The Best Way To Stream, If You Can Afford It

The light-up panel is convenient as well, so you can make sure everything is all set to go with recording and connectivity, so you can know right off the bat if something isn't set up the right way. Plus, you've got an instruction book and on-screen display that shows everything that needs to get done. Really, the only way you can screw this up is if you mis-connect something – and even then, it's a relatively simple fix.
There are also options when it comes to capturing your footage. You can easily have it set up on your computer, but if you prefer, you can use a Micro SD card if you need to transfer it. That makes this ideal for trips to someone else's house, or during an event when you can't quite get a home rig going. Considering all the travel I do for gaming, this thing acts as a godsend.
The quality of the video from the AVerMedia device is extraordinary, even if you don't go in 4K. The video playback is razor sharp, even in 1080p, and I'm surprised how well my PlayStation 4 sessions went with it. And, again, the menu makes it a snap to use and put together, even if you're not an elite streamer. This device will help you hit the ground running in that direction, if that's how you want to go.
Now, the price of the device is a bit up there in price, running over $200 at retail. But if you're looking for a quality piece of equipment that sets you up for streaming success, or makes it more convenient to capture footage (again, a thing I desperately needed), then this is a must-have. Put that cash aside, pick this up, and stream to your heart's content.
RATING: Four and a half stars out of five.
