AVerMedia GC551G2 Live Gamer EXTREME 3-4K30 USB Capture Card with 4K60 HDR Passthrough, VRR, USB 3.2, Plug & Play, Low Latency Streaming for PS5, Xbox, OBS, Twitch, Mac, Windows 11, PC

This worked within 1 minute of setup inside of OBS twitch streaming software I was holding my breath wondering what I was in for. Heads up to the less technically inclined, you likely when lead to change video format a timer to until your hardware and software are on the same page so to speak. I'm using Windows 10 and DaVinci and OBS desktop, so far I'm very impressed with the construction and operation ease.

My review will just be covering gameplay capture from the PS5. I don’t currently stream or anything so have no experience with that. I’ve been using the Elgato HD60S+ for several years to capture my game play from the PS5. It honestly worked great and capturing 1080p 60fps worked well. I didn’t use the pass through to play directly off the capture card (I have a HDMI splitter so play direct from the PS5 on a separate monitor), but when I tried it, there was a noticeable half a second to one second lag which made playing games bad anyway. But the main thing that made me want to try something new was that Elgato has this issue where the capture card gets used by another device in Windows and doesn’t show a signal. The only way to get it to work was restarting the PC. Trust me, I tried everything, even disabling all types of devices on Windows. Apparently anything that uses audio can cause the Elgato to see it as a source and then it doesn’t connect to your console. And it doesn’t have the ability to connect to more than one source. So I went with the Avermedia and so far everything has been working great. After connecting everything it got my PS5 signal right off the bat. I also have an XLR mic setup and was able to get that working during PS5 gameplay capture without too much trouble once I figured out I needed to download the RECentral program. I originally used their streaming software which didn’t work in capturing my voice during gameplay on the PS5. I’m sure it works fine or streaming but as I mentioned, I don’t have experience in streaming yet. The quality in gameplay capture is excellent. Everything looks great in 4K and the pass through virtually has no lag that I could play it off the capture card alone with no problem. I haven’t encountered any black screens or disconnects and so far it’s been a lot better than the Elgato I’ve used for so long.

Amazing

Sfortunatamente la confezione è arrivata danneggiata. Il dispositivo di per sé funzionava bene con Recentral arrivando a 4K'30. Invece su Obs mi dava il problema di "not supported" se salivo sopra i 1080p60 (idem streamlabs). Ho fatto il reso dopo diversi tentativi. Soddisfatto invece dell'assistenza di Avermedia nel cercare di aiutarmi a risolvere le problematiche.
