Many of you will have seen streaming at some time and you may even be thinking of starting yourself in the world of online entertainment. Fortunately AverMedia is there for those undecided and bring you the Live Streamer Duo. Let's take a look at it!

AverMedia is a company that focuses its solutions on digital entertainment, specifically focusing on content creators. Most of their products are directed towards them.

Live Streamer Duo pack unboxing

The Live Streamer Duo pack consists of two essential components: the CAM 313 camera and the GC311 mini recorder. Both come to us presented in a single box type chest. We have a photograph of both separately and in full action. Already on its cover is a statement of intent of the product to see its three outstanding strengths:

  • Full HD video capturer Full HD webcam + two integrated microphones RECentral streaming software

Along with this, it is worth highlighting the reflective sticker that accompanies the images of the solutions in which it promotes YouTube and Twitch, reinforcing the scope for which the Live Streamer Duo pack is directed.

Next, on both sides of the box we can read the technical specifications and minimum system requirements for both the camera and the charger.

Finally, on the back of the box we are shown a diorama that explains the capabilities of the recorder and camera in a very simplified way to stream with our PC. It is also highlighted that both devices are Plug & Play and the camera is capable of recording at 1080p.

In addition to this we find a list of the official compatible programs with the product for streaming and video editing:

All of them are free to download, so you won't have to worry about acquiring any license.

We go ahead and move on to open the chest. We are immediately greeted by both components firmly seated in a matte black compact foam mold. When removing it we find under it the rest of the cables and documentation.

The total content of the box is summarized in:

  • CAM 313 GC311 Camera Quick Guide Recorder Quick Guide USB Cable (Type A and Micro) Warranty Document

CAM 313 camera design

The CAM 313 camera has a cylindrical structure format. At its base we can see the AverMedia logo screen printed in white.

The most interesting details to highlight about its structure are summarized in:

  • It incorporates dual microphone Privacy tab for greater security Flexible 360 ° rotating design (horizontal) Vertical rotation of about 40º with respect to its base Folding blades with non-slip rubber on the inside face to fix it to the screen of our computer. Drilling to fix it with screw on a tripod

Its manufacturing materials vary between plastic and aluminum, both combining glossy or matte finishes but always in black. Its weight is 130g, which gives us a certain solidity when handling it.

The privacy tab is a good point that those more suspicious users will certainly appreciate. It consists of a matte black plastic sheet that slides on the structure itself from the right side. This completely covers the lens and does not obstruct the microphones on either side of the lens.

On the CAM 313 cable, it has a length of 150cm and is covered with rubber. Its connection is USB type A and shows the USB icon in relief to visually support the correct insertion.

Continuing to hold the camera, Avermedia CAM 313 offers two variants:

  • On the one hand, the opening in two blades with internal non-slip rubber guarantees that we can place it on the edge of our screen, whether it is portable or monitor.

  • Another alternative is to use an external tripod, for which it has a threaded hole to fix it with a nut.

Design of the GC311 recorder

Turning to the recorder, we will start with its design. It presents a box format with rounded edges and quite small dimensions, only 98x57x18 cm. Added to this it also highlights its extraordinarily light weight with 174.5 grams.

On the upper deck we have a ribbed pattern in diagonal bas-relief with a shiny black color. Just above this surface is the AverMedia logo accompanying the model name: Live Gamer Mini.

In the upper edge of the recorder is where we can find all the available ports of it.

The ports are summarized in:

  • HDMI output HDMI input Micro USB Repair input

At its base we see four buttons that work as non-slip rubber supports to prevent the recorder from moving on the table. Also in the center we have the label with the product's serial number and some certificates such as the European Quality Certificate.

The management of the HDMI ports to record the games is simple: the original image that comes from the console arrives at the grabber with the HDMI IN port and from there it goes out to the computer via USB to PC.

The cable that arrives included in the pack is of great quality: thick and twisted in fiber with a length of two meters. Both USB sockets are reinforced with a piece of PVC.

Putting Live Streamer Duo into use

Live Streamer Duo is designed to allow players of portable consoles such as XBox, Play Station or Nintendo Switch to broadcast their games live without sacrificing quality.

Talking about the use of this pack implies commenting on both the impressions of the camera and the recorder separately.

CAM camera 313

The camera features excellent image quality, with 1080p maximum resolution (FULL HD) at stable 30fps. Although it does not have auto-focus, the fact of being part of a streaming pack generally implies that the user will be in a mostly fixed position, so you will not find any problem.

Its minimum system requirements are as follows:

  • Windows® 10 / 8.1 / 7 or higher Mac OS 10.6 or higher USB 2.0 port

For AVerMedia 1080p and CamEngine video recording:

  • Windows® 10 Intel® Core ™ i5-6500 3.10 GHz NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 or higher 4 GB RAM

GC 311 Grabber

Moving on to the grabber, this wonder is small but bully. It is capable of receiving and retransmitting the image at 1080p and 60FPS without losing quality or stability thanks to the UVC protocol. The hardware encoding of the Live Gamer MINI GC311 reduces CPU consumption, so AverMedia has been able to keep the Minimum System Requirements relatively low. It is appreciated not to need a super pointer computer to stream.

Its minimum system requirements are as follows:

  • Operating system: Windows® 10; Mac OS X 10.13 or later Desktop: Intel® i5-3330 or similar (i7 recommended) + AMD A10-78 / AMD Radeon ™ R7 250X or higher recommended + 4GB RAM Portable: Intel Core i7-4810M90K (Quad-core) or higher + NVIDIA® GTX 650 Q + NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 870M or higher + 4GB RAM (8GB Recommended)
We must bear in mind that the grabber makes occasional use of the GPU, so it is advisable to make sure that our team has sufficient resources. Staying with only the minimum is not recommended.

Avermedia RECentral Software

We conclude the commissioning section with the software offered by Avermedia. This program offers various basic and advanced options through a practical and intuitive interface in broad strokes.

Some of the elements that RECentral includes:

  • Beauty effect for portrait Animated filters for animals, flowers, light... Filter for chroma Advanced settings for light, contrast, saturation, backlight etc. Templates for streaming set-up

The System Requirements for the correct operation of the AverMedia Cam Engine software are:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 / 8.1 / 7 (SP1) or higher Processor: Intel® Core ™ i5-6500 3.10 GHz Video: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 or above RAM: 4GB
We leave you here the link to the software in case you want to take a closer look at it.

The good thing about the grabber is that we can use it as regular software or use the free software on the market (OBS). Avermedia leaves everything

Final words and conclusions about the Live Streamer Duo pack

The Avermedia Live Streamer Duo Pack offers an excellent starting point for initiated streamers. Your CAM 313 camera records image in good quality (1080p, 30 FPS). The audio recording on the other hand is also good, although we cannot compare it to another specialized microphone. Moving on to the GC 311 grabber , it does receive and stream at stable 1080p and 60 FPS, making it more than enough for virtually all current console games.

If you want to go deeper into both components, we recommend you take a look at the individual reviews dedicated to analyzing both solutions:

Thanks to RECentral 4 software we can establish our relay interface and all kinds of parameters. This makes it a very versatile (and free) option that has a large number of customization options.

Live Streamer Duo delivers on everything we can ask of you and more.

In short, the Live Streamer Duo is undoubtedly a great option for those who do not want to complicate their minds by choosing among the solutions on the market and are looking for something that can safely connect and function without the need for software or driver installations. The recorder is small, compact and light. It can be placed anywhere and ignore it. For its part, the camera has an attractive design, performs well and the privacy tab has seemed a great touch.

The price of this Live Streamer Duo pack is € 159.95. It is a safe expense since not only do you have everything you need to start your adventures broadcasting live, but its components are Plug & Play. AverMedia cannot make it easier for you!
