AVerMedia Live Gamer Bolt: Lag-free recording and streaming in 4K
With the AVerMedia Live Gamer BOLT , input signals are processed in sharp 4K resolution with HDR in 60 FPS (frames per second). Alternatively, lower resolutions such as WQHD and Full HD in 16: 9 and 21: 9 format with very high frame rates of up to 240 FPS are also possible. This offers broad compatibility with various content. Role-playing games can be enjoyed in razor-sharp details and brilliant colors with HDR and action-heavy games such as first-person shooters benefit from the particularly fluid display with 240 FPS .
The output either takes place directly via a loop through to the HDMI 2.0 connectionor via Thunderbolt 3. This connects the capture box to a streaming / recording PC and offers a very low latency of less than 50 ms . A preview can be displayed using the AVerMedia RECentral software , which can then be output on another display. You can also choose from a wide range of streaming software such as OBS or XSplit. This provides the audience with the best possible video quality with little delay.
The recording is compressed in the same quality as the input signal with the particularly efficient H.265 codec. This means that content is compressed twice as much as with H.264 coding while maintaining the same quality. Alternatively, this is also supported. Audio signals can be recorded in stereo and 5.1 surround sound . These can either be fed in via the HDMI 2.0 input or the 3.5 mm jack connection.
Stylish design and extensive accessories
The AVerMedia Live Gamer BOLT is set in scene by the stylish RGB-LED lighting with two pre-installed modes . This means that the black capture box with bevelled edges does not have to hide from other peripherals on the desk and becomes a visual highlight.
