You can't deny that Razer is a brand for gamers. And not just because of the peripherals in the form of gamepads, headsets, and mice in its catalog, but also because of the other peripherals that revolve around the gaming audience, ranging from microphones for live streaming to video capture cards (and let's not forget the phones ).
New Ripsaw HD
Razer has decided today to update its video capture card to now offer 4K streaming . To be precise, this capture card will allow you to stream without sacrificing the maximum quality of your console. Until now, most models on the market couldn't handle a resolution higher than Full HD, which is fine for live streaming, but local gameplay must be at the same resolution.
However, with the new Ripsaw HD, gamers will now be able to get the most out of their monitors and consoles or PC, being able to play at full 2160p resolution while streaming at 1080p on the other hand.
Easy setups with no need for mixers
But in addition, this new Ripsaw HD allows you to reduce the number of programs and components needed for live streaming. Currently, many capture cards require an audio mixer to capture the game microphone and the audio you want to stream live, but with Razer's new accessory, everything is simplified, since you can use a single microphone on two computers simultaneously thanks to the integrated mixer.
The microphone input will allow streamers to use one microphone on two PCs, eliminating the need for complicated audio mixer setups or software, and allowing content creators to use their own game audio while inputting their voice in parallel.
