4K capture for streamers

The AVerMedia GC551G2 Live Gamer Extreme 3 captures gameplay at 4K30 and passes through high-refresh signals up to 1080p240 with VRR support at 1440p120 or 1080p120. It connects via USB Type-C to Type-A and includes an HDMI 2.0 cable for immediate setup.

Console gamers and content creators

This device suits console players on PS5, Xbox One X/S or Switch who want zero-latency pass-through while recording or streaming to YouTube or Twitch. Builders needing internal PCIe capture or multi-input mixing should look at a different product class.

Check your PC and display

Verify your system has a free USB port for the Type-C to Type-A connection and that your monitor or TV supports the desired pass-through resolution and refresh rate. Ensure your streaming software recognises standard UVC video devices before ordering.

Questions about this item

What HDMI cable and USB connection does the GC551G2 need to capture 4K30 video?

The box includes an HDMI 2.0 cable and a USB Type-C to Type-A cable; connect the HDMI cable from the source to the capture card and the USB cable to a host port for 4K30 capture.

Will the Live Gamer Extreme 3 pass through 1440p120 VRR from a PS5 while I capture 1080p240?

Yes, the device supports VRR pass-through at 1440p120 and can simultaneously capture at 1080p240, so the PS5 signal reaches the display without losing variable refresh rate.

How can I confirm the GC551G2 is capturing HDR pass-through correctly after setup?

Open the preview in your streaming software and verify the incoming signal shows 4K30 or 1080p240 with HDR metadata, while the pass-through monitor displays 1440p120 VRR without latency.
