## Description

Live Gamer Portable is a USB box that captures and streams your gameplay up to 1080p. Designed specifically for game lovers, this pocket-size capture device comes with on-board H.264 hardware encoder, which guarantees lower CPU usage and smaller file size even for full HD footages, not to mention the file format is extremely easy to work with for post-editing and uploading. Live Gamer Portable adopts HDMI and component connections as well as supports a wide range of resolutions, which make it applicable for both console and gaming PC. The HDMI pass-through function guarantees smooth HD gaming experience even while recording. On top of that, it can be directly connected to streaming platforms; you can even add live commentary when streaming up. From now on, sharing your legendary matches is no longer a dream.

Review: Great stand alone recorder. (a few tips for those hoping to use it with an Xbox One) - A lot of other reviews here have said it, but yes this recorder is superb for your basic gaming needs. To put it simply, if you want a device that will basically record almost any HDMI feed (provided it is not copy protected, more on that later), than this is what you want. The device itself does all the encoding, so it takes TONS of load off of your PC and it will even record onto itself using an SD card. A lot of other game capture devices out there piggy-back onto your PC processor to encode and render the video...this device DOES NOT which means it's perfect for people who want to make videos but don't have a computer that's quite powerful enough to record on its own with software without the video quality suffering greatly. It is very easy to use and anyone who is familiar with video recording will not have any troubles. The included software is NOT editing software, just FYI, but rather the software to set up how you want to record and adjust different things about how the device functions. To use this device you will also need, at minimum, the USB cable and an HDMI cable. (both of which are included) The PC Free mode lets you record directly to an SD card rather than to a PC. The capture device still has to have USB power to function, however. The downside to PC Free mode is that the device has to be configured before you use it. In other words, you have to hook it up to your PC, create a profile for PC Free Mode and adjust your settings and such, and THEN it is ready to use. Otherwise it will use a default profile which, for most people is fine, but if you have very specific needs it needs to be pre-configured before you take it with you somewhere else. So far I have used it on both my PC and Xbox One and it works like a champ. Good video quality and very good compression (1 hour of video at 1080p will turn out roughly around 4 gigs or so before editing), and the audio pass-through feature is nice for when your PC/console or whatever is not actually hooked up to an HDMI audio feed and you need the HDMI converted to 3.5mm stereo. The device does NOT have a special mic input, so if you want to record live narration you will have to do it through the computer or console you are using. When the Live Gamer is attached to a computer, you can optionally use a mic to record a separate MP3 file which I would HIGHLY recommend so that you can later adjust the volume levels in another program like Movie Maker or whatever you prefer. Now, for those hoping to use this with an Xbox One, lemme give you a few tips: 1. Make sure the Live Gamer is hooked up as close to the Xbox One as is possible, meaning that there isn't a lot of connections between the Xbox and the device. Plug the Xbox directly into the device if you can. If the HDMI feed is already going through other things like receivers or media splitters before it gets to the Live Gamer you may run into problems with the quality or functionality. 2. Xbox One automatically engages a copy-protection encoding on the HDMI feed if you run any copy-protected feeds on it (like Netflix, your TV box signal, Twitch, Hulu, etc.) Once this copy protection is engaged on your Xbox One it NEVER GOES AWAY until you completely shut down the Xbox and reboot it (hold the power button for 10 seconds until power off, then restart it). If the copy protection is active, the game capture will not work at all. So, do this hard reset to get it work properly and remember that most of the snap apps will engage the copy protect. If all you want to do it record your game, it works beautifully, but if you want to record a game AND a snap app like Netflix or any sort of other media, it will likely block the content.
Review: One of the best capture cards you can get right now - AVerMedia pulled out all the stops for this USB 2.0 capture card. The LGP is fast and convenient, even working while not actually hooked up to a PC with its SD Card capture mode, with footage recording at up to 16Mbps bitrates - but the SD card MUST be Class 10, and if you want to capture on an actual PC, the bitrate can range from livestream-quality to an impressive 60Mbps for archival-quality footage. This capture card is fast and flexible enough for nearly any user wanting to capture or livestream gameplay. Want a quick setup to record footage on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, or PC? SD Card mode makes that about as easy as it can get. Want to livestream console or PC footage? Hook it up to that one PC and stream through the 3 months of free XSplit you get in the box, or from AVerMedia's RECentral (which isn't as robust as XSplit, but it does require less CPU resources). Want to do some crazy two-PC setup where you play your super-demanding PC games on one PC at full speed with zero meddling by other software, and then send output to a second PC that's capturing or livestreaming? Well, the LGP is well-suited to be the cornerstone of a setup like that, too. AVerMedia hasn't released updated software with support for the fantastic recording and streaming program OBS yet, but it's on the way very soon. Capture formats available when using a PC are .TS and .MP4 formats using H264 compression along with AAC audio, at up to 720p 60fps or 1080p 30fps. The HDMI or component passthrough will send the video through from the capture card to your display over HDMI at up to 720p or 1080p at 60fps. (SD Card mode isn't quite as flexible as far as the recording format: just the .TS video format is allowed at a more fixed 4, 8, 12, or 16mbps bitrate - but you *can* get about 8-10 minutes of footage per GB of space on the SD card.) You can use HDMI for your PC, Wii U, or 360, while the Wii and PS3 will require the use of component (yes, gotta use component with PS3 rather than HDMI - that's Sony's fault, not AVerMedia's) and the included cables will allow you to do both recording and pass-through without any additional cable purchases. It should be pointed out that as a USB capture card, there are limitations with the LGP compared to some of the more complex internal/PCIE cards out there. Primarily this is because the capture card itself does H264 compression right on-board and sends the video to the PC in that format, rather than delivering it in an uncompressed format (this is pretty much mandated by the relatively low bandwidth of USB 2.0), so AVerMedia can't interface directly with all software in some generic format. Basically, they have to write in direct support, and right now that means XSplit, their own RECentral, and OBS soon - possibly AmaRecTV as well, from what I'm hearing. I went pretty technical for this review, but through all of this, I think you'll find that the Live Gamer Portable does an excellent job of being as easy to use as you need it, or as technical as the more serious streamers and recorders need it to be. The software set up is very easy, the RECentral application can be run in wizard-type "newbie" mode or in an advanced mode with more options, and the LED and record button directly on the unit let you know at a glance whether you're recording without having to look at the capture program's output. Streaming software like XSplit and OBS (when it does become supported) are more complex, but they have more features so you can build your knowledge of those as you go, if necessary. Overall, AVerMedia is charging a bit of a premium for this product, but because of its flexibility, reliability, and overall quality, you will know where that money went - especially if, like me, you've been disappointed with other capture cards over the last couple of years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I see it has 3.5mm audio in. Does it mix the hdmi and 3.5mm into a single file or does it record an mp3 seperately?**
A: It has an option that when you set up the setting to have it in its own file or with the video file. I do video file just so I don't have to mesh the video with audio file together.

**Q: Is there any way to record without having multiple 4gb files in pc-free mode? LGP paired with 64gb Sony SDXC formatted in FAT32.**
A: A bit too late. But it could be useful for the following customer. 
You can do that, but for maximum 32 Go.
How ? 
1. you Format to the zero your SD. 
2. You make a partition of max 32 GO. 
3. You formation this partition as FAT32 (that now is allowed on a exFat as you have max 32Go).
4. You can format the left space to NTFS or exFat32. 
Conclusion you can but any memory card more the 32 Go is kind of useless for this product.
Here are the step-by-step: https://github.com/JamsCenter/2018_01_21_AVerMediaGuide/wiki
I am going to do a video of that late in the month.
Kind regard, 
Eloi

**Q: do you need a pc next to the console or can you use sd card to move it to one place from another?**
A: Both actually. PC mode requires it to be plugged into the computer. But PC Free mode records straight to your SD card, but you will need to somehow plug the USB into something to power the device. Like an extra USB port on your Xbox or even a phone USB plug of some sort.

**Q: does this come with all the cables you need...i dont want to buy an extra hdmi**
A: It comes with an HDMI cable, USB Cord, and Component cable adapters. It doesn't come with an AC adapter for PC Free mode, but you don't have to worry about that, unless you have no space for a USB on your console.
