FAQs
What is the maximum recording resolution and frame rate?
The GC573 supports 4K resolution at 60 fps with HDR10, and can capture up to 240 fps at 1080p resolution.
Do I need a separate audio cable?
No, audio is typically captured through the HDMI connection. Ensure your source device is configured to send audio over HDMI.
Can I stream and record at the same time?
Yes, the AVerMedia GC573, along with the RECentral software, allows you to stream to platforms like Twitch and YouTube while simultaneously recording your gameplay.
What are the minimum PC requirements for 4K recording?
For 4K 60fps HDR recording, a more powerful system is recommended than the general minimum. Refer to AVerMedia's official documentation for specific 4K system requirements, but generally, an Intel Core i5-4K or higher CPU and a modern NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-series or higher GPU are advised.
Is this capture card compatible with Mac computers?
The AVerMedia GC573 is designed for Windows operating systems. Compatibility with macOS may be limited or require specific third-party software solutions not officially supported by AVerMedia.
What is the difference between pass-through and capture?
Pass-through sends the video signal directly to your monitor for lag-free gameplay. Capture is the process of recording that video signal to your computer for streaming or later editing.
Does it support H.265 encoding?
Yes, the GC573 supports video compression formats including H.264+ and H.265+, allowing for more efficient file sizes.
Troubleshooting
No video signal detected
Ensure all HDMI cables are securely connected to the correct ports (IN and OUT). Verify that the input source is powered on and outputting video. Try a different HDMI cable.
Capture card not recognized by software
Check that the card is properly seated in the PCIe slot. Reinstall the latest AVerMedia drivers. Restart your computer and the capture software.
Laggy or stuttering footage
Verify that your PC meets the minimum system requirements. Close unnecessary background applications. Lower the recording resolution or frame rate. Ensure you have sufficient storage speed (SSD recommended) for recording.
Audio sync issues
Check audio settings in RECentral or your streaming software. Ensure the correct audio input is selected. Try capturing audio via HDMI without separate audio capture devices if possible.
HDR content appears washed out
Confirm that both your source device and display support HDR. Ensure HDR is enabled in your operating system and capture software settings. Use the correct HDR recording format (HDR10).
