The second installment of Live Gamer HD has arrived! Packed with more power and style, Live Gamer HD 2
(LGHD2) is a plug-and-play PCIe-capturing beast that records and streams smooth, uncompressed, zero-lag
gameplay in 1080p 60 fps.
LGHD2 is built for speed and quality. By capturing uncompressed videos, LGHD2 simplifies your PC operations and delivers smoother and sharper 1080p60 streaming.
Tired of installing drivers? Don’t you worry. LGHD2 doesn’t require driver installation. Insert it into a PCIe slot and it’s ready to roll.
Having more audio options is always a plus when it comes to capturing. Connect digitally via HDMI or analog via 3.5 mm ports, you can record audio from consoles, PCs, or even output to mixers for audio mixing—the flexibility is yours.
Besides uncompressed videos, LGHD2 also delivers compressed videos that require less transmission bandwidth, so you can use multiple LGHD2s* to capture different sources at the same time.
*Multi-card-support software is required
If there’s a geometric shape that can represent gamers, it would be a triangle—a combination of vitality (a circle) and stability (a square) which outlines gamers’ charactistics. And based on this key element, we created a triangle metal mesh. Aside from its premium built quality and stylish design, it also provides excellent protection, ventilation, and allows the LED lighting to shine through.
The same design is beautifully presented on LGHD2’s packaging. Engraved and cut by high precision laser, the triangle mesh looks just as astonishing on paper sleeve as on metal sheet. The design of the inner box is also carefully thought through. Its pattern and silvery blue finishing mimics the LED lighting as you slowly pull it out of the sleeve. It's a one-of-a-kind unboxing experience.
The stylish and robust RECentral can get you started and stream like a pro in no time on Twitch, YouTube, Facebook and more. RECentral 3 also provides Stream Engine plug-in to optimize performance when using 3rd party software like OBS and XSplit.
No need to go through hours of recordings to find those highlights. Cut, trim, and merge your video while it’s being recorded.
Share your channel to social media with one simple click, right within RECentral!
