Rode Streamer X Update

I posted my Streamer X review a few months back and explained that it didn’t work, so I returned it. BUT… Rode sent me a brand new one, so I feel it’s my duty to post an update! This is not a sponsored video but the device was gifted to me.

I love the candid nature of this video & taking the time to revisit a product you originally didn't like. This is the kind of content that keeps me coming back

To remove the hiss lower the hdmi input in rode central . This will eliminate the hiss. The preamps are similar to rode-caster pro. The prob is that the hdmi input will try to use your camera’s audio input and causes the hiss

[SamuelPeiffer]

Did you figure out the 24fps choppy issue?

[rafaelteresachinchilla]

Thanks for the video. Do you still use the el gato cam link with Streamer X? I have my micro and camera connected to my computer by usb. Do you think it's better to connect them to Streamer X? My devices are Cannon M50 mark II and Blue Yeti

[kraevski]

Hey, I experienced similar connection issues with the streamer. After the update, most of the disconnection problems were resolved, but I still notice some noise when both the headset and HDMI cable are muted. It's quite frustrating, especially when working late at night; the noise is so clear and annoying. Hoping for a complete fix soon!

[chradon.]

Do you know the impedence of your IEMs? I too prefer to use IEMs and heard that the hiss is caused by using a low impedence device

[ArgoFowl]

great that they sent you a new one, but i'm noticing crazy double frames (stutters) with your footage when you are capturing through streamer x, I have the same issue, I've tried everything, seems like it's either streamer x not being able to truly capture 4K30 OR A7C has a sh*** HDMI out signal which is very possible, it's way worse than the A7SIII HDMI out. If anyone has any info I would appreciate it

[dictabeat]

I felt quite hyped about this product until I tried it. I sent mine back because when i got it, the software for Mac Os wasn't even out and when it did come out, it was in BETA phase and what's worse, I couldn't even get the unit to do a firmware update through the old RODE software they had. Companies like this can't honestly expect their customers to pay to be beta testers and then not even deliver a Minimum viable product.

Can i use that headphone jack to plug my KRK Rokit into?

[keithgoodman]

Thanks for the video. So...to be clear, you no longer need the CamLink because your Canon goes straight into the Rode Streamer X, right?

[SeverSideShow]

Thanks for the video. That was really helpful ❤❤

[samfraulino]

what sucks for me, I had two dead Rode Streamer X out of the box. I am on my third try when it comes in the mail. Both wouldn't allow me to update them.

[TC_Conner]

Hi Ms. Meredith! I hope you and your family had a great holdiay! I know about those kinds of technical frustrations (you may remember me asking you about a few of them). My "set it and forget it" system is almost as I want it. Hope to have it "perfect(??)" by the start of the new year. Speaking of the new year....A most HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your familyj and I'll be watching for all your great new content in 2024! 💜😎💜

[ObscureMics]

Super excited to binge this channel! Good stuff

[TheRockinRoundtable]

Happy you got it working. We have lots of Rode stuff and we love the brand, but the Streamer X was, and still is a disappointment for us. It just does not work. Always have to restart it, and it also keeps restarting itself. We are on the latest firmware with the Rode cable straight into the computer. We tried it on 2 different Macs and one PC. We are returning our second unit today. 😕

[Thinkingman]

Love to hear your take on the new Mackie MainStream interface

[Dylan_Hi]

i forgot who you were and i clicked on your channel, clicked videos then most popular then I saw it. How to record yours face and screen and how to export a video in imovie. Then I remembered how I even started my channel. Thank you for helping me with that and i will watch more videos that ik who you are

[FatJesusLive]

I am so glad that Rode reached out and sent you a new unit. Thats customer service! Truly you have to give them a 10 out of 10 for customer service.

[techbyfinne]

I've had nothing but problems with the Streamer X when it comes to video. Among other things changes fps, cannot deliver 4k in Quicktime on M1 Mac Mini, buggy Unify software. Have to restart constantly, settings disappear. Had no problems with the Elgato Cam Link 4K. Røde support has not been of much help, promises and promises but nothing happens. Have lots of Røde products, but this is an alpha product that was sent to the market way too early.
