AVerMedia 4K60 Capture Card with HDMI 2.1, Low Latency, 4K144/4K120 Passthrough, Game Capture Device for PS5, PS5 Pro, Xbox, Switch, Streaming on Twitch, OBS on Mac & PC, GC553G2 Live Gamer Ultra 2.1

Over 10 years ago I started with a Easycap using Integrated graphics on a mini Acer PC and later upgraded to a Elgato HD and then switched to the Avermedia brand around 2018 and never looked back. Here's some key features why the AVerMedia Live Ultra Gamer 2.1 is the best card to date: - Video / Audio quality: When running the AverMedia Ultra 2.1 in OBS to record gameplay, if you use custom FPS settings you can record up to 144fps. I confirmed the FPS by using both VLC player and Da Vinci Resolve to monitor frames rates in the preview window. - The setup of the card was quick and easy BUT a possible major issue could be the card will only works on a USB C plugin when connecting to the PC. I tried a couple other regular USB to USB C cables and got the flashing Yellow light error from the built in RGB on the front of the capture card. Since the card can record up to 4K 144FPS a USB C 3.2 Gen 2 cable is needed to make the card work. That cable was brand new in the box. My suggestion is check your PC to make sure you have a USB C input that this card can connect too before purchase. - During a 5 hour broadcast on Twitch the card worked perfect with no dropped frames in OBS while both streaming and locally recording. I did run into an encoder overload issue when trying to record 1440p 120fps while also streaming due to limitation of my RTX 3060 so that should be another thing to keep in mind. When I tested only recording at the higher frame rates this capture card on OBS had no issues. - One other inconvenience is the Avermedia software didn't register the RBG lighting at all in the Avermedia software. To change this I had to go into Windows settings and into Dynamic lighting to change the color and pattern of the RBG. Settings pathway: (Windows Settings/Personalization/Dynamic Lighting) - There's also 2 audio ports for connecting 3.5mm audio cables to the capture card. If you have a audio mixer like the Roland Bridgecast (highly recommend) you already have access to the multi channel audio anyway. Overall the stability of the cards capture will make whatever project or stream you're working on look and sound professional with minimal effort when it comes to setup in OBS (free software most all creators use)

This is a great product that can do much more than just game capture, depending on the software you use. The video and audio quality it produces are excellent, with a clear picture and clean sound. I also really like the portability of this capture card, which makes it easy to move between setups. Overall, it’s a high-quality, versatile capture device that performs exactly as expected.

I originally bought this to capture video on the XBOX S, but am now successfully using it to capture video on the PS5. The video is captured using the Avermedia Streaming Service. The resulting videos of game play look great. By the way I do not recommend using RecCentral 4 with this card on the PS5 -- the audio is not synced with the video.

It may be the best Capture Card but it doesn’t work unless you disable HCDP

I feel this capture card absolutely deserves more love, it’s as good as the elgato 4K X with a bonus feature such as plugging your headset straight into the capture card. I do wish avermedia upgraded their software but everyone uses obs anyways. another thing they should have added which they did in their previous model is keep the micro sd slot so that gamers without a laptop or pc could record in full 4k 120fps or 60fps. Love how you can customize the lighting on this capture card. recording in 1080p 60fps is a thing of the past. this will make your vids look amazing

In general, I have no issues with the video, the image is correct in 4K, and I can use it with HDR without any problems. However, when I try to use it with OBS, the audio first produces a crackling sound. This is relatively fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting it, but what persists is that after a short period of time, the audio becomes out of sync, which is annoying when I'm capturing something or streaming. At the moment, I haven't found a solution. If this situation changes, I will update this review or feedback. * Update: I found a solution for the desynchronization in OBS. This can be fixed by adding a new audio input capture and selecting HDMI/Line In (Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 Audio) there. It is important to avoid selecting it in the properties of the capture device in OBS. With this, the audio will no longer have desynchronization issues. After that, you need to configure the advanced audio settings in OBS to ensure it works on your stream. An optional step, according to Avermedia support, is to turn off automatic VRR on the capture device (I haven't tried it). Regarding the crackling sound issue, I consulted with support, and they told me you should turn off microphone noise reduction via Nvidia Broadcast or sound software. I haven't tried it, as I solved it by disconnecting and reconnecting the capture device.

Très bon boîtier qui permet d'avoir un pass-through de haute qualité pour les consoles récentes. Par contre attention il se branche en USB-C. Dommage que le branchement casque soit à l'arrière et que le volume soit un peu faible sans modification.

Entrega muito rapida para o brasil. qualidade da placa é excelente!

I was surprised with its small size, which is a plus. The box works intuitively without the need for setup and you can get going in minutes. The RGB is in a rainbow pattern by default, but with a firmware update you can get from the company's website, I was immediately able to control the lights from the Windows interface itself without any extra software, which was incredibly convenient. It comes with an HDMI cable of good quality. The only lesser component in the package is the 3.5mm cable, which was picking up some static, but it's cheap to get a better one and once I swapped, it was giving me 100% clear sound. Recommended!

Anche se ha qualcosa in meno rispetto al live gamer ultra preferisco questo, almeno non ha la ventola di dissipazione che fa il macello notte e giorno, era sempre in funzione, questo invece è silenzioso e fa quello che deve fare
