The design of the grabber is quite modern with a plastic body that combines black with red. On the front we have the controls for the volume and the way of use as well as the two 3.5 mm jack connectors.

On the back we find the two HDMI ports, the USB 2.0 port, the memory card slot and the power connector. Its energy consumption is very low so we can feed the capturer with a powerbank without problems .

Its connection is extremely simple because we will only have to connect it to our console using the HDMI input port and then connect it to the monitor or television through its HDMI output port, in this way the video and audio signal from the console will go through the capture device before reaching the TV. AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus does not add any lag so the gaming experience will not be affected. It also includes a 3.5 mm audio input in case we want to connect a headset or a microphone to discuss our games. The connection to the PC is made through its USB 2.0 port.

PC mode

This use mode allows you to make an instant use and retransmit your games without having to wait, thanks to its "Plug and Play" functionality, you only need to take the capture device out of its box to start using it. In this way you will not have to waste time with long configurations, each time we have less free time for leisure, so this detail is very important.

PC-free mode

This mode is especially interesting when we do not have a PC within reach, we only have to press the record button and the capturer will record all our games on a MicroSD memory card at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a smooth 60 FPS. Perfect to use with your PS4, Xbox One or Nintendo Switch.

Storage mode

After having recorded your games you only need to connect it to your computer to be able to access its files as if it were a flash drive, so you can upload your videos directly or edit them to give them a more professional touch.

RECentral 4 software

RECentral 4 allows us to broadcast live, choose the recording quality, the codec, the video category, adjust all the sound values. A super practical utility if we use PC mode! In case you only want to see the recorded files, we recommend choosing the storage mode selector to go to the used files.

Final words and conclusion about AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus

It is the first Avermedia product that we analyzed on our website and the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus capturer could not leave us a better taste. A super useful device for those users who use their console (PS4 PRO, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch) or PC as a daily work tool on their YouTube channel .

One of the great advantages of this external capture device is that it does not need a computer connected to it to record your games. Even if you connect your headphones with audio input / output, you can record your voice while playing.

Currently we find it in online stores for a price of about 200 euros. Taking into account that it is capable of taking 4K image (only to the TV) and recording at stable Full HD 60 FPS resolution. We find it a highly recommended purchase for those users who need potability and non-dependence on a laptop or PC while recording. You only need a microSD card and the AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus. What do you think of this grabber? Does it seem as interesting to you as it does to us?
