Still, if you’re on PC, it simply makes more sense to go with AMD’s or Nvidia’s built-in recording and streaming tools.
Once properly set up, though, things work well.
Surprisingly, video recorded or streamed via OBS was also quite bad initially and I had to spend some time tweaking settings to get everything just right. Recording quality was quite nice and there was no visual tearing that I could see. On reducing settings to a more manageable 30 Mbps, however, things changed. Video recorded at 60 Mbps was unusable and filled with recording artefacts and blocky pixels. This is weird because firstly, 60 Mbps is unnecessarily high, and secondly, the USB 2.0 connection used by the Mini doesn’t support such speeds.Īs expected, this was a problem. By default, the RECentral set the bitrate to 60 Mbps. The captured video quality is a bit of a mixed bag.

It does work, so there’s that, but you might as well get used to OBS because if you’re going to be streaming a lot, software like OBS or XSplit is where you’ll end up anyway. I’d recommend going with OBS because RECentral looks like it was built in the early ‘00s. You won't need additional drivers.įrom there, you can either use popular streaming/recording software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) or XSplit, or even the RECentralsoftware provided by AVerMedia. You just hook in the cables correctly and the device is automatically detected as a video capture card. The captured data was processed and streamed via a second PC. For testing, I hooked up the Mini to a relatively low-end PC (with a U series Intel CPU and Nvidia GTX 1050 graphics) and a Samsung Galaxy S8.
