What is AVerMedia RECentral?

AVerMedia RECentral is a live gamer HD capture card for recording game sessions. This is the driver and software utilities package.

Overview

AVerMedia RECentral is a software program developed by AVerMedia Technologies. The most common release is 1.3.0.45, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program registers itself to launch on boot through a Windows Schedule Task in order to automatically start-up. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named Smoking Simulator.exe. The setup package generally installs about 75 files and is usually about 954.72 KB (977,630 bytes). The installed file AVerUpdater.exe is the auto-update component of the program which is designed to check for software updates and notify and apply them when new versions are discovered. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 10 and Windows 7 (SP1). While about 47% of users of AVerMedia RECentral come from the United States, it is also popular in France and United Kingdom.
