Our take on the Sony CMU-BR100

by Steve Kindig

Simply connect the CMU-BR100 camera/microphone unit to your compatible Sony HDTV and start making Skype™ voice and video calls. You can make and receive free Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls, as well as low-cost SkypeOut calls to regular telephone numbers — all from the comfort of your couch. You can even make calls while you're watching TV.

You'll be impressed by the crisp, clear HD picture — it's 720p resolution. And four integrated unidirectional microphones capture lifelike sound. The CMU-BR100 plugs into your TV's USB connection — it's a cinch to set up and use.

This unit also matches the look of your new Sony TV. You can attach it directly to the TV using the supplied Velcro fastener, or use it free-standing. The CMU-BR100's tilt and swivel capability mean you won't be chained to your chair every time you make a call. Works with 2011 and newer TV models. Dimensions: 7-3/8"W x 1-3/8"H x 1-7/8"D. Warranty: 1 year.

Sony Tv Webcam - BR100

Written By Karthik, Jacksonville, FL on Sunday, April 21, 2013
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
 
BR100 is a tiny powerful for Skype on TV. Easy to install, just hook up the USB cable into TV slot, thats it, you all set to do video chat on your big tv (you should have apps like Skype, facebook..etc are installed in your tv.). Satisfied in all the aspects.
Pros:
Easy to setup, and not visible from the position you sit, so does not distract from watching videos. voice clarity is amazing and live action captured (30fps)
Cons:
720p from BR100 unit on a 1080p tv felt like missing video quality a bit. No option other than BR100 unit from Sony.
