In a change to what I normally review, namely anything storage and networking based, I've decided to have a little change of scene and this week I'll be looking at a HD capture card from AVerMedia. There are a large number of gamers out there, especially those in teams that like to record their games so that they can review them back to see where they go wrong or to show off their skills to others though the likes of YouTube or live through TwitchTV. Whilst there are a number of external options to chose from, not all give the flexibility to either record or stream and typically most of them are recorders. What we will be having a look at today is a PCIe mounted capture card that allows you to stream you content straight to the masses on the internet via the use of XSplit or record your game for editing and uploading later on. AVerMedia have been around for quite a few years and this is one of their latest bits of kit that is very simple to setup and get going with barely any setup required. Sounds like a great bit of kit to me so lets see what this is all about.
