Make It So

The ConnectHD is apparently (based on the design of the marketing material) to be a webcam first and foremost, and a screen duplication device second. This is where I get a little confused on purpose. Aside from massive conference rooms using the Cisco corporate conferencing bridge, I cannot imagine that people would want to use their television like a view screen from the starship Enterprise. The Warpia ConnectHD features a 720p webcam. Based on the stock cameras that come with many computers, including my coveted Apples, the ConnectHD's camera is an improvement. If you have a Captain Kirk complex, the ConnectHD system definitely puts you in command when speaking with the Klingons. When actually making a video call, the ConnectHD's camera shows up as a camera for Skype or Windows Live Messenger (which both are coincidentally owned by Microsoft these days), or whatever program you want to use, and just use the program in full screen mode to take up the entire screen on your HDTV.
