It was initially a screen capture product, which eventually became a livestreaming application and was called XSplit Broadcaster.

XSplit Broadcaster 1.0 was officially released on 13 April 2012, which formally marked the end of its public beta period.

It centered around AVerMedia shipping three-month licenses of XSplit along with their Live Gamer HD C985 capture card.

This update included enhancements in performance and support for new hardware devices such as Elgato Game Capture HD.

Apart from this, the update also contained full Twitch platform compatibility for all users, improved Game Source compatibility with games such as Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Hearthstone, etc., and enhanced capture card support for AVerMedia, Hauppauge, Elgato, Matrox, and other cards.

In January 2014, a preview of XSplit Gamecaster was shared to members of the press,[3] with a full version being made publicly available in February of that same year.
