how to install AVerMedia Live Gamer DUO GC570D

Setting up the Live Gamer DUO is straightforward and designed to get you live quickly without sacrificing quality. Follow these steps to install and configure the card for optimal performance:

• Prepare your workspace: Power down your PC, unplug the power cord, and ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Gather a Phillips head screwdriver and the included installation accessories if provided by your bundle.
• Choose a PCIe slot: Open your computer case and locate an available PCIe expansion slot, preferably a PCIe x1 or larger. Remove the slot cover plate from the chassis at the corresponding rear I/O area.
• Insert the capture card: Carefully align the GC570D with the slot and press firmly until the connector is seated. Use a screw to secure the metal bracket to the case.
• Connect your video sources: Attach one HDMI output from your gameplay device (console or PC) to HDMI Input 1 on the card, and connect your camera, camcorder, or other HDMI source to HDMI Input 2. Ensure both sources are powered and sending a signal before booting.
• Power up and install software: Reassemble the case, plug in the PC, and boot into your operating system. Install the latest drivers and any included software from AVerMedia’s official site or the provided installer. Allow the system to detect the new hardware and complete the setup wizard.
• Configure your streaming software: Open OBS Studio, XSplit, or Streamlabs and add a new video capture device. Choose “AVerMedia Live Gamer DUO GC570D” as the source for each input. If your software supports separate tracks, configure Input 1 for your gameplay and Input 2 for your camera.
• Adjust settings for best quality: Set the capture resolution to 1080p60, ensure color format matches your workflow (4:4:4 or 4:2:2 if available), and disable any unnecessary post-processing that could introduce latency.
• Test and refine: Preview both feeds in your scene, adjust audio routing if needed, align synchronization between gameplay and camera, and perform a short test stream or recording to verify latency and stability.
