Record, mix and control

From online gaming to podcasting, vlogging, and other video content, BRIDGE CAST X keeps you focused on creation, avoiding all the distractions that arise from cables and different dedicated devices. The integrated design simplifies connections and reduces clutter, while the intuitive interface allows you to smoothly mix audio and control the action as it unfolds. And with multiple USB-C and HDMI* ports, you can connect all your devices and avoid changing connections every time you need to switch equipment for your daily stream.

*Only one HDMI input can be active at a time. Live selection between HDMI inputs is not supported.

Dual PC

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

PC and Game Consoles

Console-to-computer setups can get complicated. Simplify your setup by connecting one PC and two game consoles to BRIDGE CAST X, for continuous video and audio streaming. If you have a PlayStation 5, you can independently control chat audio and game audio using both USB-C and HDMI connections.

Video Chat

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

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

Exceptional voices require an exceptional microphone. Connect any broadcast-quality XLR condenser or dynamic microphone to the BRIDGE CAST X, no external preamplification or mic activators needed. A headset microphone is also supported via the mini headphone jack.

BRIDGE CAST X is a dual bus audio mixer, so you can manage two mixes simultaneously. Independently adjust the levels of a personal mix for headphones, while creating a different mix for the audience. Balance microphone level, team chats, game sounds, and background music, for professional mixes that engage your audience.

Transform your voice with built-in processing, derived from Roland's famous VT voice transformers. To become a new character, adjust pitch and formant to alter your age or gender, or to transform yourself into an alien.

BRIDGE CAST X also includes professional processing tools to enhance your chat stream, including EQ, compression, a low-cut filter to smooth out plosive consonants, and a de-esser that softens harsh "S" sounds. Reduce background distractions with the noise suppressor, and launch your voice into space with exceptional quality reverb.

Immerse yourself in virtual surround sound with 5.1 or 7.1 HDMI spatial audio for headphones, supported by advanced Roland technology. Using the BRIDGE CAST app, you can even adjust the virtual speaker positions to create your ideal surround sound experience.

If you don't need video connectivity, explore the features of BRIDGE CAST. A member of the same family, this model includes powerful BRIDGE CAST X features in a design that focuses on audio.

BRIDGE CAST X provides you with a wide range of powerful controls, allowing you to perform actions without distractions.

All controls at your fingertips

Thanks to BRIDGE CAST X's intuitive 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 during streaming. And use the bottom row of buttons to navigate between pages and access additional shortcuts.

Gain a competitive advantage by creating up to five custom Game EQ presets. For example, you can emphasize volume to bring critical in-game audio cues to the forefront, such as enemy footsteps in a first-person shooter. Once you've entered your settings, save them to internal profiles and recall them instantly at the push of a button.

Dive into audio mixing, signal routing, and customization with the BRIDGE CAST app. Set microphone and audio parameters, configure Game EQ presets, and explore detailed features while streaming. Reassign hardware controls and recall preferred configurations for different games and audience types. You can even personalize the hardware by assigning LED colors, thus changing the look and highlighting controls in low light conditions.

Set the right mood with BGM CAST

Adding royalty-free background music and sound effects to your streams has never been easier, thanks to Roland's BGM Cast. Available within the BRIDGE CAST app, BGM CAST allows you to choose music according to mood and genre, or create playlists of your favorite songs for stress-free music management.
