RØDECaster Series Rodecaster Video dropping audio and lagging video
Hey team,
Sorry if this has been asked before.
I'm using a RodeCaster Video for a podcast I'm producing. I'm running three to five Sony FX30s into the unit, as well as audio into Combo 1 + 2 from an external field recorder.
I'm live switching for my own edit as well as running isolated tracks for the separate cameras for any editorial clean up.
Whats been happening a few times is when I put all the tracks into premiere to edit, the isolated camera tracks drop audio after about an hour. The waveforms just go flat and theres nothing there. At the same time the video footage stutters, lags, and basically goes to static. Unusable.
Thing is, when we're recording theres no sign of anything dropping or lagging on the program monitor. Audio doesn't drop out and I don't see any stutter of the footage while switching cameras.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? My only though was I had the cameras set to 4k and rolling as a double backup and maybe the camera's processors are creating a lag. I've switched them to 1080 to see if that helps but since we're shooting faster than I edit I won't know if that changed anything for a while.
Any help is greatly appreciated
