The Logitech TV Cam HD mounts to the top of your HDTV and requires only an HDMI connection and an available internet connection. Once you have installed the hardware, you can enter your Skype account information into the built-in application and begin making calls to any of your contacts.
“Amazing connections happen when the video calling experience moves to the TV in the living room: the most popular and comfortable place in the house,” said Joerg Tewes, vice president of Logitech's digital home business group. “Because of the size of the TV screen and the quality of the video, the new Logitech TV Cam HD with Skype brings a whole new social element to the living room, helping you feel like your family and friends are right there with you. It's a transformative experience.”
Additionally, the Logitech TV Cam HD features a Carl Zeiss optical lens, four Noise Cancelling Microphones to reduce background noise and echoes, as well as a built-in ringer to notify you of incoming calls; even when your TV is turned off.
The Logitech TV Cam HD is expected to arrive later this month, priced at $199. Visit the product page for more information.
