Just ahead of the anticipated reveal of the Insta360 Ace Pro 2 action camera, leaks have emerged detailing two new webcams from the company – the Link 2 and Link 2C.
The leaks suggest the Insta360 Link 2 is the more feature-packed option among the two. It will have an Auto Framing feature, which utilizes a built-in gimbal and AI to keep you (or your colleagues) in the center of the frame during calls.
Additionally, Link 2 is said to have a Whiteboard Mode that leverages AI to optimize the visibility of whiteboard content. With the growing popularity of remote collaboration, this feature could be a boon for educators and business professionals.
The leaks further detail features like Portrait Mode and uncropped 4K vertical video feature for the growing popularity mobile-first content creation. Security-conscious users will likely appreciate the Privacy Mode, which automatically tilts the gimbal down after 10 seconds of inactivity or allows for manual control.
Notably, Link 2 also offers a DeskView Mode for capturing desk content, potentially useful for product demos or showcasing physical materials during presentations.
Moreover, you will get an AI Noise Cancellation is another feature highlighted in the leaks to improve voice clarity by filtering out unwanted background sounds. Additionally, the leaks suggest that Link 2 utilizes a 2-axis gimbal with AI Tracking to keep subjects in focus even while moving around.
The Link 2C, on the other hand, prioritizes compactness while still packing a punch. Leaks suggest it will boast 4K UHD Resolution with Auto-Adjust Framing, ensuring users remain in the shot. An HDR Mode is also rumored, offering improved dynamic range in various lighting conditions.
Fast and accurate focusing seems likely with the inclusion of a PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) system. The Link 2C reportedly adds a layer of interactivity with Gesture Control, allowing users to control settings with hand movements.
Unlike the Link 2’s gimbal-based privacy solution, the Link 2C features a built-in privacy shutter for a more traditional approach. Both versions are expected to offer USB-C connectivity and come with a magnetic mount for easy placement.
