Live Streamer CAM 513 is a 4K UHD video capable webcam with a built-in wide-angle lens, privacy shutter, dual stereo microphones, and a 360-degree rotatable design. It comes equipped with CamEngine, AVerMedia’s software that gives users full control over video and image settings, to help creators unlock the capabilities of their 4K sensor. Its plug and play design also makes it compatible with streaming software, including OBS, Streamlabs OBS, XSplit, and more.
The CAM 513 takes full advantage of the Sony Exmor R 4K CMOS sensor, with F2.8 aperture, to deliver the best 4K video quality for live streaming and content creation. The 94-degree wide-angle lens allows users to capture stunning landscapes or group photos. With no additional lenses or equipment required to achieve these wide shots, the CAM 513 is ideal for shooting in tight spaces. Its 360-degree swivel design also makes it easy to get the perfect angle. Thanks to the integrated privacy shutter, content creators can rest easy, as it is now easier than ever to better protect themselves against potential webcam hackers or content thieves.
The power of AI
To take full advantage of both the Sony 4K sensor and the wide-angle lens, AVerMedia has added new features to CamEngine, specifically for use with the CAM 513. In addition to adjusting image settings, using fun stickers, and adding filters, AVerMedia has also developed new AI and ePTZ motion tracking features. Zooming in on the subject while shooting can cause problems and affect the quality of the produced video, such as being too grainy until out of focus. The ePTZ function allows creators to determine presets for different portions of digital zoom from the 4K sensor.
The AI Motion Tracking feature will unlock the Auto Framing feature, tracking your subject’s face and movements to keep them perfectly framed. No need to stay rooted in one place or continually adjust the camera position to make sure the frame remains in the center.
The streamers’ dream
The group of users who can benefit the most from AVerMedia’s latest webcam are Youtubers and streamers on gaming platforms like Twitch. The ePTZ function of the camera is particularly interesting for a game interface where there is a lot of activity on a relatively small screen. The included RECentral streaming software enables streaming to multiple streaming platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook at the same time. RECentral supports multiple overlays, including webcam feed and channel logo, and allows multiple streams with different resolutions or bit rates, all from a streaming PC.
The CAM 513 webcam combined with CamEngine also provides a variety of benefits for educators in an increasingly virtual world. Due to COVID-19 some schools and universities are closing their doors, and some teachers are turning to virtual means to keep classes going. CamEngine can be used with any video content sharing platform, be it YouTube, Zoom or Teams, In addition, CamEngine’s AI motion tracking feature allows teachers to get another dimension of classroom movement online, as if was really there. By having a camera that can follow you while you teach, there is no need to sit at a desk in front of your laptop or worry about half of the writing on the board getting cut off or out of reach. Opening the entire classroom means there is more space to teach effectively and enhance online learning experiences, as remote education becomes an essential need today globally.
Medical professionals
Not only content creators or hobbyists can make use of the CAM 513, professionals in the medical and business world can also benefit from crystal clear sound and video quality. Working from home was considered an advantage for many employees, and now our houses have become our offices and our kitchen tables have become desks. Video conferencing takes place on a daily basis, so making sure you have the correct camera and sound is key to making you see and hear efficiently.
The 4K UHD video capabilities of the CAM 513 go hand-in-hand with AVerMedia’s AM310 USB Microphone. Easy to set up, the AM310 helps you sound like a pro with real-time audio monitoring and one-way voice monitoring. Not only is the voice perfectly captured, but it rejects unwanted sounds to avoid buzzing like the one from the coffee machine or the barking of a dog in the next room. Also, if not everyone is able to attend a meeting or there is a large video conference, the BU Extreme Cap series capture cards can record and share DSLR camera content.
