Mixer area
Use this area to adjust the input sources assigned channels 1–4, and the respective output volumes.
You can edit the input/output settings for each bus (STREAM MIX, PERSONAL MIX).
About the buses
“Buses” refer to the destinations where the audio for each input source is sent.
There are two kinds of buses on this unit, the “STREAM MIX” bus and the “PERSONAL MIX” bus. The STREAM MIX bus can be used
for streaming settings, whereas the PERSONAL MIX bus can be used for monitoring settings. Configure each bus according to
your needs.
The audio sent to the buses is output as a mix.
* The mic audio can be output without going through a bus (meaning that the mic audio is not mixed with other audio). The
mic audio can be used for voice chats.
11. CH [1]–[4] knobs
These adjust the volume of the input sources assigned to each channel.
Set the input source from “Input source(P.30)”, accessed from the BRIDGE CAST app home screen Ó “CH.1”–”CH.4”.
12. CH 1–4 color indicators
Indicates the mute state of the channels.
These indicators light up when mute is off, and blink when mute is on.
You can change the indicator colors. Set this from “LED color sliders(P.30)”, accessed from the “HOME” tab of the BRIDGE
CAST app Ó “CH.1”– “CH.4”.
You can also make the indicators go dark when mute is on. Set this from the “SYSTEM” tab in the BRIDGE CAST app Ó “MUTE
DISPLAY(P.83)”.
13. CH 1–4 level meters
These indicate the input level for each channel. The volume is shown instead when you operate the CH [1]–[4] knobs.
You can disable the level meters so that only the volume is shown. The level meter display setting is in the menu screen of
the BRIDGE CAST app, accessed from “SYSTEM” Ó “INDICATOR TYPE(P.83)”.
14. CH 1–4 bus selection indicators
These indicators light up and go dark to indicate which bus each channel operates.

About the included USB cable
This unit includes two USB cables. The USB cable with the “POWER” tag supports USB 2.0, and the other USB cable supports USB
3.2.
* Do not use the included USB cables with any other equipment besides this unit.
1. POWER IN port (USB Type-C®)
Connect the included cable with the “POWER” tag (USB Type-C® to USB Type-C®) to an AC adaptor (commercially available)
that supports USB PD (Power Delivery). When you connect an AC adaptor that supports USB PD, the power automatically
turns on, and the POWER indicator on the top panel lights up.
Make sure to use the USB cable that’s marked with the “POWER” tag.
● Use an AC adaptor with an output of 5 V/3 A or 9 V/3 A that supports USB PD.
● You can power a smartphone (which supports USB PD Power Role Swap) that’s connected to the USB II port, if you
use a USB PD-compatible AC adaptor that supplies at least 9 V/3 A of power. The USB II PD READY indicator on the

About bus power operation
This unit can operate on bus power. You can power this unit via USB bus power when the computer to which it is connected
can supply 5 V/3 A of power. By doing so, you don't need to connect an AC adaptor that supports USB PD to the POWER IN
port.
If you can't operate this unit via bus power, if it does not operate in a stable manner or if you want to connect a mobile
device to the USB port, connect a USB PD-compatible AC adaptor to the POWER IN port.
3. USB II connection setting switch
Set this to “PC” or “MOBILE”, according to which device you connect to the USB II port.
The unit determines the state of the USB II connection setting switch when it starts up. Do not change the switch’s setting
after starting up this unit.

Connecting HDMI devices and outputting video via USB
If you want to use the HDMI THRU connector to output a video that’s input to the HDMI IN connector with a frame rate of 60 Hz
or greater, set HDMI IN CAPABILITY MODE (EDID)(P.84) to “DISPLAY THRU” or “MERGED”.
Connecting HDMI devices and outputting video
via USB
Here’s an example of how to output the game or other video signal that’s input from the HDMI IN (1, 2) connectors via USB to your
computer.
* To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any
connections.
* Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear
some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
1. Use an HDMI cable to connect your computer or gaming device to the HDMI IN 1 or 2 connector.
2. If you want to use an external display to check the video that’s input from the HDMI IN 1 or 2
connectors, connect the display (monitor) to the HDMI THRU connector.
3. When outputting a video via USB that’s input to the HDMI IN 1 or 2 connectors, connect your computer
to the USB II port.
Be sure to use only the included USB cable.
4. Press the VIDEO [HDMI IN] button to select the input video.
Press the button to toggle between 1 (HDMI IN 1) and 2 (HDMI IN 2).
5. Press the VIDEO [USB OUT] button to output the video to your computer.
The VIDEO [USB OUT] button lights up, and the video signal is output to the computer that’s connected to the USB II port.
When you press the VIDEO [USB OUT] while it is lit, a black screen is output to the computer, and the VIDEO [USB OUT]
button blinks.
Long-press the VIDEO [USB OUT] button to stop the video output to your computer. The VIDEO [USB OUT] button goes dark.

* Although Roland has tested numerous configurations, and has determined that on
average, a computer system similar to that described above will permit normal
operation of the BRIDGE CAST X, Roland cannot guarantee that a given computer can
be used satisfactorily with the BRIDGE CAST X based solely on the fact that it meets the
above requirements. This is because there are too many other variables that may
influence the processing environment, including differences in motherboard design
and the particular combination of other devices involved.
