Logitech has reportedly unveiled its flagship QuickCam Ultra Vision Web Cam that the company claims offers a true-to-life video calling experience.

Logitech has reportedly unveiled its flagship QuickCam Ultra Vision Web Cam that the company claims offers a true-to-life video calling experience by delivering twice the image clarity as that offered by typical Web Cams.

According to Logitech, QuickCam Ultra Vision delivers premium performance even in difficult lighting conditions, using the new Logitech RightLight 2 Technology, which intelligently adapts the camera's video settings to the environment in which it is being used.

Logitech RightLight 2 Technology is a system of hardware and software technologies, which is said to be an enhancement over its predecessor.

The QuickCam Ultra features a premium 1.3 mega pixels sensor, and supports high-definition (HD) video format, allowing people to create video clips and watch them in a wide-screen format.

The camera also features an f-stop setting of 1.6, whereas most Web cams on the market have an f-stop setting of 2 or greater. As such, the QuickCam Ultra Vision Web cam is able to capture more light, producing greater image detail even in dimly lighted, back-lit, or side-lit conditions.

The camera lens system comprises five extra-large lenses, most of which are made with glass, providing sharp and clear video.

The new Web cam has a built-in microphone and cylinder-shaped edges. Each edge features a button; one that launches a mirror video window, so that people can check their image before they engage in a video call; and the other to take quick snapshots. The Web cam also has a soft-blue back-lit ring, surrounding the Logitech logo, which lights-up when the camera is active.

The new camera incorporates Logitech RightSound Technology and Logitech Video Effects software.

Logitech RightSound Technology combines the Web cam's microphone with acoustic echo-cancellation software, offering people the flexibility of conducting video calls without wearing a headset. Logitech Video Effects software works with popular Web cam applications, and allows people to completely transform themselves into three-dimensional animated characters (avatars) that precisely mimic facial movements, or add accessories to their on-screen image, such as glasses, a beard, or a crown.

The QuickCam Ultra Vision Web cam will be available in the US and Europe starting August, at a suggested retail price of $129.99.
