The TV Cam for Skype is a plug-and-play TV camera that'll let you make & receive high-definition video calls directly from select 2011 Panasonic VIERA Connect-enabled VIERA HDTVs that feature Skype. It is exactly what you think: a webcam for your television.
Forget chatting over the PC; that is 2010. With this, you'll be able to have the whole relatives collect 'round in order to speak to whoever is on the other finish. You'll find Carl Zeiss optics, Logitech's Liquid Crystal expertise, a 78-degree wide-angle lens & a pair of directional microphones. Two times the Logitech TV Cam for Skype is plugged in, you can make TV-to-TV Skype calls, as well as TV-to-PC or Mac calls & vice versa. You can also make video calls from the Logitech TV Cam for Skype to select iPhone & smartphones with Skype mobile, but you'll need a broadband connection in your home to take advantage.
