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.
1080p60 Uncompressed Video
LGHD2 is built for speed and quality. By capturing uncompressed videos, LGHD2 simplifies your PC operations and delivers smoother and sharper 1080p60 streaming.
Ready to Play: No Driver Needed
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.
Flexible Audio Connection
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.
Compressed Video Output
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
Get to Know the Design
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.
Packaging
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.
RECentral 3—Stream in Perfection
The powerful and stylish RECentral has been further enhanced with multiple Pro features. Your stream will never look the same again.
