Media stuff because we actually use it for our live stream. We use the internal
one for when we're doing our general live stream. And we actually use this
portable one, the live gamer portable, when we're doing our gaming stream. Uh
my brother's a caster. He's called Cold SC. He wants an A media card. But I'm
going to hopefully get him one soon so that he can more easily stream things.
There's not as much stress on his computer. One new thing that they were
talking to me about is you could already record in 1080p to your computer writing
on your hard drive. But now on this side
you can go and put an SD card in and then you can record in 1080p to your SD
card with a firmware update. This wasn't initially available. you could only
record to the SD card in 720p, but now you can record in 1080p, which is
awesome because if you don't have a PC near you, say you're streaming on a
console or something that like that, you can record directly to an SD card. And
those can come in very, very big capacity. So, that's great. Another thing that they're talking to me about
is you can record from PC or Xbox very easily with an HDMI cable with coming in
the in, not the out as they have it currently. But PS3, they have some
content protection stuff that doesn't allow you to do that. But they found another way by going through component
with this AVN cable that they have. You can now record through PS3, which is
very, very cool because that was previously locked off. Like I was
talking like I was talking about earlier, if I'm just going to turn this right here. If you wanted to record in
PC free mode, which is the mode where you're recording to an SD card, you just
move the switch over there. If you wanted to record in PC mode, where you're recording to a PC's hard drive or
SSD, you just switch it right like that. Very, very, very nice. The button on the
top, as you can see here, which is in red or not glowing because it's not
plugged in. Here, is how you start recording or start streaming. You can
use this to either live stream or record a media locally. With everything on
YouTube, with let's plays and game reviews and all that kind of stuff, tons of people are getting into streaming.
With Twitch TV, which is part of our partnership, you can stream with one of
these things without putting extra load on your computer very, very easily.
These things are awesome. You should definitely check them out. Thank you for watching our Aver Media content. If you
