It's not a bad outcome, though, and if you're into streaming you're likely using some fairly decent hardware anyway. You'll need some beefy hardware to make your background disappear
It's because the virtual green screen relies on your PC to do it, and with CPU video encoding generally the way things are done, it puts a lot of pressure on your hardware. However, on my laptop with a Skylake Core i7 processor (with the same amount of RAM and a lesser GPU compared to my desktop) it works absolutely fine. On a desktop PC with a Haswell Core i5 processor, I couldn't get it working in Xsplit or a Hangouts video call in the browser, and with almost no success in OBS. The first is your PC, and you'll need some beef inside it to run it properly.
I say when it works because there are some caveats. It's very neat and, when it works, mostly effective. Or, if you prefer, you're able to easily add in a replacement background instead. It's all virtual, so the software, provided by Personify, will aim to detect your head and shoulders and remove everything else around it. Unlike something like the Razer Stargazer with its RealSense array, there's no fancy hardware here to make it happen. The C922 and its accompanying software allow you to replace or remove your background entirely, leaving just you as if you're in front of a green screen. But the really interesting stuff is in software, not hardware. The C922 handles low light correction a little better than the older model, with the image being a shade brighter but noticeable.Īt this point, you'd be forgiven for thinking Logitech had just given a new name, a lick of paint and a new box to its old stalwart. Logitech's own software will let you tweak brightness and contrast to give yourself a little more color.īut, given how good the C920 has been all this time, none of this is surprising. Video quality is still fantastic from Logitech, and in good light you'll look super sharp. Video-wise there are still both 720p and 1080p Full HD recording options, but new for the C922 is 60fps at 720p. Because there's nothing worse than a short cable. The C922 is almost identical to its predecessor, and that's not a bad thing.Īlso, like its predecessor you'll find an ample 6-foot USB cable poking out of the rear. If you just need a quick solution to make your voice go over the internet, you'll be well served. On either side sit omnidirectional, stereo microphones which as far as webcam mics go perform rather well. Visually the C922 is almost identical to its predecessor, save for an updated logo, a glossy black finish around the camera lens and a white glow compared to the old blue when in use.
