Logitech today introduced a new product category for
unified communications (UC) and Web conferencing: the
all-in-one audio and video ConferenceCam.
The Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam combines a full HD
webcam with an omni-directional full-duplex speakerphone
in one USB device, enabling small groups to collaborate
in conference rooms, closed offices or shared work
spaces.
The BCC950 ConferenceCam features a full HD
webcam with motorized pan, tilt and zoom for bringing
everyone into the picture - either from a control pad on
the device or with a convenient remote control. The
control pad or the remote can also used to answer calls,
end calls, adjust the volume and mute the microphone.
Optimized for Microsoft Lync and Skype Certified, the
BCC950 ConferenceCam works with most UC and video
platforms. With a wide 78-degree field of view and
180-degree video pan, support for 1080p, 30fps HD through
plug-and-play UVC H.264 video technology, and a
speakerphone that allows everyone in a meeting to hear
and be heard clearly from up to eight feet away, the
ConferenceCam helps remove the pain point of groups
clustering around a computer to be seen and understood
during UC calls. Weighing only 20 ounces, the
ConferenceCam can be carried easily around an office.
A webcam sensor and Logitech RightLight 2 technology
improve visual quality in low light and backlit
situations, while a Carl Zeiss lens and the camera?s
autofocus feature allow sharing of detailed documents and
other visuals up close, without losing image quality.
The Logitech BCC950 ConferenceCam is expected to be
available worldwide beginning in May 2012, for a price of
$249.99.
