Elgato has introduced Facecam Pro, a webcam that offers 4K capture at 60 frames per second.
Offering a large area Sony sensor, a wide-angle photographic lens with variable focus, and onboard flash memory, the plug-and-play webcam allows creators to produce UHD video without the need for an elaborate camera setup.
Facecam Pro features the studio-grade f/2.0 21 mm Elgato Autofocus Lens, which can also be set manually within a focus range of 10 cm / 4 in. to infinity.
A field of view up to 90 degrees allows for wide studio shots or group video calls, while the large area 1/1.8-in Sony Starvis Sensor captures detail, even when using effects like pan, tilt, and zoom, or when lighting is suboptimal.
Elgato’s latest image signal processo is responsible for encoding and streaming 4K60 video via USB 3.0 with low latency – all while facilitating instant light correction, and automatic noise reduction. Even when using apps that do not support 4K60 video input, the processor applies an advanced algorithm that turns raw 4K60 video into 1080p60 video.
