Logitech HD webcams. High-def yourself.
|
Your webcam is more than just another gadget. And it’s why your old (non-HD) webcam and the built-in webcam in your computer just won’t cut it. Why? What other device lets you look your loved ones in the eyes and tell them how you feel, tell them a joke, tell (and show) them what your three-year-old just created out of cardboard, glue and glitter? Sharing, socializing, connecting with the people you care about. That’s what makes a webcam different. And Logitech HD webcams are about sharing your life—but bigger, better, brighter, smoother. High-def yourself. See how easy it is to upload HD videos to Facebook™ and YouTube™ . |
Say it bigger. Say it better.The beauty of video calling over, say, the phone, is that you can see and hear your loved ones. But until just recently you couldn’t make an HD video call. Because the name of the game in video calling is crunching down millions of pixels—the smallest unit of a digital image—every second and sending it from your computer, over the Internet, and to your buddy. Up until now, bandwidth and CPU constraints made HD video calling impossible for nearly all PCs (desktop and laptop) connecting to the Internet through traditional networks. That’s all changed. Today you can make an HD 720p video call with a Logitech HD webcam when you use Logitech Vid™ HD. Learn more about Vid—the fast, free and easy way to make a video call. So go ahead. HD yourself. With a Logitech HD webcam. |

RightLight™ technology. Look natural. Even when you don’t have natural lighting.
Web calls get realA webcam makes it feel like you’re right there with your family and friends—no matter where they are. But low-light or a bright window in the room can leave you looking silhouetted or surround your face with ghostly bright lighting. |
Lighten upWebcams and low light generally don’t get along. That’s why RightLight technology includes CMOS sensors that more precisely measure and maximize the light in any situation. Whether your face is shadowed or the whole image is dark, poorly lit areas will appear brighter and have more detail. |
Goodbye, orange skinBright colors are pretty. Unnaturally saturated skin? Not so pretty. So we pay careful attention to how our webcams with RightLight technology reproduce light and dark skin tones. We adjust the camera’s color hues and saturation so your skin looks natural, not orange. |
The true youNot into the fun house look? Have no fear. |
RightSound technology. Sound right. Naturally.
A better way to video callWebcams let you see and talk to your friends and family—wherever they are. But with most webcams, you need to wear a headset or you’ll get a distracting echo. |
The echo explanationYou’re on a video call with your friend. You’re both using webcams with integrated microphones and typical computer speakers. Here’s where the trouble happens: |
The RightSound™ fixYou use a webcam with RightSound technology. The software identifies the sound wave featuring your friend’s voice as it comes through the speakers. When your microphone picks it up, the software filters out the repeated wave so it doesn’t get sent back to your friend. And that means they don’t hear an echo. |
Two-way talkOther webcams eliminate echo by muting your microphone when the person on the other end is speaking. It’s kind of like talking on a walkie-talkie—not a very natural way to have a chat. RightSound technology doesn’t mute your mic so you can both talk whenever you want. It makes your video calls just like talking to someone in the same room. |
MAGIX photo organization and video editing software. Easy, smart and free with your Logitech webcam.*

You’ve said good-bye to shoeboxes full of photos and videocassettes. Now all your memories are stored on your computer. But with thousands of photos and videos, it can sometimes be difficult to find the one you want. And once you’ve found it, you might want to crop a photo to focus on your beautiful baby cousin’s face. Or cut those last few seconds of video where your sister’s perfect wedding cake somehow ends up on the floor. |

Get Hollywood.Using a webcam to record a video of your baby’s first words, a funny clip that you upload to Facebook™ or YouTube™ or a warm message to a loved one can be an art. It’s hard to figure out just when to stop—or start—recording to get the best video. There are editing programs out there, but they’re often very complicated, taking days to learn and offering lots of features most people will never use. That’s where MAGIX Video Easy comes in. The name says it all. This drag-and-drop home video tool makes it easy to cut, edit and combine videos to turn fleeting memories into indelible moments you’ll be able to return to again and again. The simple, easy-to-use interface makes editing an intuitive process rather than a chemistry project. Step-by-step instructions help you select the parts of your video that you want to include, then add a title and some music—you can even add transitions. And when your inner auteur is satisfied, it’s easy to upload your newest creation to YouTube. Next stop: Sunset Boulevard. Or Grandma’s living room. |
Get organized.Digital cameras and camera phones make it easy to capture the important moments in your life. The question, then, is how to make those photos and videos easy to find and share with your friends and family? MAGIX Photo Manager 9 does it all for you. After you’ve downloaded and installed the software on your PC, just connect your camera. Photo Manager will automatically import your photos and videos, and then organize them by date, time and place taken. It’s a snap to find just what you want—without the hassle of scrolling through thousands of thumbnails. Photo Manager also lets you do basic editing like cropping, eliminating red-eye and making small color corrections. In just a few minutes, your photos will be looking their best—just like the memories they capture. |
