Logitech moves into room

Summary: The CC3000e ConferenceCam allows you to make full use of your meeting rooms for video conferencing, without paying telepresence-style prices.


Video conferencing is an increasingly mainstream business activity, no longer restricted to high-level executive meetings in vastly expensive telepresence suites. The trouble is, according to Logitech, that most meeting rooms are ill-equipped to handle video, usually just providing a speakerphone and relying on users to bring their own webcams if pictures are required. Back in 2012, Logitech's business unit launched the BCC950 ConferenceCam to deliver ad-hoc HD video conferencing for small groups; now it has moved up a notch with the £699 ($999) ConferenceCam CC3000e, which is designed to serve meeting rooms holding up to 10 people.

The CC3000e ConferenceCam comprises a Bluetooth and NFC-enabled speakerphone, a full-HD pan-tilt-zoom camera, a dockable remote control and a powered USB hub:

The speakerphone has a 24cm-square footprint and stands 6.8cm tall, weighing 810g. It houses a pair of omnidirectional full-duplex mics, with echo and noise cancellation, allowing users to have natural-feeling conversations with remote participants from within 20 feet of the unit. The touch control panel lets you start and end calls, displays call-related information, and provides volume and camera controls - which are replicated on the 10-foot-range remote that docks neatly into the speakerphone. The speakerphone is Bluetooth-enabled, allowing you to conduct audio conferences via your smartphone - and if the latter supports NFC, pairing is simplicity itself.

The 590g camera can be mounted on a flat surface, a wall or on a tripod via its standard mounting thread. It's a full-HD 1080p/30fps unit with onboard UVC 1.5 and H264 SVC support for improved bandwidth control. It has a 90-degree field of view, and can be panned, tilted and zoomed (10x lossless) from the speakerphone control panel or the remote (you can also do this for a remote CC3000e unit in another location). Usefully, you can set a default position for the camera on wake-up, and activate this at any time via the Camera Home key.


Logitech has maximised layout flexibility by connecting everything via a small (9.5cm x 7.4cm x 3.4cm, 50g) powered USB 2.0 hub. You get 5-metre (16-foot) cables for attaching the camera and the speakerphone, and a 3m (10ft) cable for connecting to the PC or Mac that's hosting the video conference. If you want to keep the hub and wiring out of the way, you can use the provided mounting kit to attach it to the underside of a desk or table.


The CC3000e is officially compatible with a range of UC platforms, including Microsoft's Lync and Skype, Cisco's WebEx and Jabber, Vidyo - and of course the Logitech-owned LifeSize ClearSea.

5 Reasons iPhone 6 Won't Be Popular

Image
The majority of users are waiting for the next smartphone from Apple - iPhone 6 – this year. Unfortunately, the hype around iPhone began to gradually subside with each passing year after the 4th model launched. Therefore, it is possible that the sixth iPhone model of  will not be nearly as popular as it was in the beginning. Global audience perceived iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 much cooler than its early models New iPhones will not cause that “wow”-effect, which was in the beginning, when Steve Jobs' presentations caused a delight and admiration of every new Apple gadget. Some leaked photos of iPhone 5S prototype show that it does not differ from its predecessor at all. Therefore, all hopes for something radically new in design and features are laid on iPhone 6.

Tips: Optimize your blog loading times

A slow loading blog can prevent you from getting new readers and it can also adversely affect your Google rankings.  If you notice your blog loading too slowly, or just want to optimize the speed there are a few things you can do. 1. Use a free web analyzer to determine where your bottlenecks are.  A couple good sites for this are Pingdom and GTMetrix .  These will test your site speed and list out all your elements so you can see which ones are taking the longest to load.  From there you can decide how to improve your speed. 2. Move JavaScript to the bottom of your template. This doesn't actually make your blog load any faster, but it gives the illusion of it because browsers cannot load any other elements such as images at the same time as a script.  So moving them to the bottom allows your other elements to load and render on screen first making the user think your site is faster. To do this, go to Design > Edit HTML and place your scripts just before th...
