Whats really interesting is this camera is marketed for professional use .... i.e. webinar and gaming. From my perspective I'd go crazy trying to hold still during a webinar
So, this is separately installed software? Or is it software inside the Logitech software? It sounded like you said "Personify" was the name of the background replacement. I found Personify ChromaCam at personify.com - Personify | Teleportation which touts "Magically replace the background in your favorite webcam video app. No green screen needed. Works with communication apps like Skype and Google Hangouts or game broadcasters like XSplit and OBS". Doesn't seem to be hardware specific. Would this work with the 920? Not that I would use it as it appears that ManyCam does a better job.
Lon McClure Yes separate downloaded software but I didn't know it was available as a stand alone package. I've no idea if it will work with the C920 or not. I agree that ManyCam seems to be better but ManyCam requires an actual green screen doesn't it?
I just tried it with ManyCam and it looks like it installs a virtual camera through which video stream is filtered. The 922 may be optimized for this function (faster pre-processing?) but probably not required. That said, the licensing that you get with the 922 may be further reaching than the free version that I downloaded.I'm dumping it as it just adds another process and does not seem to improve on what I already have. Thanks for taking the time to present it!
ManyCam works best with a solid color background (green is best because there is no green in skintone colors (except martians). But any color can work as well as mixed background (but not as well as a solid color - especially green).

ReplyDeleteSheila Hensley I haven't tried it but I doubt it as it would also remove the actual green screen from the background.

ReplyDeleteHere's the dialog for using ChromaCam after installation of free for life executable. Haven't tried it yet as I'm not currently setup with a webcam.

ReplyDeleteThat is same set up screen that the C922 shows - interesting.
