AVerMedia Unites Mobile & PC Streaming with New Creator Ecosystem

SAN JOSE, CA – February 03, 2026 – AVerMedia Technologies, a long-standing leader in digital audiovisual solutions, has significantly expanded its creator-focused offerings with the launch of its new Live Streamer mobile app and major updates to its PC-based Streaming Center software. The dual release underscores a strategic push to create a cohesive ecosystem that bridges the gap between high-powered desktop production and flexible, on-the-go content creation.

The new tools are designed to empower creators, from seasoned professionals to burgeoning streamers, with the flexibility to produce high-quality content regardless of their location or setup. By addressing both mobile and PC workflows in a single, unified strategy, AVerMedia is positioning itself to meet the dynamic needs of the modern creator economy.

The Mobile Revolution: Streaming Without the PC

At the heart of the announcement is the new Live Streamer app, available for both iPadOS and Android. The app transforms a tablet or smartphone into a powerful, portable streaming hub, specifically designed to work in tandem with AVerMedia’s portable capture devices, the X’TRA GO GC515 and ELITE GO GC313Pro. This combination effectively liberates creators from the need to carry a laptop for high-quality, multi-source streaming.

For creators who are frequently traveling, attending events, or simply prefer a minimalist setup, this development is a game-changer. The app supports core professional streaming features, including dual-video picture-in-picture (PiP) layouts—allowing a creator to overlay their camera feed onto gameplay or another video source—and dual-audio mixing for balancing game sound with commentary. A companion app, Live Streamer Link, even allows a smartphone to be used as a wireless microphone, sending audio back to the primary streaming device and further reducing the need for extra hardware.

One popular use case highlighted by the company involves a gamer in a hotel room connecting a Nintendo Switch 2 to the ELITE GO GC313Pro capture device. The gameplay is projected onto the hotel TV for a comfortable playing experience, while an iPad running the Live Streamer app manages the entire livestream. This setup, requiring minimal gear, exemplifies the convenience and power AVerMedia aims to provide for mobile production.

“Creators don’t always want to carry a full PC setup, but they still need control, reliability, and quality when streaming on the go,” said Michael Kuo, President and CEO of AVerMedia Technologies, in a statement. “With the GO Series and Live Streamer, we’re offering a mobile streaming solution that is easy to use, powerful where it matters, and flexible enough to fit into different creative moments.”

Powering the Desktop: AI and Next-Gen Encoding Arrive

While the mobile app captures the spotlight for its innovation in portability, AVerMedia has not neglected its desktop user base. The company simultaneously rolled out significant enhancements to its Streaming Center PC software, integrating cutting-edge technologies that push the boundaries of video quality and efficiency.

The first major update is the introduction of NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR). This AI-powered feature uses the Tensor Cores in compatible NVIDIA RTX graphics cards to upscale lower-resolution video sources in real time. For a streamer, this means an older game running at 720p or a standard 1080p webcam feed can be intelligently sharpened and enhanced to look crisp on a 1440p or 4K broadcast, dramatically improving the visual quality for the audience without needing to upgrade the source hardware.

Secondly, Streaming Center now supports AV1 encoding. As a next-generation video codec, AV1 offers superior compression efficiency compared to the long-standing H.264 standard. This allows creators to stream higher-quality video at the same bitrate, or maintain current quality while using significantly less internet bandwidth. For streamers with limited upload speeds, AV1 can be the key to a stable, high-fidelity broadcast. For viewers, it means less buffering and a smoother experience. While AV1 adoption is still growing, platforms like YouTube already support it, and its inclusion positions AVerMedia’s software as a forward-looking solution.

A Strategic Play in a Competitive Market

AVerMedia’s dual-platform announcement is more than just a product launch; it's a calculated strategic move within the highly competitive creator market. While competitors like Elgato focus heavily on a tightly integrated hardware ecosystem for the desktop, and software solutions like Streamlabs and OBS Studio dominate the PC streaming space, AVerMedia is carving out a unique position by championing a hybrid mobile-PC workflow.

The strategy directly addresses a clear market trend: the rise of mobile-first creators and the increasing popularity of powerful handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. By providing a robust, PC-free solution for capturing and streaming from these devices, AVerMedia taps into a growing segment that other companies have not fully addressed with an integrated hardware and software solution.

This approach creates a seamless experience for creators who operate in multiple environments. A streamer might use their full PC rig with Streaming Center for their main broadcasts at home but switch to the Live Streamer app on an iPad for a casual travel stream or an IRL (in-real-life) event, all within the same familiar ecosystem. This flexibility acknowledges that content creation is no longer tethered to a single desk.

By developing both the hardware—from capture cards to the portable GO Series—and the software to control it, AVerMedia offers a level of synergy that can be difficult to achieve with a mix-and-match setup. The new updates demonstrate a clear vision: to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end toolkit that empowers creators with quality and control, whether they are at their desk or on the move. The Live Streamer app is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play, giving creators immediate access to this new era of flexible production.
