00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.440
when limus Media Group first started I wanted to have close-ups of products in

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:10.320
our unboxing videos but we didn't have the resources to spend half a day

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:15.120
shooting b-roll of like a case to Overlay during a review instead my

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:19.960
brilliant idea was to buy a couple of capture cards and use two cameras with a

00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:24.599
computer as a switcher to go between the two camera angles on the Fly this I

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:28.800
thought would require two camera operators but would save on editing well

00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:32.239
that idea sucked and the videos we made that way sucked too but the reason I

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

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:39.800
YouTuber but rather to explain why I've spent a lot of time shopping for video

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:46.480
capture cards over the last couple of years why I've bought a handful of them

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.480
and then why I hate them so very

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:56.840
much the Jazz mini phone and tablet stand from Cooler Master is now

00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:01.640
available in a variety of cool colors from these great retailers click now to

00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:05.920
learn more mostly my issue is that they just aren't userfriendly detecting the

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

00:01:07.600 --> 00:01:13.400
in TVs and monitors for decades so why is it that many video capture cards

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:17.600
require you to manually select an input resolution and refresh rate something

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:21.920
that can be surprisingly tricky to do when cameras are such koi little about

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:26.159
how they're actually putting out outputting on top of that black Magic's

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:30.240
intensity Pro an actually fairly well-regarded card that costs a lot more

00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:36.040
than this one here today has suffered from everything from outright refusal to

00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:40.200
work to the random blue screen issues that we have now on the WAN Show across

00:01:38.320 --> 00:01:44.719
a variety of os's and platforms that I've tried to get it working correctly

00:01:41.720 --> 00:01:49.119
on and that is why I love the Aver media live gamer portable coupled with a

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:52.799
media's Rec Central software it's fast flexible and so easy to use that my

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

00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:02.079
with little latency from a separate PC game console or other video device or to

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

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

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:15.879
if you just want a super easyto use portable video capture device this is

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

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:25.080
reportable with a couple fewer features it's still got the low latency HDMI pass

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

00:02:27.640 --> 00:02:33.280
it's still got the handy record button on top that tells the software to start

00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.840
capturing it's still got analog audio pass through which can be handy

00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:42.400
sometimes and it still runs off of just a USB port with no additional power

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:44.560
needed but of course this solution costs

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:49.800
money compared to free stuff like using your CPU or GPU to do the encoding for

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

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:58.080
slows down your computer which if you're streaming like I don't know battle chest

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

00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:06.159
and you don't have a crazy CPU it could legitimately impact your gaming

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.200
experience GPU encoding on the other hand is a pretty legit competitor here

00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:15.319
for game streamers with shadowplay you can record and stream at 60 FPS and up

00:03:12.200 --> 00:03:17.000
to 2560 X 1440 res there's very little

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:22.200
performance penalty since the graphics card is using a fairly similar type of

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:26.239
Hardware it's also a dedicated h264 en encoder it can record constantly so you

00:03:24.920 --> 00:03:30.080
can go back and Capture Moments that have already passed and of course it's

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:34.400
absolutely free if you have a imported graphics card so then lonus why do we

00:03:32.519 --> 00:03:40.000
still care about this Hardware the answer is flexibility with this external

00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.599
h264 capture device I can use whatever

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:46.200
software I want for streaming and capture whether it's the included app

00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:49.720
OBS xsplit or whatever I can capture

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:52.519
from any non hdcp HDMI equipped device I

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

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:00.920
long as you've got the appropriate firmware update for your PS4 or whatever

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

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:09.599
to cooperate with me for it to work in fact I can even record like changing

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:14.120
resolutions and stuff like that and it'll still manage to just sort of okay

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

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:24.280
going these things are extremely robust and aside from all that I acknowledge

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:28.199
that not all the stuff I just said will be applicable to the average consumer

00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:32.600
being able to use it for stuff like recording bio settings has saved us time

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:37.039
and improved the production values of our videos and we've done crazy stuff

00:04:34.960 --> 00:04:41.639
like live broadcasting the entire presentation at NVIDIA's GTX 780 Ti

00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:46.160
launch just by having a live gamer portable hooked up to a Wi-Fi equipped

00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:51.479
laptop in a backpack and carrying a camera plugged in via HDMI around the

00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:53.880
venue it's just a really really cool

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

00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:04.199
as the analog input

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.280
and it's cheaper so conclusion time the

00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:10.440
reason I agreed to do this review even though it's basically just a slightly

00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:15.360
trim down version of a product that I've already talked about before at a lower

00:05:12.840 --> 00:05:19.199
price is because I feel like I didn't do the original live gamer portable Justice

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

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

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.400
with the deluxe live gamer portable version or the barebones LG GP light one

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:36.520
for your video capture needs be they gaming related or something else

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

00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:47.840
the other Solutions I've tried it actually just works which is all I ask

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:50.840
