AVerMedia Unveils New HDMI 2.1 Game Capture Cards at Computex 2023

AVerMedia has unveiled two new game capture cards at the Computex 2023 show that will be a part of its Live Gamer lineup, the Live Gamer ULTRA 2.1 (GC553G2) and the Live Gamer 4K 2.1 (GC575). In addition to those two, AVerMedia also showcased a wide range of products designed for content creators, businesses and embedded markets.

The main part of AVerMedia's showcase were certainly the new HDMI 2.1 game capture devices. The Live Gamer Ultra 2.1 GS553G2 offers HDMI input up to 4K at 144 HDR/VRR with 4Kp60 video capture output. It allows users to capture footage from console, mobile, iPad, DSLR or any other device, and stream it to the PC or laptop. The AVerMedia Live Gamer 4K 2.1 (GC575), which is actually the recipient of the Computex Best Choice 2023 award, is a PCIe video capture card offering zero latency with HDMI 2.1 input and passthrough and supports up to 4Kp144 resolution.
Showing that it is not all just about capture cards, AVerMedia has showcased several other products designed for content creators, including the Live Streamer MIC 350 (AM350), which is a USB microphone endorsed by audio engineering experts at Dirac and promising studio-quality audio. AVerMedia also showed its Live Streamer AX310 audio mixer/creator control center, with 6 audio tracks and a 5-inch touchscreen. For businesses, AVerMedia showcased the Mingle Bar PA511D, an all-in-one device that has a single cable that connects it to display, webcam, speakerphone, and wired network, providing an ultra-wide FoV 4K camera with AI Auto Framing and Noise Reductions, as well as a 4 m microphone pickup distance. AVerMedia is also pushing into the embedded market with new embedded AI solutions powered by NVIDIA Jetson modules and offering over-the-air upgrades, remote diagnostics, and embedded vision and video capture.

Finally! Now we just need proper affordable HDMI 2.1 splitters (not switches).

And hopefully the next generation will see internal cards using PCIe 5.0 x 1 (to match the current 3.0 x 4 'standard' used now). By then, too, we might have mind you GPUs that run five slots. ;-p

That should be the case. I have the Live Gamer Ultra and it can only capture 4K30 over 5 Gbps.

But they added VRR passthrough to this card. I have no way of testing it, though.

It's not all that great with new capture cards. There's a frustrating catch, as explained below.

It is HDMI 2.1 FRL for pass-through at 48 Gbps, but not for capture at the same bandwidth, it seems.
