Overview Specifications Reviews Videos Q&A Download Awards
Where to Buy
 

The Live Gamer EXTREME 2 (LGX2), a leap forward from its predecessor the LGX, keeps its extremely fast connectivity for ultra-low latency and Full HD video capture while adding a whole new pass-through technology to support Ultra HD 4K resolution at a buttery 60 frames per second.
*Warning! GC551 Live Gamer Extreme 2 is only compatible with USB 3.0/ USB 3.1 (Gen 1) chipsets. To see if LGX 2 works on your computer, please download and run our compatibility test tool.

 

4Kp60 Pass-Through*

Why sacrifice 4K experience just to be able to broadcast Full HD gameplay? Through its integrated pass-through feature, LGX2 lets you enjoy both lag-free 4Kp60 gaming and silky-smooth 1080p60 streaming.

*HDR not supported. Pass-through above 1080p60 only supports 4Kp60 (2160p60). Does not support, 1440p, ultra-wide or high frame rate.
 

Ultra-Low Latency

Without hardware encoding process, LGX2 can capture uncompressed data and stream with near-zero latency. Now streamers with one monitor can easily play and broadcast fast-paced games without being overwhelmed by lag.

 

Your Stream. Your Style.

The LGX2’s removable lid opens up unlimited number of possibilities. Design your own covers with the bundled Cover Creator tool and show off your unique style and brand. Cover Creator is well-integrated in RECentral, you can find it here: Settings > Capture Device: Live Gamer EXTREME 2 > Create Covers.
