AVerMedia Technologies, Inc., a leader in digital video and audio, is proud to announce the launch of the Live Gamer BOLT today. The latest addition to AVerMedia's 4K video capture lineup, the Live Gamer BOLT—shortened as the BOLT— is the world's first external video capture device to record 4K60 HDR10 and Full HD at 240 frames per second, featuring ThunderboltTM 3 connectivity. With the BOLT's ultra-low latency, award-winning aesthetics, impressive video capturing power, and RGB lighting effects, AVerMedia has set a new standard in the consumer video capture industry.

Thanks to the BOLT's innovative video capturing capabilities, content creators will be able to record HDR10 content up to 4K resolution (3840 x 2160) at 60 frames per second. For hardcore PC gamers, the BOLT can pass-through and record Full HD video at a whopping 240 frames per second. This gives PC gamers a more responsive gaming experience in addition to capturing epic slow-mo highlight footage.





The BOLT holds fast to AVerMedia's worldwide acclaimed ultra-low latency with a preview latency of less than 50 ms. Due to Intel's powerful and robust ThunderboltTM 3 connectivity, the BOLT can deliver uncompressed video capture without compromise. With a built-in video processing unit, the BOLT is capable of up-down video resolution scaling, frame rate conversion, and even HDR to SDR tone mapping on the fly without affecting CPU or GPU performance.

At the time of its launch, the Live Gamer BOLT has already received two prestigious awards:The Taiwan Excellence 2020 Award for its industry innovation, and the Red Dot Award for its outstanding and elegant design, making the BOLT a leader in both the hardware and design aspects in the industry.



Because of its small form factor and the ability to connect to an audio mixer through its 3.5 mm Line In, the BOLT allows content creators to move their setup and cover LIVE events anywhere with ease, or bring studio-like video quality to their personal online content.

"Getting similar performance [as the Live Gamer 4K] from an external capture card is mind blowing!" Said Richard Devine, Editor at Windows Central.

For those who love giving nothing but their best both at work and home and looking for the most powerful external video capture device in the market, the BOLT is here to help.

Thunderbolt 3 is a bit tonedeaf

Very tonedeaf... It's obvious it needs more bandwidth than even USB 3.2 Gen 2 can offer, but if the need was to have x4 PCIe 3.0 lanes, why not make a PCIe AIC? I know they already have one but... I just feel like Tb3 is such a small demographic

so its another one of those hdmi only things...like if you make a capture card (and yes I know it will be bulkier because of it) atleast allow it ti capture just about everything under the sun.
Why would you have to buy multiple capture cards for all those consoles and other stuff, so silly.

You can also wait for USB 4.0 to be supported by others.

=> The USB4 specification will be based on the Thunderbolt protocol that Intel has contributed to the USB Promoter Group. The new interface will use USB Type-C connectors and will maintain backwards compatibility with USB 2.0, USB 3.2, and Thunderbolt 3 interfaces.
