Has anyone connected a HD webcam successfully?

In order for a webcam to work, the operating system would need to have an appropriate driver to run the camera. Google TV does not include any webcam drivers and since Google TV's operating system is "read only" there is no way to put drivers onto it. Therefor, it is impossible to put a webcam onto this device.

I can't imagine it not working. This is a fairly simple piece of equipment. I think, maybe, the emphasis on laptops is because most laptops tend top come "fully loaded" for multi-media whereas desktops - maybe not. My Dell laptop already had all the software I needed to use the camera. If you don't have the software to process the signal coming from the camera, you might need to download something.

Anyone else come up with a solution for computer connection to this plasma?

I had the exact same issue. I downloaded the following driver (rsCap1.1) and it worked fine (I don't know the original site that I downloaded it from but this looks legitimate). http://www.21best.com/21_best/electronic/security/video/cameras/inspection/icam-59-color.html (follow the link mid-way down the page)

It didnt work with my computer, I was unable to send any video signal to my PANASONIC HD TV. I try changing several resolutions of my computer, to look which was compatible and was a fiasco. Take care,

Worked for me using logitech webcam - Please run CPU-z app & reply how much TOTAL RAM YOURS has, & speed of processors. These appear to be falsely advertised specs?

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

In theory, you shouldn't have any problem hooking up a camcorder with HDMI for capturing. I did some digging online and someone posted a video showing that it does indeed work. (http://vimeo.com/60088887). For the second part of your question, I'm not positive if it can be streamed in real-time to Skype/Google+ since I don't do any sort of video conferencing. Hopefully, I answered this to the best of my ability for you and I apologize in advance if I didn't answer them completely. Thank you for submitting a question, though!

I am using Windows 7 with mine, but I would suggest that you go to Logitech's website and download the latest drivers. This should address any compatibility issue you are having. The Logitech website (link below) indicates that this webcam is compatible.http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32436/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzg1MDU3Njc0L3NpZC9HbkF6ZVdGbA%3D%3D

Sadly, no. I just tried it out on my Dell 3007, and I can only achieve the non-HDCP resolution of 1280x800.

We have never tried to attach a web cam but it has a USB port that works for other devices so probably but no proof.

I have never used the webcam. Sorry. Good luck and thank you for your service.

I did and it works great. If you want high Definition (HD) pctures you need HD cable and a HD subscription.

Both the webcam and speakers work fine on Windows 8.1, but for some reason the HDMI input to the speakers works better than the audio input. So if you have a graphics card with an HDMI port, use that instead of the sound port.

The Logitech HD Webcam will work on your computer, from which you send the image to your HD enabled TV. If Skype works on your computer, you can use the HD TV as a monitor. Hope that helps.

Engadget answered the question: "NO""All the cams will naturally do HD chat using Logitech's software, but they won't do it using Skype's. Skype HD requires that its certified cams have onboard video processors to offload the heavy lifting from the computer that's providing the USB port. None of Logitech's offerings deliver that. But, as more and more cams move into higher and higher megapixel territory, we wouldn't be surprised if Skype relaxes that requirement a bit."http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=628313
