The body of "UCAM-CX80FBBK".Has a simple appearance based on black
In the past two years, the genre of peripheral devices that has begun to attract attention is the "web camera".
Until then, web cameras (for many people who have few opportunities for broadcasting) were "convenient if it was."There were few opportunities to use.However, there was no rarely a role in a simple interview using a webcam or when a smartphone camera could not be used, it did not play a role in recording something in a memo.。It was only that much.
However, since the expansion of the new colon virus infection, the number of remote meetings has rapidly increased, and the webcam has been promoted to an important equipment that can be placed on a PC at once.Now, without the work, it hinders the work.
As you get on the trend, each peripheral device manufacturer has released an external high-performance webcam one after another, but the most recently I am paying attention to ELECOM's "UCAM-CX80FBBK".
In addition to the main unit, it includes two types of privacy shutters and two USB cables (Type-C, Type-A).
UCAM-CX80FBBK is 1/2.It is a 4K resolution (3840 x 2160 pixel) webcam with a built -in type 8 -inch laminated CMOS sensor.The frame rate is 60fps at full HD and 30fps at 4K.The lens configuration is 6 pieces of 5 groups, and the F value is 2.8.
Isn't it like a video camera or a high -end smartphone in -camera?The webcam for PC would have had such specs before I knew it.
In addition, UCAM-CX80FBK has an auto zoom function with AI, and has a function that automatically adjusts the angle of view according to the speaker.This cannot be evaluated for not using it.I decided to borrow a real machine and try the feeling of use.
The connection terminal on the main body side is USB Type-C
The size of UCAM-CX80FBBK is about 72.0 x depth 50.1 x height 30.5mm and weighs about 125g.The housing is made of black resin and has a glossy feeling.Instead of a big feature, it feels compact, rather than a big difference, and at first glance it doesn't seem to be a big difference from many other webcams.
Because it has a screw hole for 3 legs, it can be used on any tripod.
There are three ways to install.Whether to hook and fix the bezel part of the laptop, pull out the stand and become independent, or attach any tripod to the tripod screw hole on the bottom.
Image of installation on laptops
In the business scene, I think that the fixing method that hooks on a laptop bezel is the most common installation.This method can be adjusted to the desired angle.
You can also change the angle
It is also possible to use the stand stored in the main unit.
The angle of view is up to 130 degrees diagonal, and the diagonal is 100 degrees when the "distortion correction" function to reduce distortion is turned on.Speaking of 100 degrees, it is about 18 mm when converted to 35mm format, and the camera lens is sold as a wide -angle to super -wide angle.The web camera provided on a notebook PC is often about 28mm to 35mm.
In comparison, UCAM-CX80FBK is a more likely to be distributed, including the room status.If you compare it by the number of people, web cameras provided on a laptop PC are limited to 2-3 people, but I think that UCAM-CX80FBK can be used simultaneously by 5-6 people.。
Webcam with built -in MacBook Pro (2017 model)
Video of UCAM-CX80FBK.The image quality and brightness are clearly different.The angle of view is wide
The image above is a sample used by MacBook Pro (2017 model) webcam and UCAM-CX80FBK in Google Meet, respectively.I think the difference between angle of view, brightness, and image quality is easy to understand.
The MacBook Pro webcam is not bad, but the overall is dark and the angle of view is narrow, so it is difficult to grasp the room.In the video from the UCAM-CX80FBK, it can be read that the pendant light is hanging from the ceiling and that the air conditioner is installed on the window.If you devise the installation method, you can use it to explain the product while copying the sample.
UCAM-CX80FBBK is compatible with technology called "dol-HDR technology" that synthesizes images with different exposure time in real time.The sample image above does not use a lighting device and is recorded only with natural light, but it can be expressed without crushing the dark part that tends to be exposed under.
