Logitech ConferenceCam Connect Enables Mobile
Audio and Video Collaboration for Small Groups in Any Workspace
Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced a
transformation in communication. The new Logitech® ConferenceCam
Connect is a portable all-in-one videoconference solution with a
breakthrough design for small and medium sized rooms. It works with
any computing device with a USB connection (PC, MAC®, or
Chromebook™), with virtually any videoconferencing software
(Microsoft® Lync™ and Skype™, Cisco Jabber® and WebEx®, Citrix
GoToMeeting®, Blue Jeans®, Google Hangouts™, Lifesize®, Vidyo®,
Zoom®, etc.), and it can be easily moved from room to room.

"For about the cost of an office chair, businesses of all sizes
can now afford to quickly connect with customers, vendors and
remote employees anytime and anywhere with the Logitech
ConferenceCam Connect," said Jason Moss, general manager of the
Collaboration Group at Logitech. “We believe there is simply no
workspace that should not have videoconferencing capability, and
the ConferenceCam allows us to connect to meetings no matter where
we are.”
“Teams are collaborating more frequently than ever before,
sharing content and using video conferencing to connect with both
local and remote team members,” says Bill Haskins, senior analyst
and partner at Wainhouse Research. “At the same time, today’s
enterprise is undergoing a massive, and sometimes complex
transformation. Our research points to a rise in open seating
environments, shrinking conference rooms, more telecommuters, and
the use of a growing number of collaborative applications. The
Logitech ConferenceCam Connect meets these challenges head-on by
providing an intriguing combination of flexibility and
portability.”
The ConferenceCam Connect has PC and Mac compatibility for
videoconferencing, and mobile connectivity for screen-mirror
projection through Miracast® technology. Windows and Android users
can connect wirelessly to the ConferenceCam Connect to
screen-mirror presentations, spreadsheets, videos or Internet
content from a mobile device to a TV screen through an HDMI
connection. The ConferenceCam automatically connects to the
display, eliminating extra steps like TV input selection.
The ConferenceCam Connect offers razor-sharp resolution and the
ability to clearly see objects and everyone in the room via a
90-degree field of view with digital pan and tilt, mechanical tilt
control, 4x digital Full HD zoom, and ZEISS® optics with autofocus.
The speakerphone supports both mobile and USB audio calling with
features such as Bluetooth® wireless technology, near field
communication and a USB port. With 360-degree sound, users can hear
and be heard within a 12-foot diameter range while full duplex
sound, acoustic echo and noise-cancelling technology delivers
conversational realism.
Enabling the flexibility to work from anywhere, the
ConferenceCam Connect runs on AC power or battery. On a full
charge, users can run a videoconference for up to 3 hours or use
the speakerphone for up to 15 hours, and its LED indicator shows
the battery charge status during use.
The ConferenceCam Connect is optimized for Microsoft® Lync™
2013, Cisco Jabber™ and is WebEx® compatible and Skype™ certified,
ensuring broad-based UC compatibility and usage with most desktop
videoconferencing programs so that users are free to use the
application of their choice.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech ConferenceCam Connect is expected to be available
worldwide in March 2015 at a suggested price of $499, €499 and
£449. For more information, please visit
