00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,520
today on my video blog we'll be unboxing a new product from Microsoft that's

2
00:00:03,959 --> 00:00:12,200
actually pretty exciting this is the lifecam cinema and the biggest feature

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:14,679
on this camera is that it is true 720P

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:21,560
HD with clear Smooth video so basically what that means is webcams are finally

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:22,800
HD so let's get this baby open and uh

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:26,640
actually you know what let's have a look at the back first so here it outlines

7
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:30,400
some of the important new features of this particular webcam first of all you

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:35,000
got 720p which we already mentioned at 30 frames per second world world class

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:38,680
Optics so they're using an actual glass element lens rather than a plastic lens

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:43,360
which is what you typically see on a webcam clear high quality video they

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,879
show an example of uh clear versus standard video now one moment we're

12
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:51,879
actually going to do our next unboxing using this camera so we'll see exactly

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:55,440
how good that clear high quality video is next is you got Crystal Clear audio

14
00:00:54,199 --> 00:01:00,320
so they're saying they've got a digital noise cancelling microphone right on the

15
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:06,159
top of the aluminum unit so let's get this baby open and here we go so first

16
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:10,960
we're going to find the USB cable covered in a little sticker that

17
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:17,000
protects it presumably and it also warns you that you should install the driver

18
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,560
software before you plug in the webcam

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:23,119
okay so there's our little genuine Microsoft chiny sticker got love that

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,200
okay what else do we have in here oh I see what looks like a disc so it's in

21
00:01:26,119 --> 00:01:32,640
about a zillion different languages most of which I cannot read but I found this

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,720
this start here excellent okay so let's open this up kind of a it's kind of a

23
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:41,600
clever little box so it of opens up like that and here we go start here again so

24
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,360
this is your quick start guide and it's going to I'm just going to get up here

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:50,799
so that I can reach a little bit better so it shows you okay you install the driver you plug in the USB then you

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,280
position your camera and then presumably you use it okay they want you to use MSN

27
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,719
Messenger that's perfectly appropriate there we go there's your lifecam 3.0

28
00:01:57,079 --> 00:02:03,159
software you're probably better off to download the latest drivers off the

29
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:06,119
Microsoft website however okay then a

30
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:10,840
product guide yeah okay so let's get to the product itself so let's pull it out

31
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:16,560
of the packaging here if I can yeah there we go and then

32
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:22,400
we got a little plastic window so that they can present the product in a retail

33
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:24,080
store and then H I'm going to have to

34
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:29,360
try and figure out how this comes off wow it's like a four-step process so

35
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:35,040
there we go we removed that piece and then uh uh

36
00:02:31,519 --> 00:02:37,080
H we can go like this and oh oh no there

37
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:42,280
we go there we go and then we can remove this no we can't remove the plastic

38
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:48,800
piece okay so we're going to just pull the cable out which I can not quite do

39
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,040
yet okay there okay we finally got it

40
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:57,159
out but I still have it in a little oh okay plastic clam shell comes off right

41
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:59,440
there and there it is awesome oh this is

42
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:04,080
cool actually here it's got a flexible little stand here so you can actually

43
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,959
hook it onto anything it's got a pretty good feel to it it's kind of rubberized

44
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:10,200
so it's really really grippy and that's really neat you know what we got a

45
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:14,280
monitor right here I'm just going to get the cameraman to uh point at the monitor

46
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,480
so I can demonstrate just how this works so you hook it at the front and then you

47
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:22,400
just throw the little grippy bit on there and you can aim it at any angle

48
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:26,480
you want and it actually rotates here as well so that's that's a really cool

49
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:30,599
mounting system I really like that and then there's one button on the top which

50
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:35,040
has a picture of a phone and the and a phone okay and then you've got a

51
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:39,319
microphone and that is it that is the unit itself there's your little HD logo

52
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:43,879
you can see the Glass lens in there just going to turn it around so we'll see you

53
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:51,360
can actually turn it all the way around and thank you for checking out my

54
