The AVerMedia GC551G2 Live Gamer Extreme 3 captures gameplay at 4K30 and passes through high-refresh signals up to 1080p240 with VRR support at 1440p120 or 1080p120. It connects via USB Type-C to Type-A and includes an HDMI 2.0 cable for immediate setup.

Console gamers and content creators

This device suits console players on PS5, Xbox One X/S or Switch who want zero-latency pass-through while recording or streaming to YouTube or Twitch. Builders needing internal PCIe capture or multi-input mixing should look at a different product class.

Questions about this item

What HDMI cable and USB connection does the GC551G2 need to capture 4K30 video?

The box includes an HDMI 2.0 cable and a USB Type-C to Type-A cable; connect the HDMI cable from the source to the capture card and the USB cable to a host port for 4K30 capture.

Will the Live Gamer Extreme 3 pass through 1440p120 VRR from a PS5 while I capture 1080p240?

Yes, the device supports VRR pass-through at 1440p120 and can simultaneously capture at 1080p240, so the PS5 signal reaches the display without losing variable refresh rate.

How can I confirm the GC551G2 is capturing HDR pass-through correctly after setup?

Open the preview in your streaming software and verify the incoming signal shows 4K30 or 1080p240 with HDR metadata, while the pass-through monitor displays 1440p120 VRR without latency.
