00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,440
when limus Media Group first started I wanted to have close-ups of products in

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,320
our unboxing videos but we didn't have the resources to spend half a day

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:15,120
shooting b-roll of like a case to Overlay during a review instead my

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,960
brilliant idea was to buy a couple of capture cards and use two cameras with a

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:24,599
computer as a switcher to go between the two camera angles on the Fly this I

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,800
thought would require two camera operators but would save on editing well

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:32,239
that idea sucked and the videos we made that way sucked too but the reason I

8
00:00:30,599 --> 00:00:35,680
told this story wasn't to point out one of the many mistakes I've made as a

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:39,800
YouTuber but rather to explain why I've spent a lot of time shopping for video

10
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:46,480
capture cards over the last couple of years why I've bought a handful of them

11
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:46,480
and then why I hate them so very

12
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:56,840
much the Jazz mini phone and tablet stand from Cooler Master is now

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:01,640
available in a variety of cool colors from these great retailers click now to

14
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:05,920
learn more mostly my issue is that they just aren't userfriendly detecting the

15
00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:09,920
format of a video source and adapting it on the Fly is technology that we've had

16
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:13,400
in TVs and monitors for decades so why is it that many video capture cards

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,600
require you to manually select an input resolution and refresh rate something

18
00:01:15,159 --> 00:01:21,920
that can be surprisingly tricky to do when cameras are such koi little about

19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:26,159
how they're actually putting out outputting on top of that black Magic's

20
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,240
intensity Pro an actually fairly well-regarded card that costs a lot more

21
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:36,040
than this one here today has suffered from everything from outright refusal to

22
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:40,200
work to the random blue screen issues that we have now on the WAN Show across

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,719
a variety of os's and platforms that I've tried to get it working correctly

24
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:49,119
on and that is why I love the Aver media live gamer portable coupled with a

25
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:52,799
media's Rec Central software it's fast flexible and so easy to use that my

26
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:56,680
mother could do it if all she wanted to do was capture her gaml from the same PC

27
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:02,079
with little latency from a separate PC game console or other video device or to

28
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:06,240
an SD card for editing later okay lonus so we're a couple minutes in now and you

29
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:11,319
haven't even talked about the lgp light yet what is your point my point is that

30
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:15,879
if you just want a super easyto use portable video capture device this is

31
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:20,280
the one I would buy 7 days of the week cuz it's basically a live game

32
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:25,080
reportable with a couple fewer features it's still got the low latency HDMI pass

33
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,480
through that supports up to 1080 60p but bear in mind it records at 30 FPS Max

34
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:33,280
it's still got the handy record button on top that tells the software to start

35
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,840
capturing it's still got analog audio pass through which can be handy

36
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:42,400
sometimes and it still runs off of just a USB port with no additional power

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,560
needed but of course this solution costs

38
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:49,800
money compared to free stuff like using your CPU or GPU to do the encoding for

39
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,120
you so then why would you care well CPU encoding is not really ideal at all it

40
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:58,080
slows down your computer which if you're streaming like I don't know battle chest

41
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:02,440
or something on Twitch isn't a huge deal but if you're doing something demand in

42
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:06,159
and you don't have a crazy CPU it could legitimately impact your gaming

43
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:10,200
experience GPU encoding on the other hand is a pretty legit competitor here

44
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:15,319
for game streamers with shadowplay you can record and stream at 60 FPS and up

45
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,000
to 2560 X 1440 res there's very little

46
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:22,200
performance penalty since the graphics card is using a fairly similar type of

47
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:26,239
Hardware it's also a dedicated h264 en encoder it can record constantly so you

48
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:30,080
can go back and Capture Moments that have already passed and of course it's

49
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,400
absolutely free if you have a imported graphics card so then lonus why do we

50
00:03:32,519 --> 00:03:40,000
still care about this Hardware the answer is flexibility with this external

51
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,599
h264 capture device I can use whatever

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,200
software I want for streaming and capture whether it's the included app

53
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:49,720
OBS xsplit or whatever I can capture

54
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,519
from any non hdcp HDMI equipped device I

55
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:55,879
want whether it's a camera PC console such as a PlayStation 4 or Xbox one as

56
00:03:54,879 --> 00:04:00,920
long as you've got the appropriate firmware update for your PS4 or whatever

57
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:04,480
else and I don't have to r on the system to be booted up and GeForce experience

58
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:09,599
to cooperate with me for it to work in fact I can even record like changing

59
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:14,120
resolutions and stuff like that and it'll still manage to just sort of okay

60
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,519
it'll be like who no signal okay and then it'll figure it out and it'll keep

61
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:24,280
going these things are extremely robust and aside from all that I acknowledge

62
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,199
that not all the stuff I just said will be applicable to the average consumer

63
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:32,600
being able to use it for stuff like recording bio settings has saved us time

64
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,039
and improved the production values of our videos and we've done crazy stuff

65
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:41,639
like live broadcasting the entire presentation at NVIDIA's GTX 780 Ti

66
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:46,160
launch just by having a live gamer portable hooked up to a Wi-Fi equipped

67
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:51,479
laptop in a backpack and carrying a camera plugged in via HDMI around the

68
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,880
venue it's just a really really cool

69
00:04:51,479 --> 00:05:00,880
piece of hardware and this one is just like it just without the SD slot as well

70
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:04,199
as the analog input

71
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,280
and it's cheaper so conclusion time the

72
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:10,440
reason I agreed to do this review even though it's basically just a slightly

73
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:15,360
trim down version of a product that I've already talked about before at a lower

74
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:19,199
price is because I feel like I didn't do the original live gamer portable Justice

75
00:05:17,479 --> 00:05:23,800
last time and now that I've been using it for so long I feel like I needed to

76
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:28,120
do something to get across what a great device I think it is and whether you go

77
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,400
with the deluxe live gamer portable version or the barebones LG GP light one

78
00:05:30,479 --> 00:05:36,520
for your video capture needs be they gaming related or something else

79
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:41,280
entirely I know that you guys will be as happy as I am because unlike so many of

80
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:47,840
the other Solutions I've tried it actually just works which is all I ask
