Frequently Asked Questions
Can the BRIDGE CAST X capture video from game consoles and cameras at the same time?
Yes, it has two HDMI inputs, so you can connect a gaming console and a camera simultaneously and switch or combine sources within your stream.
Does it require software drivers to function?
The BRIDGE CAST X is compatible with Windows, macOS, and iOS. It uses a hardware-based 32-bit DSP, so audio processing happens on the device itself rather than taxing your computer's CPU. Driver software may be needed for full configuration on some platforms.
What is the dual bus mixing feature?
Dual audio busses let you create two independent audio mixes — one for your own monitoring and a separate mix for your audience. This means you can hear game audio, chat, and alerts at levels comfortable for you while sending a different, optimized mix to your stream.
Can I use a professional XLR microphone with this device?
Yes, the BRIDGE CAST X includes a high-quality XLR microphone preamp with 48V phantom power, so it supports broadcast-grade condenser microphones directly without needing an external audio interface.
What are the assignable control pads used for?
The physical control pads on the unit can be mapped to trigger sound effects, royalty-free music, or other custom functions, giving you quick one-touch access during a live stream.
