We’re excited to take a major step today toward delivering on our promise to bring HD video to anyone – consumers and businesses – on any screen, by unveiling the first complete HD video-calling experience on the PC with our new family of. Watch this video from Tim Leehane, director of product marketing for webcams, as he shares all the cool features of our new HD webcams – including video capturing, one-click HD upload to Facebook and YouTube, and more: As we’ve, Logitech Vid HD will be pre-installed on the Logitech companion box for Google TV (coming this fall), enabling TV-to-TV and TV-to-PC video calling. And we will also bring by the end of the year. We believe video calling can be as mainstream and easy as a phone call but to date there have been two major barriers for massive consumer adoption – quality and ubiquity! With our announcement today of HD video calling on the PC and with our plans for the TV, smartphone, and the meeting room, we truly believe we can deliver on the vision of HD video communications for anyone, anywhere! Tim The video you posted to YouTube is a paltry 360p, and starts with the opening line of “and if you’re amazed by the quality of this video.”. And even in this blog post, you state “as he shares all the cool features of our new HD webcams – including HD 1080p video capturing, one-click HD upload to Facebook and YouTube, and more”.
None of that is covered in the video at all. Am I watching something different? The only thing I’m amazed by, is how your marketing department could get it so epically wrong. Still not all bad, I remain hopeful for a good product as the Logitech line usually don’t disappoint. And, some of the other things you mention in your post, I’m on board with – mainly quality and ubiquity, the latter being the most important. Tim Leehane Hi Pritesh, Apologies in the delay in my response. The experience you get chatting on Skype will be related to several factors–the quality of the camera, the performance of your PC and the speed of your internet connection.
The Acer Revo HTPC uses a lower power Intel Atom processor, so the PC itself is not powerful enough to achieve 720p during a video call. However, you should still be able to do great-looking VGA (640 x 480 pixels) video calls with no trouble. Our new HD cameras will still look great and should work great for VGA-quality video chats. The microphones on our webcams are designed for optimal performance when used from a distance of around 3ft–but they will still work at longer distances.
Logitech Vid For Macbook
As long as your room isn’t too big–and if you spend some time adjusting the microphone gain in both Skype and your Windows Audio control panel–you should be able to do a video chat in the environment you described. For this specific case, I would recommend the HD Pro Webcam C910, since it has two microphones and better audio performance. Giorgio Hello, I know that a question about Linux has already been answered. But I still would like to know if the new Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 has been tested on Linux and if it worked. I ask here because unfortunately I can’t find anything about this on Google. I want to buy a new webcam and I am considering the HD Pro Webcam C190. But it is very important for me that it work on Linux for at least VGA-quality video calls using Skype or similar software and for video recording.
An answer would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Phillip Looks interesting, but as a linux user I really need to know if/how it works in linux. I have seen your answer to the other linux questions. But even if you don’t officially support linux, I think it would be fair so tell how well it works in linux. I’m sure you have some linux boxes running at the logitech offices? Wouldn’t be to hard to find out. Anyway that is what good customer service is all about And by the way.
I’ve bought quite a few of your high-end devices before. Might be arrogant to say this but I kinda feel like I deserve good customer service 🙂 Thanks. Tim Leehane UPDATED RESPONSE: My apologies Manfred, I was just looking through the comments and saw my previous message to you did not make ANY sense. I must have not posted my entire response or some how got my responses mixed up. Here’s the actual, (and probably more helpful) response: The camera will send whatever resolution the application requests in UVC mode. In other words, it depends on the resolutions supported by the Linux application you are using to capture or stream video. If the application supports 720p and requests it from the C910, then it should work fine.
I’m not familiar with the Camerashots application, so I recommend checking with the developer of that application to see what UVC resolutions they support. Stereo audio can also be supported if the USB audio capture driver in your Linux distribution supports stereo audio (as well as the application you are using to capture the audio).
Logitech Vid For Mac Download
Best, Tim Hi Manfred, Please see my response to Manfred above. Kiwilegal You say that “Hi JC, The HD Pro Webcam C910 will broadcast in HD 720p using Vid HD on the Mac assuming that there is enough bandwidth (at least 1Mbps upload and 1Mbps download on both sides) and CPU power (2.4GHz Intel Core Duo CPU). Best, Tim” The video presentation from Logitech I saw led me to believe that ANY core duo CPU should suffice for HD720P chatting with Logitech Vid. I have two Mac Minis, one with 2.26Ghz CPU and one with 1.83Ghz CPU). So wondering if I could attach two HD Pro Webcam C910s and get HD chat?
Wolf I’ve been waiting patiently for some kind of Linux support for years. I own 5 Logitech Harmony remotes, 2 gamepads, 2 z5500 speakers, 7 mice (Darkfield,etc.), 2 DiNovo Edges, 1 G15, 3 headsets, 2 webcamsand on and on. All from Logitech. I feel as i am nothing to you. Linux users number in the millions, collectively. Did you think all your sales are from Windows users? I have spent thousands of dollars on Logitech, simply to get answers like “.look at previous comment.”, “not officially supported.”, “.look elsewhere for answers.”.
Is that how companies are doing business nowadays? I feel nothing but betrayed, just for showing brand loyalty. Meh, what goes up, must come down. Tim Leehane Hi Paul, The C910 should work very well for you. Regarding the Mac, it should work fine in UVC mode; but it will depend on which application you will be using.
If the application (like Logitech Vid HD or Skype) supports UVC, then the C910 will work fine. Stereo cannot be disabled on the C910, but the additional bandwidth is negligible, so you shouldn’t need to worry about that. Since you don’t need Full HD (1080p), the C510 is a viable alternative with standard HD support (720p). Comment Policy We're glad you're here.
