In Store Solutions
today announced the availability of the FREETALK Everyman HD Webcam, the new high-definition webcam that empowers Skype users with true 720p HD video
calling.
Available for purchase globally from the Skype Shop, the Everyman HD Webcam
enables HD-encoded video for only $49, about the same price as most
standard webcams. The compact and lightweight Everyman HD Webcam
requires no set up and is plug and play, making it especially convenient
for use on the road.
"There is no higher performing, Skype Certified HD webcam than the
Everyman HD, and the Everyman HD is available at just a fraction of the
price of other HD webcams," said In Store Solutions Product Manager Mike
Padmore. "Unlike most High Quality webcams on the market today, the
Everyman encodes the video signal in real time, meaning you do not need
to utilize all of your computer’s resources while conducting a Skype
video call."
Product specifications include:
— High performance optical lens
— 24-bit true color depth
— Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance
— Auto Focus capability
— Supports HD video encoding at resolutions up to 1280×720 at up to 22 frames per second

"In earning the Skype Certified mark, the Everyman HD earned
Skype’s highest rating for a webcam," said Ed Botterill, Certification
Manager for Skype. "This webcam is engineered to give Skype users the
highest quality high-definition Skype video calling experience, enabling
them to feel like they are in the same room with their family and
friends."
The FREETALK HD Everyman Webcam sends and receives HD video when used
with Skype 4.2 for Windows and above, a PC with a 1.8 GHz dual-core
processor or faster and a high-speed broadband connection of at least 1
Mbps symmetrical bandwidth.
