Razer launches upgraded webcam
Razer is introducing the Kiyo V2 Pro, an upgraded version of its Kiyo V2 webcam designed to compete with smaller dedicated video cameras and increasingly capable smartphones.
Sixty fps capture and better low light
The Kiyo V2 Pro costs three hundred dollars and captures four K video at sixty fps, reducing blur. It uses Sony's eight point three megapixel STARVIS two sensor with an f slash one point nine aperture lens for improved low-light performance.
AI auto-framing keeps you centered
The webcam includes auto-framing with integrated intelligent pan, tilt and zoom to keep users in frame tastefully, similar to recent iPhones' FaceTime calls.
One-click enhancement and dynamic range
Like recent Razer mics, the Kiyo V2 Pro offers one-click output enhancement that automatically handles exposure, white balance and noise depending on your environment. It also captures ultra-high dynamic range to pull out more detail regardless of lighting.
Field of view trade-off for image quality
Razer reduced the field of view from ninety three degrees on the V2 to eighty six degrees to maintain image quality at four K and reduce fisheye lens effects at the outer edges of the frame.
Available now with flexible mounting
The Kiyo V2 Pro is on sale now at Razer dot com and other retailers. It includes a clamp for monitor and laptop edges, a universal tripod mount and an integrated privacy shutter.
The key point
Razer released the Kiyo V2 Pro webcam at three hundred dollars, featuring sixty fps four K capture, Sony's STARVIS two sensor and AI auto-framing to keep pace with rival cameras.
