Roland Bridge Cast X Audio/Video Streaming Mixer - Nearly New

Full Description

Seamless connectivity with dual PC support

The Bridge Cast X features multiple USB-C and HDMI ports, enabling you to connect all your devices effortlessly. No more repatching every time you want to switch between different activities during the day's stream. Please note that only one HDMI input can be active at a time, and seamless live switching between HDMI inputs is not supported.

For those using one PC for gaming and another for streaming and chatting, the Bridge Cast X has got you covered. The USB II port provides audio and video integration for a single-cable connection to your streaming computer. Additionally, USB I audio and HDMI ports support various connection options for a second computer, including HDMI throughput to a dedicated video monitor.

Quick and easy to setup with advanced support for video chatting

With the Bridge Cast X, you can streamline your setup by connecting a PC and two gaming consoles for seamless video and audio streaming. If you're a PlayStation 5 owner, you'll appreciate how both the USB-C and HDMI connections allow you to control chat and game audio independently.

Upgrade your webcam to a high-quality camera and connect it to an HDMI input on the Bridge Cast X for a straightforward way to chat on video. Perfect for live interviews, gameplay recaps, and Just Chatting sessions, take your video chat experience to the next level.

Professional-grade audio fidelity and streamlined mixer

When it comes to audio quality, the Bridge Cast X delivers. Connect any broadcast-quality XLR dynamic or condenser microphone without the need for external preamps or mic activators. You can even use a headset microphone via the mini headphone jack. Say goodbye to any audio limitations.

Thanks to its dual-bus audio mixer, the Bridge Cast X allows you to operate two mixes simultaneously. Independently adjust levels on a personal headphone mix while delivering a unique blend to your audience. Balance mic levels, team chats, gameplay sounds, and background music effortlessly for professional mixes that keep your viewers engaged.

Voice changer and a range of studio-grade effects

Impress your audience by transforming your voice with the onboard processing derived from Roland's famous VT voice transformers. Adjust the pitch and formant to alter your age, gender, or even sound like an alien. Explore new characters and add intrigue to your streams.

The Bridge Cast X also includes pro processing tools to enhance your chat stream. Take advantage of EQ, compression, a low-cut filter to soften pesky plosives, a de-esser to clean up harsh "S" tones, a noise suppressor to curb background distractions, and a great-sounding reverb to launch your voice into space.

Immersive virtual surround sound

Immerse yourself in virtual surround sound with 5.1 or 7.1 HDMI spatial headphones audio, backed by advanced Roland technology. Using the Bridge Cast app, you can even adjust the angles of the virtual speaker array to create your ideal surround sound experience.

The Bridge Cast X puts a powerful array of controls at your fingertips, allowing you to execute actions effortlessly without distractions. Easily manage streams in real time with the intuitive Bridge Cast X panel. Adjust your audio mix using dedicated knobs and buttons. Assign up to 30 OBS commands, sound effects, and music shortcuts to the six control pads for seamless midstream execution. Navigate pages and access additional shortcuts with the bottom row of buttons.

Gain a competitive edge by creating up to five custom Game EQ presets. Boost the volume to highlight game-critical audio cues, like enemy footsteps in a first-person shooter. Save your settings to the onboard profiles and instantly summon them with the push of a button.
