00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:05.520
today on my video blog we'll be unboxing a new product from Microsoft that's

00:00:03.959 --> 00:00:12.200
actually pretty exciting this is the lifecam cinema and the biggest feature

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:14.679
on this camera is that it is true 720P

00:00:12.200 --> 00:00:21.560
HD with clear Smooth video so basically what that means is webcams are finally

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:22.800
HD so let's get this baby open and uh

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

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.400
some of the important new features of this particular webcam first of all you

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:35.000
got 720p which we already mentioned at 30 frames per second world world class

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:38.680
Optics so they're using an actual glass element lens rather than a plastic lens

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:43.360
which is what you typically see on a webcam clear high quality video they

00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:47.879
show an example of uh clear versus standard video now one moment we're

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:51.879
actually going to do our next unboxing using this camera so we'll see exactly

00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:55.440
how good that clear high quality video is next is you got Crystal Clear audio

00:00:54.199 --> 00:01:00.320
so they're saying they've got a digital noise cancelling microphone right on the

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

00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:10.960
we're going to find the USB cable covered in a little sticker that

00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:17.000
protects it presumably and it also warns you that you should install the driver

00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:18.560
software before you plug in the webcam

00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:23.119
okay so there's our little genuine Microsoft chiny sticker got love that

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

00:01:26.119 --> 00:01:32.640
about a zillion different languages most of which I cannot read but I found this

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

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

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

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

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.280
position your camera and then presumably you use it okay they want you to use MSN

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.719
Messenger that's perfectly appropriate there we go there's your lifecam 3.0

00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:03.159
software you're probably better off to download the latest drivers off the

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.119
Microsoft website however okay then a

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

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:16.560
of the packaging here if I can yeah there we go and then

00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:22.400
we got a little plastic window so that they can present the product in a retail

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:24.080
store and then H I'm going to have to

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

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:35.040
there we go we removed that piece and then uh uh

00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:37.080
H we can go like this and oh oh no there

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

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

00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:51.040
yet okay there okay we finally got it

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

00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:59.440
there and there it is awesome oh this is

00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:04.080
cool actually here it's got a flexible little stand here so you can actually

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

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

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

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

00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:22.400
just throw the little grippy bit on there and you can aim it at any angle

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

00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:30.599
mounting system I really like that and then there's one button on the top which

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

00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:39.319
microphone and that is it that is the unit itself there's your little HD logo

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

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:51.360
can actually turn it all the way around and thank you for checking out my

00:03:46.040 --> 00:03:51.360
