This is exactly what I've been waiting for as one of many people who've gone with an actual camera instead of a webcam and wants to do occasional console streams. The price is incredibly reasonable for what it does. Really appreciate the detail you went into with this and will likely be picking this up as soon as I can afford to. I've been fond of AVerMedia's capture cards. I do wish they'd support odd and higher resolutions better, but for what I do, it isn't a big deal yet as I don't do dual PC streaming/recording and likely won't be anytime soon.
This intro is so fun and I think it actually paints both yourself and us videos in a striking caricature of how we see ourselves when working on our craft
@@EposVox StarStreem must gain a pervasive character trait of always betraying and trying to overthrow his commander, and then begging to be spared at the end of the episode..
I did notice xRGB works with FULL color range set on avermedia cards but on elgato you gotta stick to partial for the colors to show up correctly. I love how every time you mentioned something (such as the UVC OBS virtual camor anything else) you immediately covered the solution. This is why your videos are top notch. You don't skip over stuff and cover so much. Thank you for your hard work!
Elgato cards don't actually support xrgb, it's emulated in the driver, basically going from nv12 to xrgb which is why. The 4k60 Pro MK2 CAN support 444/rgb but they have to release an update for it. Thanks for watching!
This is really interesting. It’s totally not what I was thinking when you first showed the two inputs. Glad you clarified that the point isn’t to plug in two systems but to use one for a camera. Great video. Idk if I’m only noticing now because I’m taking classes on editing, but your transitions are really noticeably nice to me today. I really like the music in the back to. Do you mind if I ask what the db balance is between your voice and music are?
Not gonna lie but you're the best dude! Trying to figure all this stuff out with the meager information through google is just so hard but here you are compiling it all into an easy to watch video. Thank you so much for going out of your way to do this for the majority of consumer cards legit. :)
There is a good chance I was one of the first 10 orders for these off of AVerMedia's site when it went live just now. I've been looking for a solution other than the Cantlinks (which are dope, but...). Glad to see this!
Are you able to set the passtheough resolution? I'm trying to find a card I can input in 1440p 120/240 but then out put the signal in 1080p 60 to a hdmi live switcher 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Just to clarify, if I have a triple pc set up (wife’s pc / my pc) I can set them up into our dedicated stream pc with one of these bad boys right? Both running at 1080(60)
For the OSSC, have you tried setting it to 1600x1200 for 5X? For some reason the cropped 1920x1080 mode is very finicky but 1600x1200 is much more compatible for both my Avermedia Live 4K and USB3HDCAP. 1200p would be a much more preferable mode anyways since it displays the full resolution, though personally I specifically use 4X for 240p content since it matches 2X mode for 480p systems. Also bumping up the V.Sync threshold in Sync Options to 10.46us helps in terms of compatibility from my experience. Originally I set it to get my Neo Geo MVS board to work but it seems to have a positive side effect on other systems in terms of picking up a signal.
I have an ultrawide and when I stream with it, I push the display cap to the top of the frame and use the bottom for alerts, camera, and various other overlays with a nice background. Though I do what you do for games that pillar box. Just two different scenes.
Great video. I have one question. Can you put two Camera inputs to the card for example vlogging with 2 video DSLR or GoPro with HDMI cards or is the one input port only for game support reserved?
Would this work with a single PC streaming setup running OBS and a capture card in a server? The streaming/gaming PC runs on an old AMD HD 7850 GPU, or am I looking at the wrong product. I'm looking for a good capture card to drive me the next years I wanna be able to record in WQHD maybe at 144 Hz otherwise with passthrough for 360 Hz 1080p displays but not sure weather what I'll drive in the future looking for display manufacturs to release some products for 2021. (probably gonna replace the GPU once an actual bomb shell GPU for >350$ comes out preferably AMD not willing to pay current GPU prices). I'm also asking myself the question would that even fit. Is it low profile single slot or do we need the dremel?
Oooh playing ultrawide, centering the HUD, and broadcasting 1080p seems PERFECT. you get a periphery vision bonus, you don't have to glance too far off to the side to see the HUD, and your viewers are less likely to have their stomachs turned upside down. I actually have a massive issue watching content which has the horizontal FOV cranked way up, i have unfollowed people over that, it's only alright if your nose is pressing right against the monitor and you're a cyclops. Particularly when i tell people that their FOV is intolerable for me and they're like "LUL UR NUT A REEL GAMR THEN", but uh i can't give the streams a big monitor, or even a whole monitor for that matter. Like there are particular moderate FOVs that we've learned to read and live with regardless of scale, but normally it's supposed to work like this, that the monitor is your "window" into a game environment and the ingame FOV is the same as the FOV that the monitor takes up in the real world, and some deviation from this ideal is tolerated, but the more deviation there is, the more issues it causes. Particularly people who play racing sims know how important it is to match them, suddenly your spatial perception just works and you drive much better.
Seems like a decent piece of hardware. Comparatively cheaper than getting a standard cap card + a camlink especially with the current price hikes though I did see an Elgato 4k 60pro MK.2 for $200 on Amazon but even then this would be at least 50 bucks cheaper than those two together plus less things plugged in. My one concern is the HDMI 2.1 you mentioned, will that be an issue with capturing a console like PS5 do you think or is that really only an issue if we want to capture higher than 1080p? Oh also I was very happy you tried out some retro consoles with the retro tink as one thing i like about my current capture card is its wider resolution support but a retro tink + this would seemingly be a great pair for most retro systems.
Hi Epos. Thank you for the video. How good would this be for 2 mirrorless camera stream? Im on a 3900x single pc. I'm wondering between this and 2 elgato camlink 4's. I recently got a good deal on a 2nd sony a5100, and im gonna be buying a capture card soon. My main camera is an a6300, which is also capable of 4k30, although im usually using it at 1080p60, into an elgato camlink 4k. I would highly appreciate your opinion in this situation!
Hello. Can you tell me please if this card uses the small one pci-e slot or it needs the big pci-express like the one we use for graphics card? Thank you
thats just 30 megabyte per second the best thing you can do if you have a newer nvidia card is nvenc with CQP 18 or 19 that's already really high quality
what I mean more precisely is this... is using Discord as a source traffic tool that generates more views allowed to be used when monetization of our RU-vid channels? Similar as Facebook does, or Twitter, Reddit, etc.
If you run your Mic into your camera is it possible to use the audio it send over HDMI with RTX voice on this capture card, or would you still need to use a separate USB interface?
The 3440x1440 cropping technique that you mention I've been doing with game capture via OBS but I'm moving over to a 2 PC setup, is the Elgato HD60 S (not plus) able to do this? Or so I need to buy a new capture card as well?
So I have a CamLink 4k and an HD60S currently and mainly stream my PC games. I am looking at connecting my Switch to my HD60S to stream Switch games like XenoBlade some days. Would you recommend getting this or not spend the moneys since I have the other solutions? My Canon Rebel SL3 is going through the Camlink and the Switch would go to the HD60S.
I mean, I see no reason to spend money now if you already have a capture card for it. Especially since the Switch is only 720p/1080p so you don't need any of the 4k Passthrough features atm
@@EposVox Was kind of where I was leaning. Was mainly thinking to get rid of some cables but overall I am not sure if I should even worry about that since they are managed anyway. Appreciate it!
Very Important Question: if i own 2 nintendo switches and wanted to capture both simultaneously / puth both on one scene/screen in OBS, would that that be possible with this capture card? i wanted to stream both gameplays of me and my girlfriend in my stream, simultaneously.
Can I like plug a PS5 (HDMI1) and a Nintendo Switch (HDMI2) and get the passthrough from one of them when I use it ? Like when I use the Switch it passthrough the Switch and when I use the PS5 it passthrough the PS5 ?
One feature id like it’s a external power source for the pass trough, sometimes I don’t want to stream and just play video games, but my consoles are connected to the capture card so my pc has to be on. Atm I’m using a splitter but said splitter doesn’t support adaptive sync nor 120hz.
Sorry for the dumb comment but does this mean you can connect a 1440p 144Hz source and it will capture at 1080p 60fps? Or do you have to drop the input to 1080p 60Hz?
I'm seeing on their website that if I wanna record/stream PC gameplay, I would need 2 separate PC's, a gaming dedicated PC and a streaming dedicated PC. Is this true? Or can I record gameplay from the same computer it's installed in? Cause I cannot afford another whole-ass computer.
Capture cards provide no benefit to single PC recording. So while you don't *need* 2 PCs, there's no reason to use a capture card for the pc if only one
EposVox, Hi I am new to capture cards and youtube gaming in general and I really need some help. I do not want to stream, just to record gameplay for upload to youtube. I have ONE gaming PC and I need to know if this card will record PC gameplay from the same system it is plugged into? So Can I plug my rtx 2070 super into the AVerMedia Live Gamer duo - both plugged into the SAME pc motherboard and record the gameplay without issue and passthrough 4k60 to my TV + record my DSLR camera, all on the same system? I have windows 764bit premium, an intel 3820 processor @ 4.3ghz, rtx 2070super, gtx 980ti and a Cannon 600d EOS DSLR camera (is this compatible with the capture card?) with mini HDMI and sub outputs and I use OBS to record videos, does that work as well? Will all this work? Please help, I really want to get youtubing like a pro! Thanks!
Most capture cards releasing today are probably not going to have Windows 7 drivers. It was released long enough ago to be considered retro. There's no advantage to using a capture card for single PC streaming and it only hurts performance, so I'd just invest in a single input card for your camera.
@@EposVox Thank you for your response. Given this fact, is there a piece of hardware that I could purchase that would do this for me; record my pc gameplay and dslr camera feed at 1080p60 lossless, such as an external capture device, that could take both signals separately and downscale the gameplay signal to 1080p60 without issue for youtube videos? Or another solution, what would be your advice? Thanks again.
Lovely video Epos! Actually i bought pne after i saw this video Xd Having an issue and it is not working. Someone had pcie problema where it doesn’t recognise the capture card? Thanks ❤️
Well it can handle 144hz fine, so just need to tweak edid or it's windows fighting you. You will end up fighting similar frustrations on any card if it's windows
Hmmm I've been wondering if anyone has tried it. But can you connect 1 gpu to both inputs? Capture game at high Hz and then screen capture your 2nd display at 60hz. Both coming from the same graphics card?
I can NOT for the life of me find the latency of the GC570, live gamer HD 2, has anyone been able to test that card by any chance? been over a week now of searching the webs
192 kb/s too low and 720p too blurry. I can remember when these would have been best of the best. Monitors did get bigger and better and nice sounding speakers/cans did get more affordable. Heck, computers stay the same price (overall, pandemic not withstanding) and offer more as time goes on. Even guitars exploded. Man, time is zipping by. . . .
there was a portion of the video where u were encoding 720p and said it was blurry, I could have misheard. awesome review LOL. But yes, was 1080p60fps with pass through at higher rates.
A card with hdmi 2.1 compatibility would not be 250$ anyway. I don't see your complain. It's like to complain that a TV of 200$ doesnt have hdmi 2.1...
I mean, no, it'd be $400 like the first wave of hdmi 2.0 cards and then 250 2 years later like we just had. My complaint was that they keep coming out with cards and none are forward looking.
