MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA – Mar. 13, 2012 – Creative Technology Ltd today announced the Live! ® Cam Connect HD web camera, featuring a liquid crystal auto focus lens, noise-canceling microphone and Skype certification for 720p HD video calls at up to 30 fps. Priced at only US$69.99, the Live! Cam Connect HD features built-in H.264 hardware video processing to ensure smooth, fast video without compromising image quality or taxing PC system resources.
“We designed the Live! Cam Connect HD to deliver outstanding video and sound quality. Using a high-performance liquid crystal auto focus lens and noise-canceling microphone, the Live! Cam Connect HD makes Skype calls and voice chat look and sound phenomenal,” said Ryan Richards, product marketing manager for Creative Labs, Inc. “The power of built-in hardware encoding ensures that the quality of video communications far surpasses what any integrated web camera can offer.”
Using a patented technology to transform a simple liquid crystal cell into a variable focus lens, liquid crystal auto focus operates silently without introducing mechanical noise that could otherwise be picked up by the camera’s microphone.
