I do instructional videos and voiceovers, pulling output from an XLR mic, a Canon R6 MK II and graphics and music tracks from my Mac.Once selected as the input source, audio output from X Streamer tracked perfectly in Logic Pro, Adobe Audition, TwistedWave, OBS, QuickTime and Final Cut Pro (and I suspect most DAW software). Using a HDMI cable, I was able to record 4K/30 R6 MK II video into OBS and Final Cut Pro. Saves time by syncing multiple sources and not having to constantly stick the camera SD in a reader.Beyond settings and firmware updates, you don't have to touch Rode's software. Rode’s free starter software—Connect (podcasts) and Unify (streaming)—are for people unwilling to invest in professional software and mainly do network gaming, streaming, etc. My advise is to buy your own production software. If you already have software, you can keep using it!I really like the small form factor of the X Streamer. Using the tripod socket, I mounted it on a Manfrotto Magic Arm next to my Mac. O placed the control surface at 90 degree angle so easy to see and inputs are along the top edge, making for fast and easy connections. I hate it when the ports face backwards…I originally plugged the X Streamer direct into a USB-C port on my Mac, but disliked the X Streamer running 24/7—has no on/off switch. My USB-C hub has individual on/off switches so plugged in the X Streamer and it worked perfectly and I can switch it off at the touch of a button. The power hub has plenty power for the X Streamer (no power adapter needed).I didn’t find many gotchas other than avoiding Rode’s software. The X Streamer works great for me as a video capture card and XLR mic input. And, surprisingly was compatible with all my normal work software. I wish it had real audio level meters—not just an illuminated dial and flashing LEDs. Being able to use USB mics seems like a missed opportunity.All in all a great combo of video capture, XLR audio and control interface. Highly recommended!

Habe vor kurzem angefangen zu streamen, habe noch nicht so viel Ahnung, aber was man damit Alles machen kann ist wirklich sehr beeindruckend.Natürlich ist der Preis vorerst abschreckend, aber Preis Leistung find ich absolut top.Kann ich nur empfehlen.

What I like about the Rode Streamer X is that it has a lot of versatility for use with your current setup with the possibility to expand your platform into whatever you choose.I use mine to stream video game content, and so far I have found a few issues, but overall, when the streamer decides to work, I love it.The first con that I would say it has is that if you leave it on and you do not turn it off when you come back to your computer and you run the software to use it again.. the Streamer X will not work as it should and it will not function properly. When that is the case, I unplug all power sources going into the streamer to make sure it turns off. Another time, I had to restart my laptop all over again which fixed the issue.The quality of the stream is really good. It is advertised 4K at 60 fps, but it only mirrors and captures whatever your THRU receiver is. 1080p = 1080p, 2060p = 2060p and so on.The use with the channels for the microphones headphones and programmable buttons I think are what makes the streamer ideal for someone that needs a video capture card but also has an audio interface for use with a microphone that requires a preamp. I personally started with a USB-C microphone in order to upgrade to XLR in the future.I honestly would not recommend that you buy this.I think that there are better options out there for the price point. This is a really expensive set up that requires somewhat of a learning curve and requires a lot of patience. When you run the unify software, you will be using a lot of ram, so keep that in mind if you are someone with limited RAM.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to get this unit to work with neither my camcorder nor my camera. It only captured my webcam. I will sell it on eBay to someone brighter than myself...

It works fine as long as you avoid their half-baked mixer software, which feels like a study in bad engineering. The other Rode software, Rode Central, is fine, and can be used to control most functions of the device. Otherwise, it's stable; I used it in production for hours at a time (OBS Studio) with no crashes or hiccups. Negligible CPU usage and power draw from host computer.It captures stereo sound from HDMI, which a lot of video capture cards do in mono only. If you have separate audio tracks at your source, the Rode will bring them into your computer properly, as separate tracks, as opposed to downmixing to mono like most other HDMI capture devices.

I've owned this product for just about 6 months now was working really well few technically issues here and there nothing I couldn't figure out. But the device stopped connecting to my PC randomly one day now it's a paper weight. the main reason I'm making this review is to let you know that this is a third party seller and for basically the same price you can get it from rodes website with 2 year warranty. I didn't realize this seller was third party so that's on me but you can do better.

I bought this device for work. Specifically to use my mirrorless camera and an XLR microphone in my Zoom meetings and presentations.The Streamer X was great in my initial testing. The audio interface was amazing. The video output looked great.However, I found myself having issues with it relatively quickly. Some of the audio devices would disappear from the list of audio options in Zoom, and the device would get stuck. I used the airhorn coming through the headphones as a quick test, and no audio would come out -- the red pad would light up, so I knew it got the signal. Once the device locked up, I'd have to disconnect and reconnect it to get it to work again. This caused a couple of additional problems: the device would lose all settings when restarted (gain, selected microphone, output volume); and it would require restarting Zoom too in order to get the audio devices to show up again. Me typing "brb" in the Zoom chat and leaving/rejoining became a common occurrence.I opened up a ticket with Rode's Support. They say they have seen reports of the device getting locked up when the computer (Mac) wakes from sleep. That tracks with my experience. However, there is another review reporting the same issue in Windows. Rode's support mentioned that they were "hoping" they could fix it with a firmware update.Ultimately, Rode offered an RMA, which would require me to send the device for investigation. That would leave me without an interface for the time being. They didn't offer a loaner or anything like that. With my return window closing, I chose to just return the device to Amazon for a refund. I may try it again if they fix the issues in the future.
