today I'm a videoblog we'll be unboxing a new product from Microsoft that's actually pretty exciting this is the LifeCam cinema and the biggest feature on this camera is that it is true 720p HD with clear smooth video so basically what that means is webcams are finally HD so let's get this baby open and actually you know what let's have a look at the back first so here it outlines some of the important new features of this particular webcam first of all you got 720p which we already mentioned at 30 frames per second world world-class optics so they're using an actual glass element lens rather than a plastic lens which is what you typically see on a webcam clear high quality video they show an example of clear versus standard video now one moment we're actually going to do our next unboxing using this camera so we'll see exactly how good that clear high quality video is next is you've got crystal-clear audio so they're saying they've got a digital noise cancelling microphone right on the top of the aluminum unit so let's get this baby open and here we go so first we're going to find the USB cable covered in a little sticker that protects it presumably and it also warns you that you should install the driver software before you plug in the webcam okay so there's our little genuine Microsoft shiny sticker gotta love that okay what else do we have in here oh I see what looks like a disc so it's in about a zillion different languages most of which I cannot read but I found this start here excellent okay so let's open this up kind of a that's kind of a clever little box it opens up like that and here we go start here again so this is your Quick Start Guide and it's gonna just create it up here so that I can reach a little bit better so it shows you okay you install the driver you plug in the USB then you position your camera and then presumably you use it okay they want you to use MSN Messenger that's perfectly appropriate there we go there's your life cam people enjoy software you're probably better off to download the latest drivers off the Microsoft website however okay and then a product guide okay so let's get to the product itself so let's pull it out of the packaging here I can yeah there we go and then we've got a little plastic window so that it can present the product in a retail store and then I'm gonna have to try and figure out how this comes off wow that's a four step process so there we go we've removed that piece and then we can go like this and oh no there we go there we go and then we can remove this no we can't remove the plastic piece okay so we're gonna just pull the cable out which I can not quite do yet okay there okay we finally got it out but I still have it in a little Oh a plastic clamshell comes off right there and there is awesome oh this is cool actually here it's got a flexible little stand here so you can actually hook it on to anything it's got a pretty good feel to it it's kind of rubberized so it's really really grippy and that's really neat you know what we've got a monitor right here I'm just gonna get the cameraman to point it to monitor so I can demonstrate just how this works so you hook it up the front and then you just throw the little grippy bit on there and you can aim it at any angle you want and it actually rotates here as well so that's that's a really cool mounting system I really like that and then there's one button on the top which has a picture of a phone and and a phone okay and then you've got a microphone and that is it that is the unit itself there's your little HD logo you can see the glass lens in there just gonna turn it around so we'll see you can actually turn it all the way around and thank you for checking out my unboxing of the LifeCam cinema
