I bought the AVerMedia GC551G2 specifically to share my MacBook screen through OBS and FaceTime, and it has been flawless. The passthrough stays smooth and sharp on my monitor, and the capture feed is clean and readable with crisp text, which was my biggest requirement. Setup was straightforward, it works reliably with OBS, and the overall quality feels premium. Highly recommend if you care about clear desktop text and stable performance.

Hasta el momento llevo un mes usándola y muy bien. Al principio me daba un poco ruido por el interlazado pero configurando la plaforma se corrigió a una 90%. Se ve la imagen muy bien, no altera los colores y trae su propio software entonces termina siendo un plug and play bastante decente, después de que se reinicia la máquina.

Works great with my switch to MacBook Pro on OBS. No issues.

I love this thing it's done. Great works with everything holds up perfectly very little latency. For the price, it gives you everything that you need.

I have some consoles next to my PC, and my buddies like to stream games for friends to show off new games or cool tricks and stuff. My PS4 can stream natively, but only YT and twitch. I want to stream on discord for friends. So I got this, messed with it for a while to get the setting just right in OBS. IF YOU NEED OBS HELP AND SEE THIS: 1. Add New Capture Card to your scene. It's towards the bottom of the list which is why it's hard to find 2. Once added, a pop-up will give you a preview of what the card is capturing. Take this opportunity to adjust brightness and contrast settings if you need to. 3. Leave the setting in the pop-up window default for now. The main changes won't happen here anyways 4. Setup your audio so that the capture card you added is operating as both the Output Source and Monitor. This should get the audio to come through OBS 5. Right-click the stream preview on the right side, I think it's called the Projector. You want to full screen this. 6. Play games This will allow you to play your console by using the OBS as your TV and telling the PC to give you audio console audio. There should not be any input lag or latency to worry about, as long as you are using a USB 3 port on your PC. I made a mistake one day, and the USB 2.0 introduced noticeable input lag. My only recommendation: couple this with an HDMI switch that detects the video source and automatically change the input for you. This allows multiple consoles to feed into the 1 capture card without needing to swap around HDMIs. Turns your PC into the ultimate gaming rig. Of course you can record gameplay too, but I got this for the streaming. I'm not recording badass plays for YouTube and what not. Get this thing. Best balance I could find between price and features. One of the only devices in this price range that offers 4K60fps passthru. My Consoles don't need the 4K, but that extra wiggle room inpower is what helps reassure me that this thing is more than capable of handling whatever I throw at it today.

You shouldn't have to troubleshoot once purchasing this item, unboxing it, and setting it up, to in order to find out this is only compatible with i7 or higher...greatly disappointed.

This review is for the AVerMedia GC551G2 Live Gamer Extreme 3. Update: The audio line-in has an "internal electronics pitch" noise floor, it's subtle, but it's there. See the screenshot, and that's with no audio coming in. Actually, I pulled the cable from the source and it's still there. This noise goes away when disconnecting the line-in and only using the HDMI. No!, my cables are not the problem. I may end up returning it, still have a few days to decide. Original review: Works great for retro setups! (with the help of a VGA to HDMI converter). I have great results capturing my retro PC VGA output with the following setup: PC VGA output to a Gefen VGA to HDMI Scaler, from the Scaler to the Avermedia and then to my laptop with the USB C cable. No problems using it with OBS Studio. The AverMedia has a Line-in to capture the audio from the PC. It has no synch issues at all. I returned one of those $30 "no name" capture devices because it had poor audio quality and a lot of pops anc click noises! The AverMedia is worth the extra $$!

GC550 を使っていましたが、WQHD 環境に更新したため、後継機の GC550 PLUS を入手。 GC550 PLUS は 4K (2160p) の入力には対応しているが、WQHD (1440p) の入力には非対応とかいう謎仕様であることが判明。 そこでHP上に記載してあるし確実に対応しているであろう本機を購入し、接続確認をしてみたところ、WQHD映像を無事認識。 今のところ問題なく使えています。

The software that goes with it is exclusive to Windows, making this device very cumbersome to use. It's also very slow, unstable. Most of the time it doesn't even work. Not only that, but it's the only way to get the maximum quality out of it. The device itself is hard to configure with OBS Studio and it doesn't come with a configuration that you can directly use in other recording software to instantly get the max quality. If they made a software for Linux that allows you to instantly record at max quality without crashing all the time, it would be 5/5, but right now it's very cumbersome.

Cumplió completamente con mis expectativas, es un excelente producto calidad precio

Works like a charm for 1440p 60fps recording. Plug and play on obs no external software required

Muchos prefieren elgato pero avermedia siempre me a funcionado correctamente y sin ser tan cara
