Live Gamer HD - Capture & Stream 1080p Gameplay

The AVerMedia Live Gamer HD is a PCIe-based game capture card designed for high-definition recording and streaming. It allows users to capture gameplay from consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, WiiU, Nintendo Switch, and NES Classic Edition, as well as from PC sources. The device uses H.264 hardware encoding to deliver 1080p resolution with ultra-low latency, ensuring minimal impact on system performance and reducing CPU usage significantly. This makes it ideal for gamers who want to record or stream without compromising their in-game experience.

The card features an HDMI pass-through function, allowing users to connect their console directly to their TV or monitor while still capturing the gameplay. It also includes a 3.5mm audio input for analog sound pass-through. The Live Gamer HD supports DirectX 10.0c or higher graphics cards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems. It comes with built-in software like RECentral, which simplifies the process of streaming to platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, and Ustream. This integration helps users share their content quickly without needing additional software.

The device includes a dedicated Hot Button for instant recording, making it easy to capture key moments during intense gameplay. It also supports TimeShift technology, which allows users to record retroactively, giving them more flexibility in editing their footage. The H.264 encoding ensures high-quality video files that are smaller in size, making them easier to store or upload. This is especially useful for gamers who frequently upload content to online platforms.

The Live Gamer HD is designed with serious gamers in mind, offering a balance between performance and ease of use. Its compact PCIe form factor makes it easy to install in most desktop PCs. The card is compatible with popular streaming software like XSplit Broadcaster, allowing users to customize their streaming setup according to their preferences. However, it requires a compatible graphics card and sufficient system resources to function optimally.
