Latency? Not really, not here.

The Live Gamer BOLT continues with our previously set ultra low latency standard. When we say ultra low we mean it, less than 50ms.

Why do I only see a black screen in the software preview with no error messages? How could I fix the error message Resolution is not supported?(QR) What is HDCP and how could I fix HDCP message appear on my preview? (QR) Device is powering on with the fan, but no lights show when I update to macOS12.3(Mac Intel chip). How can I fix it? After installing the driver on my Mac, my Mac still can't recognize the GC555. How to do? How can I enable high frame rate (120p) from Xbox series X? Why do I only have left and right channels when playing 5.1 channel recording? I was wondering what the proper range setting was for the Live Gamer BOLT in OBS Studio. I noticed that the colors are washed out , how to fix it? How do I configure the RGB lightning on the GC555 Live Gamer Bolt unit? How do I know that GC555 Live Gamer Bolt is properly installed on my computer? How to Set Up GC555 in OBS Studio? The display in RECentral 4 during preview is unstable (e.g., frame drops, image distortion). What should I do? Can I record from an iOS/iPadOS/Android device using an AVerMedia capture card?
