My only issue with these reviews with any product reviewer is they rarely go back and tell their viewers how well they have held up. We talk about the build and try to get some idea how well they will hold up in the field. But how often does anyone come back and say it started malfunctioning or components started to fail. You did recently have a video where you said a product wasn't operating at peek performance or was no longer supported by current operating systems. However, that is proving to be very rare in product reviews on other channels. Again I'm singling you out as being different in this regard.

This paved the way for a Rodecaster Streamer Ultra (or something like that). Basically a Rodecaster Pro 2 with 3-4 4K HDMI ports built in. I’d dump my RCP2 and my ATEM Mini Pro in a heartbeat for that!

[NicholasPyers]

I agree that the Touch Pads could be improved by having buttons similar to the Elgato Stream Deck, so I can customise the icon to something meaningful... this would be useful on ALL of RODE's products that now have touch pads

I would love this for a two person setup. Something for commentating esports for a live stream. Our school runs weekly live streams for esports and it would be amazing to see basically double of what they offer for the audio side.

The only thing i would wish for is have a speaker out, either 2 XLR ports or 6, 3mm jacks to run studio speakers. That way i wouldn‘t need an additional interface when I‘m editing.
And when it comes to video, it would be awesome to have very basic color adjustments built into the unit, before it goes to OBS or anything else.

That said, it‘s an awedome little unit and I love your review for it!

I really like your channel and enjoyed this review. Your review makes me wonder if you can use the second USB-C port as an input for a webcam like the Logi Brio?

With the release of three important products like, the PodMic USB, Rodecaster Duo, and Rode Streamer X, at the same time, I'm having to concentrate on taking it all in. I suspect we will see some fascinating firmware updates for the latter two products to keep us on our toes. But, with exciting development like this, I can't help wondering what hardware the Rode Elves or working on releasing next.

I have loved everything I've owned from Rode, and their product support has always been good to me.

Rode Streamer X seems to be a Roland UVC-02 on steriods. Prettier too. Would love to see a comparison video on the two.

For me this device would massively help for video content creation - easily bring the mic and camera into one source and take one port on my computer. However where I think it falls down is for console streaming. If you need to connect a HDMI to capture the gameplay and another to capture the camera it presents a limitation. Not sure if a firmware update could allow for the through HDMI port to allow capture too in the future but it would really help. Then it's a true all-in-one streaming device.

Great review and info. Is it for me no, I am not a gamer but do co host a live stream occasionally. But I try to help people with their streaming setups a/v wise.
Love the laughing at the end, was expecting to see the hyper cardioid cape come out once you cut to that clip. Have a good and hopefully catch the live stream on Friday if I get home in time.

[TMMotivations]

Thank you for the video and all the great information. I am one of those newbies you mentioned lol I picked this up due to the “ one stop shop” product it could be. Questions. ( or video idea) Do I need to use a cloud lifter with this for the SHURE 7M7B. Also a good video could be a set up from start to finish.

[MasterOneMusic]

Amazing man! How does this new mic hold up? Cheers from lovely Colombia!

[cyberdefenseddi]

Great review 🤙👊 it’ll come in handy when I’m on the rode as well.

[alexandrosroussos]

Interesting product, few questions :
- Can the DSP FX run standalone ? without the app launched
- If I connect USB a microphone through the 2nd USB-C port, can it switch to it and set volume/mute with the front controls ?
- Can we connect an HDMI source over the 2nd USB-C port ? And then same question as with the USB mic.

[valshobbies]

Love the review! Would you happen to have a link for your recommended USB-C to USB-A cable?

[remektekmedia]

Hmm, I wonder which gives a better feature set, the RØDE Streamer X or the Atomos AtomX Cast with Ninja V? Interestingly both come from Australian companies. The Atomos provides 4 switchable HDMI inputs, whereas the RØDE gives better audio functions. Of course, you could combine them both and feed the AtomX output into the Streamer X video input. So this leaves me with 1 Question: Can we set an audio delay on the Streamer X, to achieve lip sync from a camera?

[Andrewc]

BTW there are two types of Australian football (Aussie Rules - the one you are thinking or( and Rugby League (a deritivate of UK Rugby).

As an analogy, Ones a Rodecaster Pro the Other the Ride Stream deck.

Great Channel! I'm a total nube, so I'll be watching a lot. I don't have a great grasp on what my workflow will be, which is probably why I'm so confused. I want to start doing recorded videos for ads and for a podcast (Me and Zoom participants). Will the streamer x work with a USB webcam, or will I need a new camera to actually use the StreamerX features? I was initially going to get the Rodecaster Pro with Podmic and use my webcam, but I decided to hold off until the Streamer X came out because it also does video capture. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[takaliuang]

Will wait Streamer X Pro:
2 input HDMI and 2 audio input 😊

[madd-racing]

Love the concept and agree it may not be for the current streamer but those getting to streamer this is a solid pick out of the gate. I'll hold off on this purchase, but based on Rode's R&D I would patiently wait for the next iteration of the StreamerX. I'm thinking RC Duo+Atem Mini ISO function with the RC Duo form factor. Let's call in Rode PodGoLive or Rode GoLivePro (you heard it here first!)

[danncozey]

Hey thanks for all your great videos on the StreamerX!! I was wondering how you would send mic audio from a first pc to a second pc? many thanks
