AVerMedia Technologies, Inc., a leader in digital video and audio, today announced that it is partnering with the cloud multi-streaming service, Restream, to add integrated Restream multi-streaming support for Macs with the release of AVerMedia’s new RECentral Express software that makes its Live Gamer ULTRA driverless external capture card fully compatible with Apple Mac systems. Additionally, PC as well as Mac users of AVerMedia’s entire breakthrough Live Gamer 4K UHD line of high performance game streaming cards that allow 4K and high frame rate capture, as well as other AVerMedia cards, can now get 30% off Restream subscriptions from now until September 30th.

With today’s partnership announcement and the launch of RECentral Express for the Live Gamer ULTRA, Mac users can access the power of the ULTRA with recording up to 4Kp30 resolution, 4Kp60 HDR passthrough, and Full HD recording at up to 120 fps along with onboard video processing that helps lighten CPU load. RECentral Express Mac support for additional AVerMedia cards is planned for the future.

The Live Gamer 4K UHD line is headlined by the Live Gamer 4K internal PCIe card (MSRP $299.99) the first card outside of expensive professional capture cards to support 4K HDR recording at 60 frames per second. Complementing this powerhouse are the external, driverless Live Gamer ULTRA (MSRP $249.99), which provides a solution for laptop users and streamers on the go with ultra low latency 4K capture over USB 3.1, and the Live Gamer EXTREME 2 (MSRP $179.99), a smaller external card with customizable graphic cover, 4K passthrough, onboard downscaling and 1080p60 recording.
