Chilling the content of games has never been easier or affordable than today. You can enter the electronic store, pick up any interception card from the shelf and leave with the functioning solution. Even better, conduct research and get a great solution at an affordable price. Avermedia is one of the biggest players in the space of the intercepting card who always wander towards a larger bang for Buck, and live player Ultra S (or GC553pro) can be one of the best bucks that … I hit?
Straight after removing from the GC553PRO box is a unit for the stylish cyber. It is a relatively miniature and slim rectangle, from ports and ventilation holes seemingly everywhere. So much, you can review the PCB inside, which seems to be occupied only by a miniature fraction of the real unit. When buying, you can choose between a black or white model. This is not a lot of options, but this is more than most, and plain colors should fit quite nicely with most sets of players.
Regardless of the color, the front plate has angular cutouts, which give insight into the live red undercoat with the Avermedia logo with proudly displayed and uncomplicated -to -read LED indicator. Then you have the entrance and output of the HDMI 2.0 ports on one side of the box, while the USB Type-C port is on the other. This is a plain configuration, but these three ports make GC553PRO the right set, which is a really good value for USD 150.
Having HDMI 2.0 ports for both input and passing means that this card can fully exploit this technology. Many interception cards will make you lose on such things as 4K at 60 FPS or rob you of your HDR experience, but GC553PRO allows you to recording and pass. It also supports VRR, so you don’t finish tears in your experience in games. This is one of the few interception cards that I recently used, I did not notice any difference between how the game looks like connected to my VS TV directly through my own cable.

The games still look good when you play them, is a great benefit here. I’m fed up with the fact that I have to miss the best impressions of loyalty just because I want to record it. This card allows you to have a cake, eat it and record everything in the brilliant 4K 60 fps. All right. If you exploit the software.
Connecting the card directly to the computer via the USB-C port will receive basic recording functions, although they will be in the lower settings by default. If you want to get the best quality recording or exploit the functions such as ultrability resolutions while maintaining quality, you will need software for the streaming center to choose all these things. This is not the most intuitive software, and you probably also want to start it through OBS, but it still works quite easily. Just not as it seems.
I turned up everything at full specifications and spent a few hours running around the world in my Xbox X series. It is uncomplicated for me to lose time while playing meat RPG, so I had GC553Pro, which did not stop for about six hours, happily recording when I went to dreams. The next day I did the same while browsing New York on my PS5 and once again the card was willing to provide me with a passage and video recordings all the time. My computer tired everything long before the intercepting card did.

But this is definitely a factor with this capture card, you will need something good enough to run it. You not only need to have USB ports on your computer that are able to receive high -quality signal, but you must also be able to store and read all these media.
Buy if …
✅ You are looking for the best quality recording or streaming at the cheapest price: I do not think that there is a card as accessible as the one that has the possibility of capturing.
✅ You are fed up with bad passhrough: it sucks to give up a good impression of games, because instead you want a good recording or streaming. This card is doing well in both.
Don’t buy if …
❌ You don’t want to exploit the application: To access the full quality of this card, you must exploit Avermedia software. If it is a breakthrough for you, save some cash and take a cheaper card that is more plug and play.
My laptop, which I often exploit for streaming, gave him truthful, and was doing well on lower quality records, but I just didn’t have ports needed for the better and he ran out really quickly if somehow succeeded. This capture unit does not perform any ponderous lifting for you, except for enabling easily passing through these signals, so the computer must be ready. As long as your platform can run it, it is a really useful interception device, except for high -quality game materials.
My friend is trying to exploit Camlink Elgato to ensure a breakthrough of high -quality camera material for his stream. Looking at it, we thought that GC553PRO should be in line with the task, so he threw him a crack. It took some work in the Avermedia application and we had to configure it as a virtual camera, but at the end we had high -quality recording of cameras much better than Camlink we ever managed to provide. Then we left it for a few hours without any complaints – something that Elgato could not reliably do.
Avermedia GC553PRO is an avid computer extension, enabling high -quality video recording, while playing in high quality transition with relatively little confusion. It doesn’t mind if it comes from a console, a phone or camera – if he can exploit HDMI, it seems that it can do it. If you want a lower quality, it will work almost without confusion, but I think it would be hard to find a card that can record and go at this level for a better price.
