If you love gaming, you’ve likely watched some gaming-related content on Twitch, YouTube, or one of many of the available platforms. With Let’s Play, guides, and again, countless other forms of gaming content being one of the biggest things online these days. But what if you wanted to stream or capture your own content? You can use software on your PC to do just that, but it adds to system latency, takes up system resources, and doesn’t always give the best quality.

Features

HDMI 2.1 Technology: 4K144 pass-through and 4K60 capture. Experience unparalleled visual excellence for pass-through and unrivalled smooth game recording on modern game consoles and PCs with HDMI 2.1, enjoying a seamless gaming and streaming experience. *A Monitor/TV that supports HDMI 2.1 (4K144) VRR HDR input is required. *Upgrade to firmware v1.0.5.5 for ultra-wide resolution 3440x1440p120 & 3440x1440p100 Hz support
HDR and VRR Support: Enjoy HDR support for vibrant, true-to-life graphics and utilize Variable Refresh Rate for tear-free, stutter-free gameplay. Both work hand-in-hand to deliver lag-free, stunning, and realistic gameplay.
Customizable RGB Lighting: Customize the RGB lighting of the Live Gamer ULTRA 2.1 using AVerMedia’s Gaming Utility Tool to match the rest of your setup and set the perfect mood for your gameplay.
Live Party Chat: Connect headset via 4 Pole 3.5mm port on GC553G2. Enjoy interactivity, and control your game/chat volume while recording for a superb gaming experience.
Next-Gen Compatibility: Capture crystal clear gameplay from PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and more on PC. Fully utilize HDMI 2.1 capabilities in live streams.

With the AverMedia Live Gamer Ultra 2.1, you get a more premium experience. You play on one system, be that your PC, Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation, and pass the HDMI through the Live Gamer. You then connect this via high-speed USB to your capture/streaming system or laptop and can capture the highest quality footage for your content creation.

What’s more, you can record in up to 4K60, while passing through signals to your monitor, so you can still game at up to 144Hz, meaning both your viewers and yourself get the best experience possible.

It’s not a cheap setup, but when you want to take your content or live streams to the next level, it’s absolutely the right way to go about it. Plus, with it being a desktop unit, it’s less restrictive than a PCIe card and well-suited for recording PC and consoles alike.
