Capture, Mix, and Control

From online gaming to podcasting, vlogging, and other video content, BRIDGE CAST X keeps you focused on creating rather than fussing with cables and different pieces of specialized gear. The integrated design simplifies connections and reduces clutter, while the intuitive interface lets you smoothly mix audio and control the action in the flow. And with multiple USB-C and HDMI ports,* you can connect all your devices and avoid having to repatch every time you want to change gears for the day’s stream.

*Only one HDMI input can be active at a time. Seamless live switching between the HDMI inputs is not supported.

Dual PCs

If you use one PC for gaming and another for streaming and chatting, BRIDGE CAST X has you covered. The USB II port provides audio and video integration for a single-cable connection to your streaming computer. The USB I audio and HDMI ports support a variety of connection options for a second computer, including HDMI throughput to a dedicated video monitor.

PC and Gaming Consoles

Console-to-computer setups can get messy. Streamline your rig by connecting a PC and two gaming consoles to BRIDGE CAST X for seamless video and audio streaming. If you’re a PlayStation 5 owner, you can control chat and game audio independently using both the USB-C and HDMI connections.

Video Chat

Looking for a straightforward way to chat on video? Upgrade your webcam with a high-quality camera and connect it to an HDMI input on BRIDGE CAST X—perfect for live interviews, gameplay recaps, and Just Chatting.

Professional Sound

With the advanced audio tools in BRIDGE CAST X, you’ll always support your content with the high-quality sound it deserves.

All Gain, No Pain

Great vocals start with a great microphone. Connect any broadcast-quality XLR dynamic or condenser mic to BRIDGE CAST X without the need for external preamps or mic activators. A headset mic is also supported via the mini headphone jack.

In the Mix

BRIDGE CAST X is a dual-bus audio mixer, so you can operate two mixes at once. Independently adjust levels on a personal headphone mix while delivering a unique blend to your audience. Balance mic level, team chats, gameplay sounds, and background music for pro mixes that keep viewers engaged.

Morph Your Voice

Transform your voice with onboard processing derived from Roland’s famous VT voice transformers. To take on a new character, adjust the pitch and formant to alter your age or gender—or even sound like an alien.

Broadcast Polish

BRIDGE CAST X also includes pro processing tools to enhance your chat stream, including EQ, compression, a low-cut filter to soften pesky plosives, and a de-esser that cleans up harsh “S” tones. Curb background distractions with the noise suppressor and launch your voice into space with the great-sounding reverb.

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.

A Growing Family

If you don’t need video connectivity, be sure to check out BRIDGE CAST. This sister model includes powerful BRIDGE CAST X features in an audio-focused design.

Effortless Workflow

BRIDGE CAST X puts a raft of powerful controls at your fingertips, letting you execute actions without distraction.

Control in Hand

With the intuitive BRIDGE CAST X panel, it’s easy to manage streams in real time. Adjust your audio mix with dedicated knobs and buttons. Assign up to 30 OBS commands, sound effects, and music shortcuts to the six control pads to launch them midstream. And use the bottom row of buttons to navigate pages and access additional shortcuts.

Game Time Advantage

Snag a competitive edge by creating up to five custom Game EQ presets. For example, you can boost the volume to highlight game-critical audio cues, like enemy footsteps in a first-person shooter. Once you’ve dialed in your settings, save them to onboard profiles and instantly summon them with the push of a button.

BRIDGE CAST App: Your Perfect Teammate

Dive deeper into audio mixing, signal routing, and customization with the BRIDGE CAST app. Set mic and audio parameters, configure Game EQ presets, and explore deeper features as you stream. Reassign hardware controls and recall favorite configurations for various games and audiences. You can even customize the hardware by assigning LED colors to change up the look and highlight the controls in low lighting.

* Although Roland has tested numerous configurations, and has determined that on average, a computer system similar to that described above will permit normal operation of the BRIDGE CAST X, Roland cannot guarantee that a given computer can be used satisfactorily with the BRIDGE CAST X based solely on the fact that it meets the above requirements. This is because there are too many other variables that may influence the processing environment, including differences in motherboard design and the particular combination of other devices involved.
