Fremont, Calif. - Logitech has unveiled the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920, aimed at full-HD 1080p Video capture that’s faster and smoother and performs well on more computers.

“People are increasingly relying on video calling to maintain far flung connections,” said Todd Walker, brand manager at Logitech.

The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 captures full-HD 1080p video for delivery over the Internet using Skype or in HD 720p for Windows Live Messenger.

Using its H.264 advanced compression technology, it is possible to upload full-HD 1080p video clips or 15MP photos quickly and with one click to Facebook, Twitter or YouTube (account required). To use it effectively, users will have to download the latest version of Skype, Skype 5.7 Beta for Windows.

Logitech uses what it calls Fluid Crystal Technology to provide smoother video motion without annoying choppiness, as well as sharper pictures, richer colors and clearer sound.

Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 also features Carl Zeiss optics and a premium 20-step autofocus. Two small microphones are positioned on either side of the webcam to capture natural stereo audio.

The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe beginning later this month for about $100.
