AVerMedia Technologies has just announced the launch of its brand-new Live Gamer ULTRA S (GC553Pro). This high-performance capture card has been designed for high-end game streamers looking to take their content to the next level.
Some of the key features are its high frame rate recording, with true-color RGB24 capture, and also includes native 5.1-channel surround sound. This makes the Live Gamer ULTRA S an impressive focus for those who care about stunning visuals and immersive audio.
AVerMedia also provides a software ecosystem, with Streaming Center, Streaming Center Plug (OBS plugin), and the all-new Assist Central Pro, making your setup and content creation easier than ever.
What AVerMedia Had to Say
“Game streamers today demand more than just basic capture—they need tools that bring out the best in their content,” said Michael Kuo, President and CEO of AVerMedia Technologies. “The Live Gamer ULTRA S is built to meet these expectations, offering the quality and flexibility creators need to engage their audiences like never before.”
With support for 4K60 HDR/VRR pass-through, high-frame-rate capture up to 4K60, 1440p144, 1080p240, HDR capture up to 1440p30 and ultra-wide aspect ratios, it’s ticking all the right boxes for enthusiast gamers. I love the 240hz capture, although there aren’t a lot of outlets that make that frame rate meaningful, it’s still handy to have. The ULTRA S’s RGB24 format also ensures colours are preserved, making for more accurate video capture.
