welcome to the most abstract ShortCircuit yet we're unboxing
nothing last time i unboxed a webcam on this
freaking channel it was a big old chunky boy i'll tell you that much but guess
what the same company nexigo is back
with an even bigger chunky boy actually i don't know if the
actual webcam itself is as chunky but the sensor
is the biggest sensor ever on a webcam i'm talking about
hit me
thank you the next again
whoa the nexigo iris 4k webcam and guess why
it's in this bubble wrap because it's so early it's not even out yet at the time
of shooting this video is it gonna be out when the video comes out yes yes but
they didn't they don't even have packaging when they sent it to us because it was so early i feel special
so i'm gonna take a look wow uh
it was that's kind of creepy on the front but they were right this is big
now one thing i'll say right away is that on the last mexico webcam video i
did people pointed out multiple times in the comments thank you that it was a
conference call webcam it's for like a work situation
and not so much for personal although you could use it for personal and i was
treating it a bit more as it like it was like a personal
uh so this time around uh i know
what this is for and it has particular features that will make it even more
interesting for that type of work scenario but
as they say in their materials uh you can use it for personal stuff as well
what did i just take off the privacy screen that gives me like illuminati
vibes i have sauron
it's not as refined a uh solution as i
saw on the other one that was like a bit more satisfying where it had a little
flippy thing you could flip up but that one was also more of like a like we
didn't have these curved edges on the sides here you seen this that's an
interesting side profile as i said this
has the biggest sensor ever in a webcam
according to nexigo i don't know maybe there's another model out there somewhere that we're not aware of but at
the time of filming next ego claims that this is the only webcam out there with
this large 1 to 1 8 inch sony starvus
sensor so that's exciting it can do uncompressed 4k video apparently if you
use the HDMI port on the back but we'll get there okay so on the front you got
the lens cool i'm guessing these are mics
and there's another little hole there what's the extra little hole Jake but
mexico says these are dual omnidirectional mics so you'll be able
to tell if there's a monster behind you on this side we got it looks like vents
but i don't think they are i think that's just design oh no there are some
little holes in there so they are vents on the front we got just real smooth for
your pleasure on the bottom we have a mounting point
for the attachment that i'm going to put on there some screws and on the back we
have this HDMI port that i said could do uncompressed 4k video so that's going to
be interesting as well as a usb 3.0 port if you're plugging that into just a just
an older machine in your in your company's conference room
that doesn't have HDMI that doesn't make any sense if i had the box with me
here's what else would be in the box another thick boy remember that the last
the last chord was thick as well uh USB-C usb
type a to type whatever this is i forget what it is it's a b or something and how
long is it three years oh you know it's three meters i mean i'm gonna have to
oh you want me to banana it and so there you go there's the scale uh
that's how big it is compared to a ShortCircuit banana so this is a three meter
usb sequel usb cord i keep saying usbc usb 3.0
yep seems right also in the box would be
a uh remote this one if i'm not mistaken
looks different than the one that uh we unboxed with the last model but it looks
like there are some of the similar some similar features and some new ones we'll
take a look at that okay well uh i love hanging out with webcams that aren't
plugged into anything as much as the next guy but i think we should plug it in and see how she goes okay am i right
but vote it's unanimous
okay so here we are we we plugged in the webcam into our recording laptop using
usb 3.0 we're gonna start out with that uh to see how the quality is compared to
the uncompressed 4k video that we can get off of the HDMI port and right off
the bat this looks pretty good i'm complaining a little bit about the
highlights on my forehead that could just be my forehead that's just how it
looks sometimes don't judge me but if you weren't happy with it we're going to
use the remote here to change the settings so
the cool thing about these conference webcams is that all the settings are
built in and retained in the webcam you can set
it up in one room and then move it to a different room and plug it into a
different computer and not worry about drivers and software and all that stuff
it should just work that seems a bit better to me
i'm liking that black level flicker we're compensating for 60 hertz
50 hertz okay you can do 60 or 50 or off
it's now later in time and guess what nexigo sent us an iris model from the
production line instead of the pre-production line so now picture-in-picture is working so we get
to check it out i feel so privileged before this button was doing something
else on the pre-production model but now this button does auto
tr auto framing and this one does picture in picture and i've activated it
look there i am it's like a little mini me
good job buddy so the cool thing about this uh feature
is that if you're presenting in your corporate boardroom settings we all know
the place if this is my board like say i have a really important presentation
like it's a tech longer video remember those
pretend i have a presentation here i can zoom in
with the zoom zoom and now they're
everyone in the zoom call is is looking at my wondrous handwriting while i can
be over here and be like see you guys i'm going to go over this way
it's cutting the okay one minor complaint it's it wants to cut off the
top of my head or maybe that's just because there's a threshold for it to
move and then i can no see i'm trying to i'm trying to frame it properly and it's
like no no no get away from that yeah and when you're
done with that then you just press the the button again
boom auto framing turn it off and we're back
to normal that's pretty cool i would definitely use that to achieve synergy
in uh between the q2 and q3 uh
numbers now back to a previous riley that we've seen before
dynamic range now this is interesting this should be like the amount of colors
the the color range that you can have and when you go to zero you can
definitely see that things are a bit more muted
and as we go up we're getting more detail
but i definitely don't like how it looks oh i remember now so last time i did
this when i move my hands around i can see you can see the black shadow
behind my hand because i think it doesn't quite it's trying to show too
many colors at the high dynamic range level so let's go down to
it's good let's keep that at like five still got a little bit of that
shadow situation down on my hand here but i like that so there's your dynamic
range option uh and this camera is capable of HDR and it's also capable
of what's 3d noise reduction okay so noise reduction 2d noise reduction 3d
this is going to be another situation where people in the comments maybe know
exactly what the difference is between 3d and 2d noise reduction
here's a tech tip for you 2d noise reduction apparently uh looks
at basically just the single frame and tries to it's like a photo situation
where it's like reducing noise in the single frame in 3d noise reduction it's
it's using subsequent frames as well to
it's using more data basically to reduce the noise so let's go back and play
around with that so the downside to 3d noise reduction is that at high levels
uh apparently you're going to get some blurriness so that's actually i'm seeing
that yeah as i put that up i'm looking a little
bit smoother a little bit too smooth for my tastes i like thing i like to be a
little more jaggy thank you the other big feature that i wanted to
talk about was well first of all the
different scenes so this button right in the middle of the remote that switches
between different modes such as low light mode
which in their demo pictures they were using for like
more of a dramatic situation if we like had one key light and then shadow like
if you were if brandon was like lighting for a movie that's what this is for it's
dramatic it's cool you're like i know about film conference mode it's all
business okay you're wearing your business socks no jokes allowed
streaming mode okay i guess like i guess it cuts in i'm not sure exactly what
this is doing to the different presets i'm assuming that it's doing something
other than just kind of reframing things okay we want to check out the low light
performance but i think that might work the best with uncompressed 4k video what
do you think so we're going to switch to the HDMI connection and see how that
goes ready go okay so here we are we plugged in the HDMI cord um
you tell me if this looks any different because
uh it looks about the same to me and moreover i don't really have a way
we checked in the menu we don't really have a way of determining whether we're
actually recording it like an uncompressed thing anymore but we're using the HDMI
uh and um maybe it's a fail-safe looks pretty good
to me oh and the one thing we wanted to check out here is the low-light
performance because there is a low light uh compensation mode so brandon hit the
lights i mean it looks pretty good
exposure okay backlight oh i could have turned the backlight compensation on oh dynamic
range turn it up ah and this is where the dynamic range
comes in handy because now we're getting quite a bit of brightness
even in the dark situation i mean like you can tell that this is not like my
natural skin situation but when i turn it all the way down
you know you can see that if you have it at a sort of a high level that's not too
bad for a backlight compensation gain limit
oh and here's where the gain limit comes in when the when it was bright in here i
was turning the gain limit up and nothing was really was happening
and it's frozen but in a low light situation if you up the gain limit then
it's it's giving the system more resources it can use to up the
brightness which is great okay so like this is now we're at a low light
situation the lights are very dim and you know this is
this doesn't look amazing as it would if all the lights were on obviously but i
think this is more than passable if i wanted to do like a conference call for
business auto track on oh
yeah here's what we're talking about okay so like the nines n970p could also
do this but i think this one this one apparently has an ai chip embedded
i think i'm seeing a little bit more responsiveness as i move around
at our company we care a lot about corporate synergy
and quarterly earnings which is why i brought you over to
our company shelf and
our prize banana tree
okay honestly i'm i'm pretty impressed with even just the changes that this
makes over the last webcam from mexico that we covered on ShortCircuit uh the
colors i'm a little bit more happy with the auto framing the ai is able to track
me very well we've got some low light situation we've got some on board ai
processing the menu makes a little bit more sense to me this time around but
maybe that's just because i'm familiar with it but for 250 dollars
uh there's a lot of features packed in here that you know
you have to determine for yourself whether that's worth it for you but
uh not a bad price for something very advanced
