05/01/2012 - Logitech rolls out webcam for 1080p video calling

Logitech (Nasdaq: LOGI) is looking to get a bigger piece of the consumer and SMB market with a high-end webcam that provides users of Skype and other video calling platforms, with up to 1080p video.

Logitech's HD Pro Webcam C920 is set to ship later this month.

The company said its new HD Pro Webcam C920, set to ship this month with an MRSP of $99.99, uses Logitech Fluid Crystal Technology to create smoother video motion without choppiness, while promising sharper pictures, richer colors and clearer sound.

The C920 captures full-HD 1080p video for connecting through the latest version of Skype, and can give 720p video for Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT)'s Windows Live Messenger. And, said the company, you can upload full-HD 1080p video clips or 15MP photos quickly to Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

The C920 also features Carl Zeiss optics and 20-step autofocus and two mics positioned on either side of the webcam to capture natural stereo audio.

While the webcam is playing to its Skype collaboration pretty hard, it's also going to be offered to businesses, especially SMBs looking to raise the quality of their videoconferencing and unified communications.
