I've been ready to put in writing about this use case for what looks like an eternity. Our Kickstarter has lastly launched, manufacturing is underway and the product is lastlyaccessible for pre-order! So I'm joyful to announce we will now make any USB 2.zero webcam wi-fi! This has been certainly one of our hottest requests since we launched the HuddleCamHD 3X again in 2014 and the demand for simple to put in USB primarily based video conferencing gear has been rising tremendously.
The video above demonstrates the model new HuddleCamHD USB2Air in motion. The USB2Air offers a wi-fi USB 2.zero extension hyperlink between the host and system transceivers as much as 25 toes (6-Eight meters). The fantastic thing about this answer is that the wi-fi connection is point-to-point and subsequently ultra-low latency. The low latency P2P connection together with a hefty 30 Mbps bandwidth hyperlink present greater than sufficient throughput to make use of with a number of 1080p webcams (USB 2.zero Solely), audio conferencing gadgets and even interactive contact screens (with HDMI & Management).
So on this video, we wirelessly prolong the USB 2.zero from a Logitech c920 to display a well-liked use case for Wi-fi USB extension for webcams. As we talked about, many occasions in a conferencing surroundings the pc is both behind the LCD or a laptop computer on the desk. Both means, the USB2Air can be utilized as a wi-fi USB extender for a webcam and a number of gadgets contained in the bandwidth limitations. In case your laptop computer is on the convention room desk you should use the USB2Air to attach gadgets wirelessly comparable to a Webcam mounted on the wall to your laptop computer. In case your laptop is behind the LCD show you should use the USB2Air so as to add extra merchandise comparable to a doc digital camera or contact display screen controller.
The rationale why the USB2Air is so particular is as a result of the latency is tremendous low (1 millisecond). So the wi-fi USB extension can be utilized for real-time functions comparable to video conferencing and in-room collaboration. As you possibly can see within the video, the latency is simply pretty much as good as if the USB webcam was plugged immediately into the pc. The one disadvantage is that it is a Home windows-only product! Meaning this may work with Home windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 however not any Mac computer systems!
We will probably be conducting reside demonstrations each Friday at 10AM PST 1PM EST and answering, your questions on our newest product! Try our Kickstarter for more information or to buy one for your self!
