#RAZER STAR GAZER PRO#
However, in order to really test the Stargazer, I played test runs of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Overwatch on the Razer Blade Pro in two different lighting situations: our bright lab and a darkened room while streaming with XSplit Gamecaster. Razer recommends using a second streaming PC, if you have one, to avoid any performance issues.

The Stargazer can capture you at 60 frames per second at 720p or 30 frames per second at 1080p, just like the C922, though that doesn't change your gameplay's stream rate. The C922 was far more likely to clip off an ear or part of my hair than the Stargazer, which pretty much always had an exact cutout of my head and shoulders. Even then, it wasn't as precise as when it removed the background. I often had to start that webcam several times before it would recognize me, though it would usually be consistent afterward. The effect was instantaneous, with no setup required.That's far better than the C922, which was finicky to set up. The Stargazer removed the world behind me just as if I were sitting in front of a green screen. The technology Razer and Intel use to strip the background in a shot is head and shoulders above the competition. But if you're looking to live-stream, you'll have to find some streaming software, like Razer Cortex or XSplit Gamecaster, both of which have RealSense support built in. That site mostly links to experimental face-scanning apps that you can download - along with a handful of games, like NBA 2K16 or Lego Portal Racers - that use facial scanning or gesture recognition.

Synapse does have a link to a web page with software that uses Intel RealSense. There are a few adjustment sliders in Synapse to change saturation, contrast and other image options, but otherwise, you won't need to touch it too much. If you already have a Razer mouse or keyboard, this will be dead-simple. The only requirement is Razer Synapse, the company's program for configuring all of its laptops and peripherals. Razer doesn't include too much software with the camera. I couldn't hear my colleagues typing in a recording I made, for example, and there was less feedback than what I got on the C922 (which was already minimal). What I could see with the C922, I saw with great detail and color accuracy.īoth cameras have great microphones, but the Stargazer wins out here because it's better at filtering out ambient noise. While I could see slightly more with the Stargazer, Razer's camera was completely and utterly defeated by grain and noise.
The Stargazer also failed to compete with the C922 in low-light settings. It's better than a laptop's built-in webcam, but doesn't hold a candle to the C922, which delivers better color and details so sharp that I could see individual hairs in my beard.
The camera had a hard time focusing on my hair and parts of my face, however, which resulted in fuzzy details. However, the camera has strong color accuracy: It captured the exact shade of my olive-green sweater.
#RAZER STAR GAZER 1080P#
You won't be the sharpest-looking streamer on Twitch, but your Skype calls will be crystal-clear.When I snapped some photos with the Stargazer in the Laptop Mag labs, I appeared slightly blurry in the 1080p shots. The Stargazer takes decent photos and videos, and it offers great sound. I had to click on the facial-recognition option for the camera to turn on and scan me, which makes the whole process far less seamless. But there's one glitch: After the PC was asleep for a while, the camera dozed off and wasn't ready to go. It works great, and I tested it in both bright and pitch-dark rooms.
Besides streaming, one of the benefits of using Intel RealSense is that you can use the infrared camera with Windows Hello to make a facial scan that will enable you to log in to your PC.
