Technical Specifications Discover Your Capture Card Live Gamer ULTRA 2.1 Live Gamer Ultra S Live Gamer EXTREME 3 Live Gamer Mini Review: Excellent capture card for streaming and recording - I’m very happy with this capture card. The video quality is excellent and it works perfectly for recording and streaming gameplay. Setup was easy and the device runs smoothly without lag. It supports high resolution and frame rates which is great for content creators. I use it for gaming videos and the results are very professional. Highly recommended for anyone who wants good quality recording or streaming. Review: Small, useful and delivers on its promises - I was surprised with its small size, which is a plus. The box works intuitively without the need for setup and you can get going in minutes. The RGB is in a rainbow pattern by default, but with a firmware update you can get from the company's website, I was immediately able to control the lights from the Windows interface itself without any extra software, which was incredibly convenient. It comes with an HDMI cable of good quality. The only lesser component in the package is the 3.5mm cable, which was picking up some static, but it's cheap to get a better one and once I swapped, it was giving me 100% clear sound.
