Video capturing device AVerMedia Live Gamer DUO

The AVerMedia Live Gamer DUO is an internal PCIe video capturing device that fits a single expansion slot and provides two HDMI inputs. It lets creators capture gameplay or camera feeds while passing through a second HDMI signal for live monitoring. The card supports up to 4K HDR pass-through and captures at 1080p60, with onboard processing for HDR-to-SDR tone mapping, downscaling and frame-rate conversion. Compatible with common streaming software on Windows 10, it is intended for high-quality streaming and recording setups.

Advantages

Two independent HDMI inputs share one PCIe slot, enabling capture of a gameplay feed and a camera (or secondary source) simultaneously. Zero-lag pass-through preserves the original experience for monitoring at resolutions up to 4K HDR or responsive Full HD at high frame rates, while the card captures 1080p60 for streaming. Built-in video processing handles HDR-to-SDR mapping, 4K-to-1080p downscaling and frame rate conversion in hardware without affecting the pass-through signal. The device integrates with major streaming applications and offers color presets for consistent output.

Suitable for

• Live streaming gameplay with an additional camera angle
• Recording dual HDMI sources for content creation
• Multi-camera interviews, reaction videos and tutorials
• High-quality streaming on platforms that accept 1080p60 input

How to use

Install the Live Gamer DUO into an available PCIe x4 (or larger) slot on a compatible Windows 10 PC and connect the HDMI sources: one input for the main gameplay or camera feed and the second input for an additional camera or secondary device. Connect the HDMI pass-through output to a monitor or TV for zero-lag monitoring. Install the manufacturer's drivers and your preferred streaming software; the card appears as a capture source so you can set capture resolution and apply color presets or onboard processing options. Configure the streaming application to use the card's 1080p60 capture feed for broadcast or recording.

Recommendations

For stable performance, use a PCIe x4 or higher slot and ensure the host PC meets the recommended CPU and GPU specifications. When streaming, set the capture source to 1080p60 and enable onboard processing (tone mapping or downscale) when your original input is HDR or 4K. Test pass-through settings on your monitor to confirm low latency monitoring and choose color presets to match your production workflow.
