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
