Image quality. It’s more than just megapixels.
Looking at the whole picture
You know good image quality when you see it. The problem is figuring out which webcam has it. Megapixels are only part of the picture. Your image quality depends on the lens, sensor, and software.
At Logitech, we’re not just trying to dazzle you with more megapixels. We work hard to integrate all the elements so you get the best image possible for your video calls. All lenses are not created equal.
The lens is what captures the light that gets turned into the image by the sensor. If your lens isn’t good, it doesn’t matter how many megapixels you’ve got. A bad lens is going to give you a bad image.
We teamed up with Carl Zeiss®—a pioneer in the world of optics—to create high-quality lenses for our best webcams. They use glass instead of plastic and have five elements to give you more detail and clarity and less distortion.
Not your standard drivers
Most webcams use standard Windows drivers—a one-size-fits-all option—to convert the data from the sensor into a form that your computer can use. We develop our own drivers and firmware so they’re tuned to work specifically with your webcam’s lens design and sensor. And that means you’re getting higher-quality images.
RightSound technology. So you sound like—you.
What’s that noise?
Have you ever made a video call and thought that the person on the other end sounded unusual? That their voice was unnaturally flat? Or there was a strange distortion in their speech?
Webcams let you see and talk to your friends and family—wherever they are. But with most webcams, you need to wear a headset or distracting background noise (the whir of a fan, the hum of your computer) can mar your conversation.
At Logitech, we hear that sound, too. And we know it’s annoying. That’s why we developed RightSound™ technology—to help ensure that your voice comes through crisp and clear.
Say good-bye to that humming sound
Try this. Stop reading for a moment and just listen to the sounds in your room. (We’ll wait.)
Now, think about all the different sounds you hear. You can probably categorize them into two types: sounds with a regularly repeating pattern (like a fan, air conditioner, or your neighbor’s lawnmower) and sounds that vary (like the human voice). Engineers would call the first type ‘stationary sound’ and the second ‘non-stationary sound.’ Ambient noise is another way to describe the first type of sound.
Ambient noise—such as the hum of your computer—is what can really spoil your video call.
Fortunately, ambient sound waves produce a regularly recurring pattern. And because they do, we can identify the ambient noise in the midst of all the other sounds in the room, including your voice, and help make it less of an annoyance. In a nutshell, that’s what RightSound does.
RightSound. Real difference.
There’s a lot of talk about megapixels when it comes to webcams. But we know that a satisfying video call requires good sound quality, too.
At Logitech, a team of acoustic engineers created RightSound. Using sophisticated algorithms,, we carefully analyze the entire spectrum of sound to better isolate the ambient noise, and more deftly cancel it out with a signal below the threshold of human hearing.
The result is that your friends and family only hear the real you. Loud and clear.
Recommended system requirements are needed to use RightSound™ and Fun Filters.
