The Opal C1 is a portable webcam engineered to elevate the video-conference experience. The high-resolution 4K image is paired with onboard processing to mimic the appearance of professional studio photography setups. Opal’s software enables balanced studio lighting, accurate color, and the natural optical bokeh effect of high-quality camera lenses. The audio path is likewise optimized through a combination of hardware and software using a multi-microphone array and onboard processing to clarify and isolate the user’s voice and subdue background noises. The onboard processing affords features that exceed even studio setups, such as face tracking, reframing, and gesture control capability.
