 Logitech Orbit Webcam - 4 MP photo
With its new amazing sensor, the Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP camera can take true 1.3 megapixel still images or up to 4 megapixel software-enhanced still images, great for sending snapshots of you with your new purchase to friends and family or selling products online. The Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP comes with a stereo headset with microphone, allowing people to conduct video calls more privately. The camera is also certified to support the faster data rates of Hi-Speed USB 2.0.
Logitech Orbit MP - RightLight Technology
A system of hardware and software technologies, Logitech RightLight technology vastly improves webcam image quality in a wide variety of lighting conditions. The technology combines advanced sensor technology, sophisticated firmware and high-quality lenses that work together to deliver greater sensitivity to light (especially in low light) and optimized skin tones, while minimizing the distortion of images.
Logitech QuickCam MP - RightSound Technology
By combining a webcam's microphone with acoustic echo cancellation software, Logitech RightSound technology provides people the flexibility of conducting video calls without wearing a headset. Integrated with the webcam's software drivers, advanced software algorithms eliminate echoes created by a webcam microphone and speakers in close proximity.
Logitech Webcam 1.3 MP - Video Effects Software
The first-of-its-kind Logitech Video Effects software allows people to completely transform themselves into three-dimensional animated characters (avatars) that precisely mimic facial movements, or to add accessories to their on-screen image, such as glasses or a crown. Logitech Video Effects software works with all popular webcam applications, including MSN Messenger Video Conversation, AOLInstant Messenger and Yahoo! Messenger.
Logitech Orbit Webcam - Motorized head
Based on the award-winning design of the original QuickCam Orbit webcam, the highly stylized QuickCam Orbit MP webcam changes how people participate in video communication over the Internet, making it much more natural. A motorized camera head, combined with intelligent face tracking software, allows the camera lens to follow its subject up and down, or left and right as that person shifts in a chair or moves freely about the room. The QuickCam Orbit MP webcam can physically turn 128 degrees side to side, and 54 degrees up and down. The QuickCam Orbit lens has an ultra-wide field of view combined with its ability to mechanically pan and tilt, the webcam can cover 189 horizontal degrees and 102 vertical degrees of a room. The QuickCam Orbit MP webcam includes a 9-inch stand, so the camera can be elevated to eye level.
