Logitech’s
MX
Brio
is
a
new
$199.99
(£219.99
/
€229)
4K
webcam
aimed
at
everyone
from
remote
workers
to
streamers.
Key
specs
include
the
ability
to
stream
in
4K
at
30fps
or
1080p
at
60fps,
an
aperture
of
f/2.0,
and
an
aluminum
unibody
design
that
kind
of
looks
a
little
like
a
kazoo
if
you
squint
at
it.
Since
it’s
2024,
Logitech
is
naturally
advertising
some
AI-powered
technology
in
the
MX
Brio.
The
webcam’s
“face-based
image
enhancement”
is
designed
to
automatically
detect
the
position
of
your
face
within
the
frame
of
the
webcam
and
adjust
its
picture’s
white
balance,
exposure,
and
focus
accordingly.
But
there
have
also
been
hardware
improvements,
with
the
company
advertising
that
the
pixels
in
its
new
webcam’s
8.5-megapixel
sensor
are
70
percent
larger
than
Logitech’s
previous
flagship
Brio
4K
webcam.
Logitech’s
new
webcam
offers
4K
/
30fps
recording
and
a
built-in
privacy
shutter.Image:
Logitech
Other
features
include
a
physical
privacy
shutter
and
a
“Show
Mode”
that
automatically
reorients
the
view
from
the
webcam
when
titled
down
to
properly
show
your
desk.
The
webcam
is
also
equipped
with
a
pair
of
beamforming
mics
to
focus
on
just
your
voice
during
calls
and
uses
a
detachable
USB-C
cable
to
connect
to
a
computer.
However,
unlike
the
previous
flagship
Brio,
there’s
no
support
for
Windows
Hello
facial
recognition,
and
you
also
can’t
record
at
4K
/
60fps
like
Elgato’s
competing
$299.99
Facecam
Pro.
There
are
also
manual
image
controls
available
via
Logitech’s
Options
Plus
or
G
Hub
software
if
you’d
rather
take
matters
into
your
own
hands,
with
the
ability
to
adjust
elements
like
the
webcam’s
field
of
view,
exposure,
shutter
speed,
ISO,
color
temperature,
contrast,
saturation,
and
sharpness.
It’s
also
possible
to
access
an
auto-framing
feature
on
the
MX
Brio
through
the
Logi
Tune
software.
Logitech’s
new
MX
Brio
webcam
is
available
starting
today,
where
it’ll
join
Logitech’s
MX
mice
and
keyboards.
Between
them,
the
company
is
building
up
quite
the
MX-branded
collection.
