You can only connect the headset to your computer for streaming. **Q: How is the color on the avermedia live gamer ultra?** A: Here's a video that alternates between screen tests with the AverMedia GC553 and a $20 capture device called IPXOZO. It was recorded at 2160p and 10bit color depth with xSplit Broadcaster, although I don't know if it will recompress when updated. The 10bit color comes through beautifully on the GC553. **Q: Do you need the software to record in PC Free mode?** A: No. All you need for that feature is a Class 10 Micro SD card. Here is a link to their website about it: https://www.avermedia.com/gaming/product/game_capture/live_gamer_portable_2 **Q: Can I use this to go live with a dslr** A: Yes, you can. But I no longer recommend this product. After recording more than the MicroSD card can hold, the LGP2 has bricked my 64GB and 128GB Micro SD cards. I've tried fixing them thru Mac and Windows to no avail. So if you use this for recording any paid for projects, be aware of this issue. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buena y Facil de usar *by J***O on 1 July 2021* Después de mas de 8 meses de uso, nunca me ha fallado, incluso cuando la conecto a computadoras sin los requisitos mínimos para usarla, es portátil y de fácil uso, además de que tiene una estética adecuada y fácil de identificar ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ working well for me *by S***G on 29 March 2020* The negative reviews made me think long and hard whether to go for Avermedia live gamer mini or stick to the mainstream Elgato HD60s.

I purchased a Canon Vixia HF R800 video camera and hoped to pair it with an Elgato Camlink. However, the Camlink was impossible to find anywhere, so I settled for Live Gamer Mini. In conducting my research prior to purchase, the reviews I read on the device varied. However, my experience with this device was great. To get my stream onto the internet, I am using a Windows 10 laptop running OBS. I connected my camera to the Live Gamer Mini and the Mini to my computer. It worked flawlessly the first time. Windows recognized the device. It was not necessary to download and install any drivers. While I do not know how this device compares to others, it works great for our intended purposes. I would highly recommend this to someone who is getting started in live streaming and is looking to save some money over similar Elgato devices. ## Frequently Bought Together - AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini, 1080p60 Capture Card with HDMI Pass-Thru, Plug & Play, for OBS, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Switch, Win 11/macOS 12 (GC311) - Amazon Basics HDMI Cable, 3ft, 4K@60Hz, High-Speed 4K HDMI 2.0 Cord (18Gbps), 2160p, 48 bit, Compatible with TV/PS5/Xbox/Roku, Black - ABLEWE RCA to HDMI,AV to HDMI Converter, 1080P Mini RCA Composite CVBS Video Audio Converter Adapter Supporting PAL/NTSC for TV/PC/ PS3/ STB/Xbox VHS/VCR/Blue-Ray DVD Players --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/264173037-live-gamer-mini-1080p60-capture-card-with-hdmi-pass-thru](https://www.desertcart.us/products/264173037-live-gamer-mini-1080p60-capture-card-with-hdmi-pass-thru) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
