We use Skype quite a bit in the office, so we decided to put the camera to the test to see if it lives up to the hype. By having the camera perform the hardware, it is possible to have excellent video quality, even on a mildly powerful computer.
The compression can vary from a video-call software to another, but the principle stays the same. If you are not familiar with how this works, usually, webcam capture video and an uncompressed stream is sent to the computer, where the main processor (CPU) performs the video compression before it is sent by a software like Skype. You heard that right, we are talking about built-in hardware compression here.
Logitech has recently launched the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 webcam, and this one is of particular interest to me because the H.264 video compression is done in the camera itself.
