Expert opinion

I recently had the opportunity to try out the AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt, a 4K capture card that offers ultra low latency and high frame rate video recording capabilities. This device is designed for content creators who want to create professional quality live streaming and video recordings with ease. The Live Gamer Bolt utilizes Thunderbolt 3 technology, ensuring a more stable and smoother experience for optimized video recording. It s compatible with Windows 10/11 and macOS 10.15 operating systems, and it works with popular live streaming software like RECentral 4, OBS, Streamlabs, and XSplit.

The first thing I noticed about the Live Gamer Bolt is how easy it was to set up. With just two cables a HDMI 2.0 cable and a Thunderbolt 3 cable , I was able to get things going in no time. The installation process was also straightforward and user friendly, making it great for beginners or those without any technical knowledge. The capture card comes with a quick guide as well as a CyberLink PowerDirector 15 Product Key Card so you can start creating your own videos right away.

In terms of performance, the Live Gamer Bolt did not disappoint. It captures up to 240 fps so you can keep the motion smooth and all details crisp for professional content creation. It also provides ultra low latency recording with full HD 1080p at 240 fps in under 50 ms which is great for capturing fast paced action without any lag from game consoles such as PS4 Pro, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S. Additionally, this capture card supports 7.1 surround sound passthrough so you can enjoy an immersive audio experience while streaming or recording your gameplay.

Overall, I m really impressed with the AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt it s perfect for content creators looking for an easy to use capture card that offers high frame rate video recording at ultra low latency speeds in full HD 1080p quality with 7.1 surround sound passthrough support.
