Designed with game streamers in mind, the Live Gamer ULTRA S supports up to 4K60 HDR/VRR pass-through, high-frame-rate capture up to 4K60, 1440p144, 1080p240, HDR capture up to 1440p30 and ultra-wide aspect ratios, making it the ideal choice for those who want fluid, immersive gameplay capture.

Meanwhile, its 5.1-channel audio capture enhances the streaming experience with richer, more immersive sound.

Beyond the Live Gamer ULTRA S’s exceptional audiovisual quality, when paired with AVerMedia’s new software ecosystem, the workflow efficiency of game streamers will be fully enhanced. The Streaming Center enables Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) recording and 5.1-channel audio capture, ensuring smooth, tear-free gameplay footage and immersive sound. For OBS users, Streaming Center Plug (OBS plugin) provides a dedicated solution for 5.1-channel audio capture, offering greater flexibility in content creation.
