The Razer Kiyo V2 Pro arrives with 4K capture at 60 FPS with Sony STARVIS 2 sensor and 86-degree angle lens
Razer has launched the Kiyo V2 Proa webcam designed for content creators who broadcast at 4K resolution and 60 FPS. The idea is that, thanks to this new camera, you can do it without resorting to very complex configurations. Furthermore, also thinking about the streamingwhich is so often carried out in low light spacesRazer has opted for the sensor Sony STARVIS 2 to optimize light capture per pixel in dark environments. It is a sensor that manufacturers such as Elgato have also opted for.
The brand claims that, thanks to the use of this backlit sensor, it is possible to reduce motion blur in shots where there is movement and more efficiently manage electronic noise when light is low. To complement the work of the sensor, the device adds a UHDR system, that is, ultra high dynamic range, which balances contrasts. Thus, the camera prevents the image from burning or losing definition in the shadows during games in poorly lit rooms.
On the other hand, the optics mount an 86-degree wide-angle lens specifically designed to reduce geometric distortion at the edges. Therefore, it is possible to make wide shots without losing quality throughout the image.

Razer has designed this camera to be, above all, very practical
There are several details added to the Razer Kiyo V2 Pro that are worth highlighting, especially since they will make life easier for its buyers. For example, the camera is attached to screens or tripods using a universal pivoting base. It also incorporates a twist-operated physical privacy cover to lock the lens when the user concludes the live broadcast.
Also in the software section, it is worth noting that the camera has a one-click improvement system that automatically adjusts exposure levelswhite balance and grain reduction. For advanced users, the control panel offers manual parameters equivalent to a camera. In addition to these features, the manufacturer includes a subscription to Camo Pro to unlock additional predictive framing and automatic tracking tools.
