Logitech Powers Video Conversation in MSN Messenger
April 08, 2005
Fremont, CA - Logitech is delivering video technology for the new conversation feature in MSN Messenger 7.0, recently unveiled by the online service provider.
The companies report that MSN Video Conversation allows PC users with a webcam and headset to conduct a high-quality, fully synchronized, full-screen voice and video conversation, for free.
Logitech provides the technology that synchronizes the audio and video stream, and letting them traverse firewalls and Network Address Translation (NAT) devices, which have often blocked video communications in the past. Logitech also operates the servers that support Video Conversation.
All of Logitech's webcams will work with the application; its QuickCam Communicate STX webcam features a VGA CMOS sensor with a resolution of 640-by-480 pixels even if lighting is less than ideal.
MSN Messenger customers can open a Video Conversation within the message window, or launch into a full-screen mode. This mode fills the screen with the video, hiding the instant messaging window and minimizing the caller's own video image.
