Creative Introduces the Webcam Live!
 
WebCam Live! Ultra and WebCam Live! Ultra for Notebooks Deliver Superior Video Instant Messaging Experience MILPITAS, Calif., April 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Creative (Nasdaq: CREAF), a worldwide leader in digital entertainment solutions, today announced the next significant advancement in video instant messaging with the only web cameras with true USB 2.0 speed and a wide-angle lens, priced for only US$99.99 each. Ideal for broadband users, both the Creative WebCam Live!(R) Ultra and the Creative WebCam Live! Ultra for Notebooks incorporate true high-speed USB 2.0 for delivering crisp, high-resolution video at up to twice the video frame rates of USB 1.1 cameras. Each Live! Ultra WebCam features a wide-angle lens to capture digital video with a 76-degree field of view, almost 50 percent wider than the 52-degree view typically offered by competing web cameras. With a precision focus ring to refine image clarity, the Live! Ultra and the Live! Ultra for Notebooks feature a high-quality CCD image sensor for delivering more vibrant video and crisper images, even in low light conditions, than with the CMOS sensors used in other web cameras. "Creative utilizes true USB 2.0 for a lifelike video IM experience with saturated colors and faster frames per second, unlike some competitors who confuse consumers by offering USB 1.1 cameras that connect to a USB 2.0 connector, yet only deliver half the frame rate," said Mala Sharma, director of product marketing for Creative. "The WebCam Live! Ultra and the Live! Ultra for Notebooks deliver smooth video instant messaging on all the major instant messaging services so you can keep in touch with friends and family all over the world." With a high-gloss titanium finish, the WebCam Live! Ultra cameras make a stylish addition to any desktop or notebook computer. For use with a desktop PC, the Live! Ultra can be placed on any flat surface, like a traditional PC monitor, or can be easily affixed to a flat panel monitor. The Live! Ultra for Notebooks features a PowerGrip attachment for secure placement on a notebook display, unlike the flimsy hooks used on other notebook web cameras. All Creative web cameras work seamlessly with popular instant messaging software, including Yahoo!(R) Messenger, AIM, MSN(R) Messenger, and Windows(R) Messenger, and come with a dedicated, high-quality microphone or headset to provide superior voice quality and clarity during video instant messaging. Creative's exclusive multi-person Smart Face Tracking feature enables the camera to recognize and track the motion of one or more people during video instant messaging. Creative's family of web cameras include the comprehensive, easy-to-use Creative WebCam Center software for taking snapshots, remote video security monitoring, motion detection, time-lapse video, and sending photos via Yahoo! Messenger. The Creative WebCam Live! Ultra is available now for only US$99.99 at Staples, Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, and http://www.us.creative.com. The WebCam Live! Ultra for Notebooks, also priced at only US $99.99, will be available next month. For more information about Creative web cameras visit http://www.us.creative.com.
