments

When livestreaming on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch, viewer comments are displayed within the AeroCaster LIVE app.

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.

One-touch Changes with Scenes

Create up to 30 scene presets with text overlays, graphics (including transparent PNG files), adjustable 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 iCloud and iPad Media Content

Create titles and display video clips, photos, and graphics with data stored in iCloud or your iPad’s local media library.

VIDEO INPUTS

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. 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.

Record Program and ISO Video

Whether livestreaming or working offline, the flexible AeroCaster system lets you easily record productions for later editing and distribution. Capture the combined program output on the iPad and isolated video feeds on each phone. Then wirelessly transfer the phone videos to the iPad and put all the files together for post-production work in the app of your choice.

Wireless Screen Sharing with Google Chrome

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 adaptors, or dongles needed.

AUDIO MIXING

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.

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.
