Creative today announced the new Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080 HD web camera. Sporting a full HD sensor with 1080p resolution, auto focus wide-angle glass lens and built-in dual adaptive array microphones with beam-forming and noise cancellation technologies, the Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080 is a formidable tool for video chatting and more.
The Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080 has built-in dual adaptive array microphones which form an adjustable beam angle that ranges from 20° to 180° and enable the optimal performance of a headset-free, far-field voice input by centering microphone sensitivity on the user's voice and reducing noise outside that signal. It dramatically reduces ambient noise caused when a speaker's voice reverberates from walls or ceilings.
Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080
The Live! Cam Socialize HD enables 1080p video capture and playback up to 30 frames per second. It also features:
- 2-megapixel HD sensor
- Auto focus, wide-angle glass lens
- Built-in dual adaptive array microphones with beam-forming and noise cancellation technologies
- Still picture image quality up to 12-megapixel (Interpolation)
- 4x digital zoom
- Live! Central 3 software
- Live! Scan business card scanning software
The included Live! Central 3 software offers new touchscreen control and multi-touch capability for users who are using touchscreen-enabled Windows 7. It also lets users upload recorded videos to more social media links including YouTube, Photobucket, KinKast, Tudou.com, Youku.com and Facebook. The new Live! Scan software further enhances the already robust Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080 with business card scanning ability. By placing a business card in the cradle bundled with the Live! Cam Socialize HD 1080, the web camera captures the information on the business card into a file — an extremely handy way of storing business cards electronically.
