🎮 AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus - 4K Pass-Through & Full HD 1080p60 USB Game Capture - Ultra Low Latency - Record, Stream & Plug & Play - Party Chat for XBOX, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch (GC513) Review

I have recommended this product to several people in the short time I have had the product, unfortunately when I bought it it was not clear whether the Live Gamer Mini really has an audio pass-through. After setting up the Gamer Mini, play with it a little and test its capabilities. I can confirm that it does NOT pass audio through, even when recording via HDMI (recording audio may be possible as it uses HDMI). Based on the simple fact that the Gamer Mini does not make any sound, I WILL NOT…

I bought this capture card to use with my 1440p gaming monitor. Back then, I was only streaming on the regular Xbox One, which couldn't go past 1080p. The card worked great back then. I recently upgraded to an Xbox One X and was looking forward to maxing out my 1440p monitor to find out that this capture card would NOT accept a 1440p signal. You can only use 1080p or 2160p (4K). They don't talk about it very well in the product description. If you're using this for 4K or 1080p, it's a very…

Wanted to record 1080P videos with OBS only, no audio recording needed. Plugged it in, Win10 installed the driver, launched OBS and just configured it as a video capture device and the image looked exactly as I saw it on the monitor. This device also records audio. Annoyingly, Win10 changed my default audio capture device (line-in on the sound card, our sound card's line is connected to it) to this device after installing the driver, and it took me a while to figure it out. Outside…

I loved this item. I really did. However, failure after two months of intermittent use is unacceptable. This thing stopped working and was causing surges on my USB ports, so I emailed the card that came with it and said PLEASE EMAIL US FIRST IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. My email was completely ignored. So I emailed them again and that too was ignored. Finally, I googled AverMedia tech support and filled out a ticket on their website. When they finally responded to me on that basis, the only thing…

As an IT professional at my church, I was asked to host a live stream during the 2020 pandemic quarantine. I bought a Canon Vixia HF R800 camcorder and was hoping to pair it with Elgato Camlink. However, I couldn't find Camlink, so I settled on the Live Gamer Mini. During my research before buying, I read various reviews about the device. However, my experience with this device is very good. To get my stream online I use a Windows 10 laptop with OBS. I connected the camera to the Live Gamer…

I have reviewed and tested about 18 different video game capture cards and this unit is one of the most reliable. I've checked so much that I have a short list that I call "My Highly Reliable Production Devices," and this device made it onto the list after recording about ten live streams with it without a single error. For me, "testing" means using the device as my main day-to-day work and using it for at least two months or more. I do not give my endorsements lightly, and when I do, it is…

I stream from PS4 to Twitch, YouTube and Facebook using Streamlabs OBS on my laptop. So far it has worked great for me. Very easy to use, basically just plug and play. The instruction manual that comes with the kit is just a picture, not a manual. I recommend Google and YouTube instructions on how to set it up (which I did). There are several guides on their website and you need to download their program to install it on your computer. You may think you need to install RECentral (their…

This device seems to have many different functions but making them work together seems full of bugs and dangers. Instructions for updating the device's firmware are vague and the text file that came with the firmware doesn't match the video on the web. It's hard to know if you're doing it right. Given that when updating the firmware it says "don't turn off device" but then to complete the update it says "turn off device" and is vague *when* it will actually complete. The "light goes out" (it…

I was looking for an external gaming device to record 2160p (3840 x 2160) videos to my XBOX ONE X and my to use a 4K monitor. Continuing recording at 1080P would be fine as 4K recordings take up much more space. I used Elgato HD60 which worked fine but only skipped 1080P videos. Unfortunately, the new Elgato 4K60 Pro is an internal desktop card and unusable for my purposes. Avio and Magwell devices are expensive and simply unknown to me in terms of performance and reliability. in the year…
