1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,980
I'm sorry anchor today we have the anchor work b600 what

2
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:13,259
is it video bar it's basically just a webcam but a pretty fancy webcam they

3
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:17,460
call it like a studio all-in-one kind of thing now this is video sponsored by

4
00:00:15,059 --> 00:00:22,560
anchor work and I agree to do this on one condition I get to take it apart at

5
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:24,060
the end so let's give her we have three

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:30,359
of them and one of them's not surviving the day oh fancy look at this download the

7
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:34,680
software I already did so it looks like that you get a variety of different

8
00:00:32,579 --> 00:00:38,840
chargers they didn't feel like localizing it for different regions so

9
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:46,379
you get a bunch of different options here we go oh oh yeah this thing's big

10
00:00:43,559 --> 00:00:50,100
look at this it has this kind of like I don't know what you call this fabric it

11
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:55,260
reminds me of um oh what was that really stupid PC that HP made ages ago they

12
00:00:53,640 --> 00:01:00,239
made an all-in-one that was like a trash can Mac but covered in fabric yeah

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:05,400
Brazilian wave yeah I think it's hilarious this has like a really

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,560
satisfying heft to it though feels decent there might be some aluminum in

15
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:14,880
here it feels like plastic how much does it cost 220 us so the basic operation is

16
00:01:12,540 --> 00:01:20,280
you have a light bar that flips up like that so it not only functions as a light

17
00:01:17,759 --> 00:01:22,799
bar but also a privacy filter so you don't have to worry about you know

18
00:01:21,299 --> 00:01:28,979
people looking at you through your webcam when it's off so in here you get

19
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:32,400
a 2K sensor so that's 1440p 16x9 that's

20
00:01:28,979 --> 00:01:34,920
way higher resolution than your laptop

21
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,960
camera probably is chances are it's like a 720p job maybe 1080p if you're lucky

22
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:43,740
what do you think the bit rates are Brandon and like Skype you're not

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,759
getting yeah you're not getting 4K through that but the better the image

24
00:01:45,659 --> 00:01:52,020
that you put in the better an image you are going to get out kind of no matter

25
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:56,340
what you also have four microphones in this I don't quite know what the layout

26
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:00,180
is but I'm guessing two of them are to pick up your voice and two of them are

27
00:01:58,259 --> 00:02:05,040
for noise canceling did you say there's speakers in this jono yep wow I wonder

28
00:02:03,299 --> 00:02:10,800
if those are any good first let's do a little Baseline reading here so here's

29
00:02:07,259 --> 00:02:13,200
our test this is the XPS 15 webcam and

30
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,520
uh if it can't beat this the video is not going up because this laptop has a

31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:22,560
terrible webcam it comes with this little like monitor clamp chummy but

32
00:02:20,459 --> 00:02:26,580
also in the bottom it has a quarter 20 thread so you can put it on a tripod or

33
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:31,260
something like that this is going to be really big for my laptop I feel like

34
00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:39,800
this is supposed to be used on like a desktop oh geez that's pretty what a

35
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:39,800
unit that is beautiful

36
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:46,080
oh I do wonder if it has Windows hello I didn't see it mentioned so I'm guessing

37
00:02:44,099 --> 00:02:49,140
not I also don't know if I can test that either way because this laptop has

38
00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:53,340
Windows hello and I think they'll get mad at each other one unfortunate thing

39
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,120
is that you have to have two USBS going into this I'm guessing because this

40
00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:01,260
light probably draws a little bit of current and the other one for data I do

41
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:05,340
appreciate that they included type c for this but I do kind of wish they had a

42
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:10,800
type c to a adapter yeah Riley take a look at this webcam

43
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:13,260
is it 4K no it's 1440p

44
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:19,500
it's definitely not 8K you're asking the wrong questions here Riley

45
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:23,540
it has a light bar oh yeah geez no one

46
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:23,540
wants an 8K webcam Riley go away

47
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:31,019
uh it seems like that the anchor software and OBS don't like each other

48
00:03:28,980 --> 00:03:35,040
very much so set up your settings in here close it and then start streaming

49
00:03:33,420 --> 00:03:39,299
if that's what you plan on using this for wow that's a lot better than the XPS

50
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:45,180
webcam like it damn well better be like a 200 webcam as opposed to one of the

51
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:50,180
worst laptop cameras but it's it is way better first of all let's just let's

52
00:03:47,459 --> 00:03:50,180
start with this light

53
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:58,379
okay that's not that's not doing a whole lot can we turn off the lights yeah so

54
00:03:55,620 --> 00:04:01,860
one tap on the side turns it on and off and there's a little slider in the

55
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:06,299
center that can change the brightness for you

56
00:04:04,439 --> 00:04:10,500
so it looks like I can change the color temperature

57
00:04:07,620 --> 00:04:14,459
let's try blue that's very blue looks kind of odd I personally like it right

58
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,560
around there it's a little bit on the warmer side but not too bad let's see

59
00:04:16,919 --> 00:04:24,060
what brightness does yeah that's a that's a brightness slider for sure now

60
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:29,940
sharpness oh geez that's a pretty scary let's

61
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:34,500
let's just turn that down saturation looks like I got a bad spray tan now if

62
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,880
that's what you're into um and going the other way I look like

63
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:42,900
I'm dead cool and finally the contrast ratio

64
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,500
let's go in here uh yep so I guess what we've learned is don't touch these

65
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,000
sliders because the auto settings are pretty good let's see here we have a

66
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,380
couple different field of views so 65 is

67
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,600
kind of zoomed in 78 is standard and

68
00:04:55,380 --> 00:05:04,320
looks fine to me and finally we have self frame how good is it let's find out

69
00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:06,600
come over here oh

70
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:11,100
hello can you zoom in anymore let's see

71
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:16,259
let me move over here aha it is tracking me hey jono do you want

72
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:19,440
to do a real world test yeah how do I sound you're looking all sharp yeah you

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,180
look all sharp I can see like almost like every strand of your ear

74
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:28,860
and like behind you the foam I can see all the foam bits yeah your forehead

75
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:33,479
looks super blown out so uh yeah you need to get one of these come come grab

76
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:37,860
the other one you sound the same like anywhere in that room

77
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:40,620
I don't know find out so I'm going to speak

78
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:46,620
and then I'm going to walk around the room so I'm going to talk and keep on

79
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:51,180
talking and walk around here and continue talking and let me know if that

80
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:55,500
sounded just totally fine as I did that the anchor webcam would just kind of

81
00:05:53,340 --> 00:06:00,360
like start boosting the audio so I can definitely hear that okay now let's try

82
00:05:57,300 --> 00:06:02,759
it with the one that's built into this

83
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,539
computer dude does that sound different yeah I can definitely hear some sort of

84
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,800
I think the fans going yeah the the capture laptop's really

85
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,940
given her can you hear me fine from over here yeah I can definitely tell that

86
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:21,539
you're far away look it and I do have noise suppression just totally off in

87
00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:23,280
teams so this is all webcam and not

88
00:06:21,539 --> 00:06:26,639
teams doing it sorry I'm getting distracted Jonah but I want to do a

89
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:32,840
little crab Rave for a second yeah this is better than a lot of laptops

90
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,840
switch to the XPS speakers

91
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:44,120
thank you

92
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:52,319
this is the sort of thing where like it's obviously not as loud or generally

93
00:06:49,259 --> 00:06:54,599
as good as the XPS 15 speakers but they

94
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:58,979
didn't do what a lot of small speakers do and make it sound terrible they could

95
00:06:56,940 --> 00:07:03,300
have easily made this twice as loud probably by overdriving the speakers and

96
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:06,720
having it just be a distorted mess but instead it's like pretty clean I'm

97
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:11,639
guessing for conference calls it'll be more than adequate all right second

98
00:07:08,220 --> 00:07:14,940
unboxing I'm sorry Mr webcam for what's

99
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:17,580
about to happen to you but uh

100
00:07:14,940 --> 00:07:21,780
I Wanna Have Some Fun first thing it appears that you can take this base off

101
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,220
we'll start with that I have a bad feeling we're going to have to do a

102
00:07:24,300 --> 00:07:29,639
little bit of cutting here soon there's a way to get in through here that would

103
00:07:28,259 --> 00:07:36,060
be amazing there even oh it's another quarter 20 on the bottom though that's nice to see I'm sorry anchor

104
00:07:34,259 --> 00:07:38,360
this is never going back together the same way

105
00:07:42,060 --> 00:07:49,979
okay so the back has a couple plastic clips and a lot of tape oh it's actually

106
00:07:47,819 --> 00:07:54,539
kind of like foamy tape as well so it probably helps a bit with uh the sound

107
00:07:52,500 --> 00:07:57,840
of it is this oh comes apart right like that oh there's

108
00:07:56,699 --> 00:08:01,139
our speakers look at these so they're packaged on

109
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:06,419
either end firing outwards I guess which is kind of

110
00:08:04,319 --> 00:08:10,199
strange but at the same time like where else are you going to put them here got

111
00:08:08,220 --> 00:08:15,599
a little metal shield here that's probably just for Emi compliance crap so

112
00:08:13,740 --> 00:08:19,979
just making sure that this doesn't you know put out random electromagnetic

113
00:08:17,940 --> 00:08:23,639
radiation crap and doesn't accept it either oh this also acts as a little

114
00:08:21,660 --> 00:08:27,419
heat spreader so we're cooling these two chips right here and this right here has

115
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:33,180
a little bit of foam on top probably just to keep this clipping oh this one

116
00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:34,860
right here is a USB interface chip that

117
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:38,940
makes sense there's probably just do power management crap we didn't need to

118
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:44,039
cut the mesh that was just unfortunate before you say it in the

119
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:46,459
comments I am not water cooling a webcam

120
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:53,880
so right here we have the rock chip RV 1126 apparently it's a quad core that

121
00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:56,580
has 2.0 tops I don't know what tops are

122
00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:00,420
but oh this is a risk 5 processor that's sick we did a video with them a while

123
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,080
ago and they're integrating their chips into a bunch of different you know stuff

124
00:09:02,339 --> 00:09:08,760
like this where you don't necessarily need all the overhead of ARM or x86

125
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:12,480
chips and you just want to you know get an image off of it it looks like this

126
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:17,100
xmos chip right here is what is doing all of the AI processing but it is super

127
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:21,000
cool that they're doing the AI processing on chip instead of in their

128
00:09:19,380 --> 00:09:24,660
software so it'll just work when you plug it in instead of having to install

129
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:29,940
anchor software for it to work which makes sense do you do there's the

130
00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:34,380
speakers now on to the star of the show though let's take a look at this sensor

131
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:38,459
here's the camera module crack it open I want to see how big the sensor is we got

132
00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:42,000
to go all the way yeah so I just broke the lens off it seems like that they

133
00:09:39,899 --> 00:09:46,440
attached it just using a couple bits of solder which makes sense it looks like

134
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:51,060
at the back here we have the IR filter every digital camera is an infrared

135
00:09:49,019 --> 00:09:56,040
camera you just need to filter that out otherwise everyone looks super weird it

136
00:09:53,820 --> 00:09:58,680
seems like this is a voice coil you probably can't really tell but the

137
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,640
autofocus is done by moving this in and out ever

138
00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:07,079
so slightly and I'm guessing it's done in a similar

139
00:10:04,860 --> 00:10:13,079
way to how a speaker works and finally we have the sensor yeah there it is it's

140
00:10:09,779 --> 00:10:14,820
so little just Powers the light and the

141
00:10:13,079 --> 00:10:19,860
rest of this looks like it just goes towards the touch controls on the sides

142
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:26,160
and the front so there you go check your work b600 at the link down below uh

143
00:10:23,579 --> 00:10:29,279
it looks like this or like this on the inside huge thanks for letting us take

144
00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:32,579
it apart guys if you have another video that you want to watch go watch the walk

145
00:10:30,839 --> 00:10:35,600
car that was fun tons of word for it
