The AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt is a Thunderbolt 3 external capture card designed for high-quality video recording and live streaming from gaming consoles like PS5, PS4 Pro, and Xbox Series X/S. It supports 4K60 HDR10 and 1080p@240fps recording with low latency, making it ideal for content creators who demand professional-grade video quality. The device is compatible with both Windows 11 and macOS 10.15 but does not work with Apple M1 or M2 chips. It also supports 7.1 surround sound passthrough for an immersive audio experience during gameplay.
The capture card uses Thunderbolt 3 technology for fast and stable data transfer, ensuring smooth performance when capturing high-resolution video. It is not compatible with USB Type-C or older USB versions, so users must have a native Thunderbolt 3 port on their device. The card can be used with popular streaming software like OBS, Streamlabs, and XSplit, allowing creators to easily integrate it into their workflow. However, it requires specific hardware configurations on both Mac and Windows systems to function properly.
The Live Gamer Bolt is compact and designed for external use, making it easy to set up and transport. It includes a Thunderbolt 3 cable for connectivity but does not come with additional accessories like microphones or capture software. Users need to ensure their system meets the minimum requirements, which vary depending on whether they are recording in 4K60 HDR or 1080p@240fps. For Mac users, the device works only on Intel-based models running macOS High Sierra or later.
The card is best suited for gamers and content creators who want to stream or record high-frame-rate gameplay without compromising on quality. It allows for real-time viewing of gameplay while recording, which is useful for live events or tutorials. However, it has limitations such as not supporting Apple Silicon platforms and requiring specific graphics cards and processors for optimal performance.
