AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus adds 4K passthrough support to a great capture card

The PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X are a headache waiting to happen for people who capture a lot of gameplay footage off of consoles. That’s because those systems support Ultra HD 4K resolution, and that can cause errors for most of the recording equipment on the market right now. But AverMedia has stepped up with a product that solves this problem whether you’re recording at home or at an event.

The AverMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus is the latest revision of the company’s compact gameplay capture card that works with or without a PC. The external device is available now for $209, and it is an update of the previous Live Gamer Portable 2. The “Plus” designator indicates that it can now support 4K passthrough, which is crucial for players who want to record gameplay on a console while enjoying the full visuals on their television.
