RightSound technology. Sound right. Naturally.
The echo explanation
Youre on a video call with your friend. Youre both using webcams with integrated microphones and typical computer speakers. Heres where the trouble happens:
Your friend says something to you. His voice is captured by his microphone and sent to your speakers. But then your microphone picks up his voice from the speakers and sends it back to him as an echowhich can really ruin a conversation.
Two-way talk
Other webcams eliminate echo by muting your microphone when the person on the other end is speaking. Its kind of like talking on a walkie-talkienot a very natural way to have a chat. RightSound technology doesnt 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.
Video Effects. Extra fun for your video calls.
Make your move
These arent just plain-old static effects. Video Effects technology uses face tracking to find your face and track its moves. Then it either maps a Face Accessory over your real face or completely replaces your video with an Avatar that moves like you.
So when you choose a dinosaur avatar, the dinosaur moves its head the way you do, talks when you talk, and winks when you wink. When you put on glasses, they stay on your eyeseven when you move around.
Face Accessories
When you want to be you with a little something extra, you can just put on a Face Accessory. Youve got options galore, including a pirate hat, crown, scuba mask, vampire teeth, antlers, and a pig nose. Or you can put on a full mask.
Carl Zeiss and Logitech: Bringing you a better lens for better webcam images.
More light, better images
A webcam lens captures the light that the sensor then transforms into the image you see. You need a high-quality lens to capture more light and produce the best images. Together with Carl Zeiss, we created an advanced lens design to give you more clarity and less distortion.
Logitech Autofocus. The clear choice for clear video.
Ready for your close-up
Want to zoom in for a kiss? Or hold something up to the camera? Our autofocus system can handle it. It focuses in and out automatically with precision and speedeven if the item is only 10 cm from the camera. No choppiness. No blur. Just a clear, sharp image.
Image quality. Its more than just megapixels.
All lenses are not created equal
The lens is what captures the light that gets turned into the image by the sensor. If your lens isnt good, it doesnt matter how many megapixels youve got. A bad lens is going to give you a bad image.
We teamed up with Carl Zeissa pioneer in the world of opticsto create high-quality lenses for our best webcams. They use glass instead of plastic and have five elements to give you more detail and clarity and less distortion.
Find out more about why our collaboration with Carl Zeiss benefits you.
The truth about megapixels
While a higher-megapixel sensor can give you higher-resolution pictures and videos, it doesnt equal high-quality images on its own. The pursuit of megapixel supremacy often calls attention away from the other components of a webcam.
But higher-megapixel sensors can give you more fine detail. Pick one of our webcams with a true two-megapixel sensor and youll enjoy sharper, more detailed photos. Weve even got some webcams that let you capture high-definition video at up to 1600-by-1200 pixels.
RightLight 2 technology. Be seen in a better light.
About face
RightLight 2 technology identifies your face in the frame and uses that to determine the light and color settings.
Face too dark? It brightens the whole image so your countenance can be seen clearly.
Too bright? It will darken everything to put your face in the best light.
Most webcams simply measure the amount of light in the entire image. If theres a bright window or lamp in the frame, your face might appear dark and shadowy. Thats good for people trying to hide their identitybut not so good for video calls.
In contrast
Add a lot of rich color to low light and your typical webcam tends to get confused. All that saturated color adds extra weight to an already dark environmentoften resulting in dark, flat images. On top of that, the camera introduces more noise by trying to create contrast where there isnt much.
Theres no need to change your outfit or dcor with RightLight 2 technology.
RightLight 2 technology slightly lowers the level of color saturation in low light to produce sharp images with greater detail and contrastand a whole lot less noise. The result? The person on the other end can see you better without seeing specks. RightLight 2. Put yourself in a better light.
