As I said in the video we user Avermedia hardware every week for the live stream and it works great!

The video from Linus Tech Tips covers AverMedia at Computex 2013, focusing on the Live Gamer Portable and how its firmware and software updates expand its capabilities. The host explains that AverMedia hardware is already used by the channel for live streaming and local recording, highlighting the portable model as a tool to reduce load on a computer during streams. A key update is the ability to record 1080p directly to an SD card via a firmware update, a feature that previously limited users to 720p when recording to storage. The host demonstrates two primary recording modes: PC mode, which records to a computer’s hard drive or SSD, and PC-free mode, which records to an SD card. He also discusses capturing PS3 gameplay by using an AV N cable approach due to content protection restrictions, and differentiates input and output configurations with the device’s HDMI connections. The talk underscores ease of use, practical benefits for streamers and game reviewers, and why the Live Gamer Portable can simplify setups for on-the-go recording or console streaming. Viewers are invited to explore Computex content further through Linus Tech Tips’ channels and partner links, emphasizing the device’s role in reducing PC load during streaming and local recording tasks.
