Today, Logitech introduced a new application to simplify video content creation, Logitech® Capture™. This powerful software, which works with the popular Logitech C920, C922 and BRIO 4K Pro webcams, helps aspiring content creators easily create polished and memorable content directly with their Logitech webcams. Capture aims to help creators engage with their communities in new and deeper ways.

“The video content we all see on YouTube and other content platforms is often top-notch, but behind the scenes, content creation is still complicated, confusing and cumbersome,” said Guillaume Bourelly, senior portfolio and product manager of webcams at Logitech. “Combined with our webcams, Logitech Capture aims to simplify video recording so anyone can easily create videos that look like they were created by a pro. Creators can take advantage of transitions, filters and other effects and share their videos on the most popular social sites like YouTube Facebook, Instagram and more.”

With Logitech Capture, you can record from multiple sources, meaning you can record from two webcams simultaneously or combine screen recording with your webcam feed. For example, you can record webcam video and your desktop screen, or two webcams simultaneously, for creating picture-in-picture content, and then use Logitech Capture to arrange those picture-in-picture frames.

You can also create vertical video. Logitech Capture lets you record in 9:16 format for a portrait viewing experience optimized for mobile phones and social media posts. You can even stream directly from your webcam to YouTube without having to use a complex encoder. You’ll keep access to all the editing and customization options in Logitech Capture during your stream.

Plus, Logitech Capture offers studio style control. You can enable ChromaKey recording, apply transition effects when switching sources, and change the size and color of borders. You can also take still images and adjust mic input volume without leaving the app.

Lastly, Logitech Capture enables camera customization, so you can select your field of view, aspect ratio and recording resolution. Advanced users can also adjust white-balance, auto-focus and frame-per-second settings. Logitech Capture saves all your settings in your user profile.

Availability

Logitech Capture is supported by Windows 7 and above and is available at Logitech.com through a free software download.This software replaces and enhances the features that were previously available through Logitech Webcam Software (LWS). For more information, please visit our blog.

Today, Logitech announced Logitech® Rally, a premium, modular conferencecam that delivers studio-quality video, exceptional audio clarity, and an automated video conferencing experience that can be tailored to your meeting space. Rally features Ultra-HD 4K video, modular audio components, expansive PTZ capabilities, and Logitech RightSense™ technologies that automatically frame people, optimise colour and luminance for human faces, and improve vocal clarity for better meetings. The modular design makes it ideal for everyday conference rooms as well as boardrooms, classrooms and large meeting spaces.

“Just a few years ago, a high quality video and audio system like Logitech Rally would have easily been a five-figure investment,” said Scott Wharton, vice president and general manager of the Logitech Video Collaboration. “Now, with the Rally portfolio of products, customers get a premium, modular system that raises the bar for USB-connected AV solutions - all at a fraction of the price of other high-end systems.”

"Logitech has enjoyed great success with its affordable USB conferencecams which work well in traditional meeting rooms and huddle spaces,” said Ira M. Weinstein, managing partner, Recon Research. "But until now, Logitech lacked a premium offering for larger spaces. The Rally portfolio gives Logitech the opportunity to move up-market and extend the reach of its conferencecam lineup. Based on what I’ve seen, Rally has the potential to be as disruptive as the earlier Logitech conferencecam solutions.”

Unlike traditional video conferencing systems, Rally separates the speakers from the microphones. By mounting speakers near the display, the audio is better aligned with video, and voices of far-end participants come from the front of the room, which is what people intuitively expect.

A modular approach makes Logitech Rally an ideal solution for meeting spaces of almost any size and shape. Rally Camera features 4K optics and intelligent PTZ features to capture every seat in room. The standalone microphones provide a superior audio experience and more effectively suppress noise and echo. The front-of-room speakers offer richer sound than tabletop speakerphones. Thoughtful cable management enables custom deployments and integration by AV professionals. Premium materials, streamlined cabling, and sleek industrial design complement architectural spaces and high-end furnishings.

Logitech Rally is compatible with almost any video conferencing service, such as Microsoft Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangouts Meet, Zoom, BlueJeans and more.

Pricing and Availability

Customers may purchase Logitech Rally through the Logitech Video Collaboration reseller network. The standalone Logitech Rally camera will be available this summer for a suggested retail price of €1,399 / £1,299. Logitech Rally system, which includes Rally Camera, plus table and display hubs that minimize cross-room cabling, one speaker and one mic pod, will be available this Autumn at a suggested retail price of $1,999, and Logitech Rally Plus, which adds a second speaker and mic pod, will be available at a suggested retail price of $2,499. Euro and sterling prices are TBC. The system can be expanded with additional Mic Pods, available at a suggested retail price of $349. For more information, please visit Logitech.com or our blog.

Today, Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) announced a premier conference cam offering, Logitech^® MeetUp. Designed specifically for small conference rooms and huddle rooms, MeetUp’s 120-degree field of view makes every seat at the table clearly visible during a meeting. With acoustics custom-tuned for huddle rooms and a compact all-in-one design that minimises cable clutter, MeetUp is USB plug-and-play designed to work right out of the box.

“As companies move to open floor plans, huddle spaces are becoming increasingly popular in workplaces today. But until now, the devices in these meeting spaces have been scaled-down versions of large room systems, offering a subpar video experience,” said Scott Wharton, vice president and general manager of Logitech Video Collaboration. “Logitech MeetUp is purpose-built for the huddle room and its unique video and audio requirements, making sure everyone at the table is clearly seen and heard. It provides a truly remarkable collaboration experience.”

“In our recent State of the State report on Enterprise Video Conferencing, we estimate that there are 30-50 million huddle rooms globally, and that affordability, self service, and ease-of-use will be key factors for video adoption in these rooms,” said Andrew W. Davis, senior analyst and partner at Wainhouse Research. “Logitech MeetUp meets all the criteria for success in these meeting spaces. It’s a sleek, simple, and affordable solution that has been designed from the ground up for small conference rooms. Logitech’s prowess in audio-video for real-time communications combined with the all-in-one design of MeetUp makes it very easy for customers to extend their video conferencing deployments.”

Logitech MeetUp is designed to work with virtually any video conferencing software application and cloud service, including Skype^® for Business, Cisco collaboration applications, and all Logitech Collaboration Programme partners such as BlueJeans, BroadSoft, Vidyo and Zoom.

MeetUp captures a super-wide 120-degree field of view with the option to pan an additional 25 degrees to the left and right. A Logitech-engineered, low-distortion lens, UltraHD 4K optics, and three camera presets deliver a premium video experience. MeetUp has integrated audio optimised for huddle room spaces, delivering an exceptional sound experience. Three sound-isolating mics and a voice-optimised speaker help ensure everyone is heard as clearly as they are seen. MeetUp is Microsoft Cortana^® certified for precision voice commands with any Windows 10 system. For larger rooms, where meeting participants are more than eight feet from the microphone, customers may also purchase the Logitech Expansion Mic for MeetUp.

Logitech also introduced its ConferenceCam Soft Remote, an app that easily turns a smartphone or tablet into a remote control for Logitech MeetUp. ConferenceCam Soft Remote features all the controls available on the Logitech remote. It is compatible with both Android and iOS devices and will be available in July free-of-charge from the Google Play or Apple App stores.

Pricing and Availability

Logitech MeetUp will be available in July 2017. Business customers may purchase MeetUp through the Logitech Video Collaboration reseller network, on Amazon.com or on Logitech.com at a suggested retail price of $899 in the U.S, €1099 in Europe and £999 in the U.K. Logitech Expansion Mic for MeetUp will also be available at a suggested retail price of $219 in the U.S, €249 in Europe and £229 in the U.K.
