Size: HDMI 2.1 - GC553G2 (Black)
Over 10 years ago I started with a Easycap using Integrated graphics on a mini Acer PC and later upgraded to a Elgato HD and then switched to the Avermedia brand around 2018 and never looked back. Here's some key features why the AVerMedia Live Ultra Gamer 2.1 is the best card to date: - Video / Audio quality: When running the AverMedia Ultra 2.1 in OBS to record gameplay, if you use custom FPS settings you can record up to 144fps. I confirmed the FPS by using both VLC player and Da Vinci Resolve to monitor frames rates in the preview window. - The setup of the card was quick and easy BUT a possible major issue could be the card will only works on a USB C plugin when connecting to the PC. I tried a couple other regular USB to USB C cables and got the flashing Yellow light error from the built in RGB on the front of the capture card. Since the card can record up to 4K 144FPS a USB C 3.2 Gen 2 cable is needed to make the card work. That cable was brand new in the box. My suggestion is check your PC to make sure you have a USB C input that this card can connect too before purchase. - During a 5 hour broadcast on Twitch the card worked perfect with no dropped frames in OBS while both streaming and locally recording. I did run into an encoder overload issue when trying to record 1440p 120fps while also streaming due to limitation of my RTX 3060 so that should be another thing to keep in mind. When I tested only recording at the higher frame rates this capture card on OBS had no issues. - One other inconvenience is the Avermedia software didn't register the RBG lighting at all in the Avermedia software. To change this I had to go into Windows settings and into Dynamic lighting to change the color and pattern of the RBG. Settings pathway: (Windows Settings/Personalization/Dynamic Lighting) - There's also 2 audio ports for connecting 3.5mm audio cables to the capture card. If you have a audio mixer like the Roland Bridgecast (highly recommend) you already have access to the multi channel audio anyway. Overall the stability of the cards capture will make whatever project or stream you're working on look and sound professional with minimal effort when it comes to setup in OBS (free software most all creators use)

Best of the best. Definitely recommend for streaming. Works flawlessly. Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and OBS friendly. If you can afford it, get it!

No noticeable input lag, good image quality, works on Linux as well. The proprietary software only works on windows but it does show up in Linux as a camera for OBS to grab. It will also initialize and passthrough signal without having to load a driver.

Let me start by saying the hardware is fantastic—it absolutely lives up to the hype. However, the software integration and interface are, without a doubt, the worst I’ve ever encountered. Finding their proprietary software is a challenge in itself. After scouring their website and second-guessing whether you’ve downloaded the right version, you finally fire it up, expecting to get started seamlessly. But you don’t. Instead, you’re left navigating a convoluted, illogical mess with no clear instructions on how everything connects and functions. Troubleshooting? Forget it. There’s no useful guide, and the available resources are practically worthless. YouTube tutorials can only take you so far, and after five grueling days of trial and error, I still struggled to get all aspects of the audio to work properly. To make matters worse, their RECcenter software is an absolute joke. Sometimes it worked, most of the time it didn’t. Because of this frustrating experience, I’m returning both units and switching to an Elgato 4K X instead. What a massive disappointment.

Great capture card my old one was 4k/1080 this one is 4k/4k works great for what I wanted

In general, I have no issues with the video, the image is correct in 4K, and I can use it with HDR without any problems. However, when I try to use it with OBS, the audio first produces a crackling sound. This is relatively fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting it, but what persists is that after a short period of time, the audio becomes out of sync, which is annoying when I'm capturing something or streaming. At the moment, I haven't found a solution. If this situation changes, I will update this review or feedback. * Update: I found a solution for the desynchronization in OBS. This can be fixed by adding a new audio input capture and selecting HDMI/Line In (Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 Audio) there. It is important to avoid selecting it in the properties of the capture device in OBS. With this, the audio will no longer have desynchronization issues. After that, you need to configure the advanced audio settings in OBS to ensure it works on your stream. An optional step, according to Avermedia support, is to turn off automatic VRR on the capture device (I haven't tried it). Regarding the crackling sound issue, I consulted with support, and they told me you should turn off microphone noise reduction via Nvidia Broadcast or sound software. I haven't tried it, as I solved it by disconnecting and reconnecting the capture device.

I originally bought this to capture video on the XBOX S, but am now successfully using it to capture video on the PS5. The video is captured using the Avermedia Streaming Service. The resulting videos of game play look great. By the way I do not recommend using RecCentral 4 with this card on the PS5 -- the audio is not synced with the video.
