I chose this over the much hyped YoLo Liv because, for my use, it seems to be better value.
I used the Lyra for a Teamscall this morning, the picture is very clear and now I really need to shave every morning!
The separate microphone has not been used yet because prefer to use an iPhone headset or a BCM 104 Neumann anyway. But it seems like a great idea if the sound is good.
I usually make all Teamscalls on a high-spec MacBookPro. For a fixed location set-up I wanted a Webcam with a digital zoom. This Lyra performs the zoom through the separate Holly Studio software by adjusting the "focal length".
Software:
Only four stars for the operation because I found the installation of the separate software for Mac very clunky. This is not a Thomann issue.
Reading the postage stamp sized instructions I was led to the Hollyland website. From here a software called "HollyView" was listed as correct for the Lyra. But this programme does not recognise the Lyra and seems to be for the higher end Hollyland products.
I think i downloaded the Holly Studio for OS from the Apple App-Store.
The functions are very basic but do the job and I do not need the green-screen function. (This at the moment is not available on the Mac OS, only Windows.)
