  Anyone know how this is different to the standard Brio, or is this just the replacement model?

    I thought wow did I really pay this much for a Brio and your comment makes me realise this is an “Ultra”.

    Looks to be small little differences.
    

    Brio	MX Brio
    4K/30fps (up to 4096 x 2160 pixels)	4K/30fps (3840x2160 pixels)
    Built-in mic: Stereo	Dual Beamforming microphone for noise reduction
    Digital zoom: 5x	Hardware zoom: 4x digital zoom
    Rightlight 3 with HDR for clear image in various lighting environments ranging from low light to direct sunlight.	RightLight 5 with face-based image enhancement: auto-focus, HDR, white balance, exposure, for a clear image in various lighting environments ranging from low light to direct sunlight
    Focus type: Autofocus	Focus type: Advanced Autofocus

    Just some of the things I picked out.

    Not sure if it is really worth the upgrade. If you have a Brio currently, I guess keep it. If you are upgrading and want 4K, got the MX Brio

      Err..huge differences to me, not small at all. MX has hardware zoom vs digital zoom that's a huge one to image quality. Beamforming mics if well designed makes a huge difference to sound on the other side too.

      I run a facecam (Elgato) so I have no bias, but if image quality and sound matters I feel MX has big enhancements over non MX Brio.

      Brio also doesn't have a physical shutter?

      FWIW Logi is a marketing company…so we don't know the quality till we see some comparisons

    It's better out of the box by far in terms of colour accuracy, but overall it's like most older 4K webcams in that the sensor is not well implemented. Here's a solid review.

    The Razer Kiyo Pro Ultra is a better product, and is slowly coming down in price in countries that allow third parties to sell it. If it reached $400 I would probably recommend it compared to this deal.

    Outside of this, the new Elgato Facecam Neo seems to do a good job for the price, but until you're getting up to the Kiyo Pro Ultra levels, you're probably better off spending about $8 USD and getting access to one of a couple of paid apps that unlocks 4K webcam quality from your smartphone, then buying a stand for that and putting in on charge while you use it.

    Plenty of software to link your phone to your PC, and if you're completely invested in the Apple ecosystem, you don't even need to spend the extra $8, just use Continuity Camera.

      Razor cameras are great. BUT!!! Just make sure you are happy with the worst customer service you have ever experienced when buying a razor camera.

  a lot of money for a webcam that doesn't support Windows Hello

      Brio 4K does but the MX Brio doesn’t though I thought.

      yeah you're talking about a different brio

  •

    Totally agree. Can’t imagine bandwidth required to stream decent 4K video, probably 20MB/s or 200mbps upload? If apply limit to upstream bitrate, I suspect quality might not be much better compared to 1080p, not sure what’s the point?

    • 

      jasswolf on 03/09/2024 - 23:00

      If it handled compression decently you could make it work with 80-120 megabit/s, but USB bandwidth is easily 5-10 gigabit on ports these days, so it's not really an issue of bandwidth, just how processing and compression are implemented and the quality of the sensor and lens.

        Wasn’t doubting USB but internet speed. Millions around Australia are on internet plans less than 100/20mbps, even 80mbps upload is going to be very challenging. I personally have not looked into internet plans that allows for 80 or 100 or 200mbps upload, maybe some 1Gbps plans have such allowance?

        Anyway, probably someone may find this useful and good value, I’m just not convinced it is. It does have crop function, maybe that’s useful? Reminds me of iPad’s center-stage front camera where it crops and tracks your movements, looks cool but all my colleagues complained it was distracting and made them dizzy…

          @[Deactivated]: No one's transferring the raw or meagrely compressed video feed from a webcam directly onto the internet. GPUs in phones, TVs, set top boxes, and PCs (whether dedicated or integrated) come with built-in hardware encoders and decoders, and modern codecs such as HEVC and AV1 are built to make 4K30 video highly compressed.

          A simple image of a person's face with a static background can be done at about 6000 kbps without significant quality loss, and 4k60 high motion footage can be done via AV1 at about 20 Mbps. In the near-future, such machines will have ML/AI based methodologies for taking a single keyframe at the start of a call and then reconstructing a person's facial animations from specialised low bitrate footage, which will increase the compression ratio as much as 800:1.

          So video calling is about to become completely mainstream, but again from a webcam like this you're getting pretty noisy and lossy 4K video and I would not recommend this camera for that reason.

          Finally, 100/20 NBN tier is about to become 500/50, so that also alleviates the typical consumer's bottleneck, even in scenarios where notably lossy and/or specific AI compression are not applicable.

  I assume you can only adjust this via the Logitech app, right? So my locked-down work laptop is still going to have awful colour balance and edgelord contrast settings.

    If its like the razor cams, you can set up your settings and it remembers it when you plug it in elsewhere
