We've all been spending more and more time on video calls. So with the new iMac, it was important
to us to enhance the core technologies that keep us connected. Let's start with the camera.
iMac now has a 1080p FaceTime HD Camera which doubles the resolution, for much higher quality
video. And with and larger sensor, the camera performs great in low light. The camera is
paired with M1, which has Apple's latest image signal processor, or ISP. This works to further
enhance the image quality with computational video. Let's take a look at the processing pipeline.
As you use the camera, the ISP goes through a serious of steps to analyze and enhance each pixel,
at over a trillion operations per second. For example, it works with M1's Neural Engine to
make more intelligent exposure and white balance adjustments, so your lighting is always just
right. It utilizes advanced noise reduction algorithms to bring a new level of clarity to your
video. And it uses tone mapping to deliver enhanced dynamic range, bringing more detail to bright
highlights and dark shadows. This camera will make you look like a rock star. In fact,
it's the best camera we've ever put in a Mac. And to complement the camera, we gave iMac
a studio-quality, three-mic array. The mics are engineered to reduce feedback from the rest
of the system, so conversations flow more naturally, and you'll interrupt each other less.
And beamforming allows these mics to better ignore background noise and focus on your voice,
which means you'll come through loud and clear on video calls, or when recording an audio track.
This is also the best mic system ever in a Mac. Now, with this amazing camera and mic array,
you know we leveled up the speakers too. To create big, room-filling sound, speakers need to
displace a lot of air. In order to do this, we increased the power driving the iMac's
sound system. Now, while iMac needed to have big sound, it also had to deliver accurate sound.
So we gave it two pairs of force-cancelling woofers that produce an incredible bass response while
reducing unitended vibrations from that increased power. And we balanced each set with a
high-performance tweeter. The result is a six-speaker system that produces a massive soundstage
with strong, articulate bass and crystal-clear mids and highs. All of these speaker innovations,
coupled with advanced algorithms, enable iMac to support spatial audio when playing video
with Dolby Atmos. On the beautiful 4.5K Retina display, it's an outstanding movie-watching
experience. With its dramatic improvements in balance, vocal clarity, and instrument separation,
iMac delivers a remarkable robust and high-quality audio experience. Simply put, it's the best
sound system ever in a Mac, and we can't wait for you to hear it. Back to you, Colleen.
