Logitech ViewPort AV 100 Desktop Video Communicator

Logitech ViewPort AV 100 is the company's first product designed to bring video communications to an ordinary PC. The Logitech ViewPort AV 100 combines a premium Logitech video camera, an integrated microphone with acoustic echo cancellation, and a Bluetooth wireless headset into a single, sleek console.





With the ViewPort AV 100, Logitech has made ease of use a priority, using a simple, innovative design. For example, the face of this product contains only two buttons -- one to launch the conferencing application, and the other to block video and mute sound for temporary privacy during a conference call. The design also incorporates a docking cradle to house and recharge the included Bluetooth wireless headset. The Logitech ViewPort AV 100 offers the option of communicating through an embedded microphone for conferencing mode, or through the Bluetooth wireless headset.

The Logitech ViewPort AV 100 has a 51-degree field-of-view -- wider than most consumer webcams -- allowing the caller to sit comfortably at a desk while making a video call, as automatic face tracking and zooming keep the subject framed. The ViewPort AV 100 will transmit high-quality video up to 30 frames per second, depending on the application and speed of the Internet connection.

The Logitech ViewPort AV 100 will initially be available to solution providers, VARs and system builders. Subsequently, it will be marketed as an enterprise solution through these system integrator channels. The Logitech hardware comes with a two-year manufacturer's limited warranty.
