A powerhouse in the gaming peripherals scene, Razer has its eye set on the broadcasting and streaming audience with its new gaming capture card, the Ripsaw.
It seems pretty natural that Razer would enter this market. They’ve been making high quality devices that give gamers the edge over their competitors for years. The Ripsaw is another great addition to their every growing store of great peripherals. Although capture cards are nothing new, the Ripsaw is a step towards making broadcasting as frictionless as possible. In addition to a simple set up for Windows PC’s (sorry, Mac users. No support for you), it’s a simple plug-and-play affair with popular gaming consoles like the PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, even the PS3 and Xbox 360.
But the best part of the Ripsaw is the industry-leading 1080p @ 60fps capture with nearly zero latency. The Ripsaw uses the top-of-the-line USB 3.0 standard and delivers uncompressed raw game footage with minimal set up. It’s also compatible with popular streaming software like Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) and XSplit, although you could probably expect Razer to eventually enter this market, too.
“Razer has been involved with the streaming scene since the beginning of game broadcasting, with top streamers using our hardware through the ages to get the unfair gaming advantage in front of audiences,” said Min-Liang Tan, Razer CEO and co-founder. “We’re excited to design a game capture card that meets the exacting needs of broadcasters and to also give newcomers a perfect tool to help them possibly become the next Syndicate or Pewdiepie.”
Also available for budding streamers (and for lovers of the black and green colour scheme) is the Seirēn, a professional-grade microphone and the Stargazer, an advanced webcam with the world’s highest frame-rate capture. These three products round out everything a streamer could want out of their setup and leave them to worry about one thing, kicking ass at gaming.
The Razer Ripsaw gaming capture card is available now for $179.99USD at the Razer webstore.
