    What's the story

    At CES 2023, consumer electronics brand, Razer introduced a new 4K webcam, named Kiyo Pro Ultra.

    The device packs a 1/1.2-inch Sony Starvis 2 sensor, which is the "biggest ever sensor in a webcam," claims the brand. It delivers uncompressed 4K videos at 24fps.

    The webcam is now available for purchase at $299.99 (nearly Rs. 24,700) via the brand's official store and retail channels.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Razer is promising a DSLR-like video output with the Kiyo Pro Ultra.

    Along with the high-quality video footage, the brand claims that the webcam allows users to enjoy realistic-looking bokeh effects and strong low-light performance.

    With these claims, it raises the bar for rivals like Logitech.

    The premium webcam will tempt advanced content creators and live streamers.

    Design

    The webcam offers a twist-to-close privacy shutter

    The Kiyo Pro Ultra is a plug-and-play device, resembling a DSLR in looks, with 82- to 72-degree field-of-view.

    It shares the design details with the Kiyo Pro from 2021. However, the webcam comes with a twist-to-close privacy shutter. Additionally, it is equipped with an omnidirectional microphone.

    The device's features can be customized using Synapse, which is the webcam's companion app for PCs.

    If you, as a user, want to customize your Kiyo Pro Ultra's settings, you can use the companion app, Synapse. It will let you tweak the digital zoom and enable the AI face-tracking feature. It also allows customizations for shutter speed, exposure, and responsiveness.

    Highlights

    The device gets onboard memory for storage

    The Kiyo Pro Ultra boasts a 1/1.2-inch Sony Starvis 2 sensor with an f/1.7 aperture.

    The webcam allows natural-looking bokeh footage, while also offering solid low-light performance.

    It delivers uncompressed 4K video at 24fps and also captures 1440p footage at 30fps. With HDR mode turned on, it can deliver 1080p videos at 60fps/30fps.
