AVerMedia Live Gamer Duo (GC570D) (External USB / Dual Simultaneous 1080p60 Capture / Webcam + Console Inputs) Review

The AVerMedia Live Gamer Duo GC570D is an external USB capture card that captures two 1080p60 sources at once, an HDMI console feed and a second HDMI or component input, so face cam and gameplay come in through one device.

The whole point of the Duo is running two capture channels through a single USB port instead of juggling a separate webcam capture and a console capture card. It's aimed squarely at people who record a face cam or a second camera angle alongside console gameplay and don't want two devices competing for USB bandwidth and desk space. If you only ever capture one source, this is overkill, save the money for a single-channel card.

Two Inputs, One Device

HDMI console footage and a second camera or capture source both land on the same USB connection, which simplifies cabling for anyone doing a picture-in-picture face cam layout without a separate webcam capture dongle.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus already in our catalog, the Duo trades that model's standalone PC-free recording for dual simultaneous inputs, a genuinely different use case. Against the Elgato Cam Link 4K in our catalog, a Cam Link only handles one UVC passthrough source at a time, so anyone wanting console plus webcam through one box needs the Duo instead of two separate Cam Links.
