PC-Free Mode: Capturing on-the-go made easy
AVERMEDIA CAPTURE CARD KEEPS GOING BLACK PC
Below and off to the side are handy volume rocker buttons (if you have a headset plugged in) and a sliding switch to select one of LGP2’s three modes: PC Mode, PC-Free Mode, Storage Mode. This button also has a light-up AVerMedia gaming swirl icon indicating the device’s status depending on the color and lighting pattern. On the front is a big center button you press to start and stop recording.

Finally, the 1/8” audio cable can be used for connecting your PS4 or Xbox One controller to the LGP2 to take in mixed game and chat audio. It is used to power the LGP2 and transmit a signal when the device is being used with a PC. The lengthy micro-USB cable has a braided, fairly thick cord and appears to be gold-plated. The included HDMI cable is often a little too short from my experience though a 3-foot or 6-foot replacement can easily be purchased for a few bucks online. Meanwhile, there are two optional 1/8” audio jacks in the front: one to connect to your Xbox One or PS4 controller and the other for a headset to record live commentary.īoth LGP2s are bundled with a ~1.5-foot HDMI cable, ~6-foot micro-USB cable, and a ~6-foot 4-pole 1/8” auxiliary audio cable. In the back, you’ll find clearly labeled HDMI Out (to TV) and HDMI In (from console) ports, micro-USB port, and microSD card slot. Set-up: Ports, Cables, Buttons and Switches I much preferred the flat, rounded shape of the first Live Gamer Portable. Standing during use, the device looks fine, but the shape is awkward when sitting in your backpack or bag.
My largest gripe about the LGP2’s physical design is unquestionably its triangular prism, Toblerone-like shape. The device as a whole feels solid and dense, but not heavy.
All switches and buttons have a clear haptic and audible click when using them. The underside of the base sports a rubber bottom to grip onto whatever service you place the LGP2 on. The outside shell is entirely plastic with mostly a matte black color coupled with a metallic red. Both models measure in at 5.8 x 2.2 x 1.8 inches and 6.54 ounces (185.5 grams) – thus, not taking up much space or weight in my bag, even with the necessary cables. The first thing I noticed upon unboxing the LGP2 is the device certainly is compact and lives up to its namesake. So you can save yourself some money by getting the original LGP2 if you don’t have a 4K screen (For simplicity, I will refer to both as just LGP2 for the rest of this review). Aside from 4K passthrough, the both LGP2s are identical on features, form factor, and build quality.

This means a 4K video signal inputted into the LGP2 Plus will be output to 4K on your TV or monitor. The Plus version of the LGP2 supports 4K passthrough (not 4K recording). Plus or Original version: What’s the difference?

If you fall into any of those camps, you will want a dedicated video capture device and the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus or original version is a prime option to consider. Or perhaps you want to capture or stream games from an older console. Maybe you want better quality video or to stream to a service, like Facebook, that isn’t supported on console. Sometimes publishers restrict what you can capture via the on-console capture function. While those on-board solutions do a more than adequate job, a dedicated video capture card or device still gives you more freedom and better results.
