Today Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) took another step toward
delivering
on its promise to bring HD video to anyone, anywhere, unveiling a full
lineup
of HD webcams and the recently announced Logitech®
Vid™ HD, the free and
easy way to make an HD
video
call. Offering HD 720p video
calling, Full HD 1080p video recording,
Logitech Fluid Crystal™ technology and one-click HD-uploading
to Facebook™ and
YouTube™,
the flagship Logitech® HD Pro Webcam C910 makes high-definition
video calling,
recording and sharing a reality.
“HD
video calling is a critical step toward our vision of a world in which
video
communication is as mainstream and seamless as a telephone call
— for anyone,
anywhere,” said Eric Kintz, vice president and general
manager of Logitech’s
video business. “With Logitech HD webcams and Vid HD, you
have everything you
need to share, to connect, to see the people that matter to you in
breathtaking
detail that far surpasses the quality of embedded webcams.”
Every
new Logitech HD webcam features Logitech Fluid Crystal
technology, ensuring that each video call and recording offers crystal
clear
images with smooth, fluid motion and rich, true-to-life colors, even in
the real
world.
Logitech
HD Pro Webcam C910 — HD in Every Way
Setting
a new standard in
quality, the top-of-the-line Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 not only lets
you
record video in stunning Full HD 1080p and make video calls in fluid HD
720p,
but it also features crystal-clear stereo audio with two mics
– one on either
side of the webcam lens.
The
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910 presents a stunning, streamlined profile.
At 25
millimeters deep, the exceptionally thin C910 webcam adds a modern
minimalist
touch to your laptop or desktop computer setup.
Logitech
HD Webcam C510 —
For Portable HD Video Calling
and
Recording
If
you prefer a webcam that
can go wherever you go, the portable Logitech HD Webcam C510
— with its
fold-and-go design — makes it easy to take your webcam with
you. So whether you
want to make a video call at home, at the hotel, or at the office, the
C510
webcam will fold up and fit in your pocket for easy transport. Plus,
the
360-degree full-rotation allows you to swivel the webcam around and
include more
people on your video calls and recordings.
Logitech
also introduced two HD webcams at a price that everyone can afford: the
Logitech® HD Webcam C310 and the Logitech® HD Webcam
C270.
Logitech
Vid HD — HD 720p Video Calls
Logitech
Vid HD brings the
HD video-calling experience full circle, because you can’t
have a
high-definition video call with an HD webcam unless you have software
that can
transmit two-way live video in HD.
So
if you’ve been waiting for a simpler and better way to make a
video call, Vid
HD is the free, fast and easy way to make an HD video call —
and it’s included
with all new Logitech webcams, as well as available for free download
at www.logitech.com/vid.
If
you’re already using Logitech Vid™, you can upgrade
to Vid
HD
and use it today with any HD-ready webcam.
One-Click
Upload to Facebook and YouTube
In
today’s world, social
networking is an essential part of day-to-day life for millions, and
video is
an indispensable part of sharing your life with the people you care
about. With
Logitech’s new lineup of HD webcams, it’s a snap to
record and upload HD videos
to Facebook or YouTube. For your convenience, the included
Magix™ photo and
video editing software will help you polish the rough edges before your
video
goes viral. And the included picture and video gallery makes it easy to
store
your memories, too.

dazzling
8-megapixel snapshots, the C310 webcam takes crisp, clear 5-megapixel
