The Streamer X is the latest innovation from RØDE, designed to serve as both a game capture card and audio interface. Similar to conventional Game Capture cards on the market, the Streamer X doesn't feature a dedicated power button. To power down your Streamer X when not in use, consider the following approach:
- Rather than connecting the power supply from a standard outlet, utilise the supplied super speed USB-C cable to directly connect Streamer X's USB1 port to your computer. When you power down your computer, Streamer X will also shut off as well.
Important Note for Laptop Users: When your laptop enters Sleep or Hibernation mode, Streamer X will continue to draw power from the laptop, thus remaining active. This implies that if your laptop is running on the internal battery, the Streamer X will still drain the battery in Sleep or Hibernation mode.
- You can also just disconnect the USB-C power supply cable from the Streamer X when not in use. Doing this step will not harm the Streamer X in any way.
