AVerMedia Live Streamer CAP (BU110) (Camera Dongle / Driver-Free UVC / 1080p30 Capture / 1080p60 Passthrough / Ultra-Compact) Review

The AVerMedia Live Streamer CAP BU110 is an ultra-compact, driver-free USB capture dongle recording 1080p30 with 1080p60 passthrough, aimed at the same casual DSLR-to-webcam and console capture use case as Elgato's Cam Link.

This is AVerMedia's answer to the Cam Link category, a small dongle you plug an HDMI source into and it shows up as a plain UVC webcam device with zero driver installation. It's genuinely simple, works with Zoom, Discord, OBS, or anything else that takes a webcam input, and its small size means it travels well. The 1080p30 capture cap is the tradeoff for that simplicity and price.

Zero-Driver UVC Simplicity

Plug it in and any app that accepts a webcam sees it immediately, no AVerMedia software required unless you want extra controls. That's the entire appeal over more full-featured (and more complicated) capture cards.

Comparison to Alternatives

Against the Elgato Cam Link 4K already in our catalog, the two serve nearly identical roles, the Cam Link supports genuine 4K30 passthrough capture while the BU110 caps recording at 1080p30, so the Cam Link is the better buy if resolution matters more than price. Against the AVerMedia Live Gamer Mini GC311, the BU110 is meant for DSLR and general HDMI-to-webcam use rather than console gaming specifically, though both land at a similar 1080p30 capture ceiling.
