QuickCam is a line of webcam video camera products by Logitech. The original QuickCam was developed by Connectix in 1994 for nationwide commercial sale and was the first widely marketed webcam-like device, although its original advertising did not use the term "webcam" or refer to the World Wide Web, then in its infancy. Video conferencing via computers already existed at the time, and client-server based video conferencing software such as CU-SeeMe was gaining popularity. Eventually, it evolved from an RS-422 connector to a parallel connector then eventually to a USB connection. It is now considered one of the top gadgets of all time.

  • QuickCam is a line of webcam video camera products by Logitech. The original QuickCam was developed by Connectix in 1994 for nationwide commercial sale and was the first widely marketed webcam-like device, although its original advertising did not use the term "webcam" or refer to the World Wide Web, then in its infancy. Video conferencing via computers already existed at the time, and client-server based video conferencing software such as CU-SeeMe was gaining popularity. Eventually, it evolved from an RS-422 connector to a parallel connector then eventually to a USB connection. It is now considered one of the top gadgets of all time. The initial model was available only for the Apple Macintosh, connecting to it via the serial port. It produced 16 shades of gray at a resolution of 320×240 pixels, and could record video at about 15 frames per second; it cost $100. The software that originally shipped with the camera included QuickMovie for recording motion pictures and QuickPICT for capturing still images. The QuickCam product line was acquired by Logitech in 1998. The company has gradually decreased support for the Macintosh platform, with only one current model officially supporting Mac or including Mac drivers. This could largely be the result of Apple building webcams into their laptop and desktop computers, negating the need for external third party devices. Many recent models implement the USB video device class standard and work under Mac OS without additional drivers. Today, Logitech QuickCam is one of the world's most recognized webcam brands. In October 2010, QuickCam was elected to Time Magazine's Top 100 Gadgets of all Time (en)
  • 快看(QuickCam)是罗技的一系列网络摄像机产品。 最初的QuickCam是在1994年开发的。这是第一款广泛销售的类网络摄像机设备,尽管它最初的广告没有使用“网络摄像机”(Webcam)这个名称,也没有提到万维网。QuickCam最初是一个在20世纪90年代初期的一个研究生学位研究项目,它最初是一个采用电荷耦合元件、RS232接口的彩色相机,可以在256 bit 色彩和16阶灰阶模式切换,在两种模式下的帧率分别是15 fps和60fps。QuickCam后来改用串行接口,最终改用USB链接。最初的型号尽可以在Apple Macintosh上使用串行接口连接使用。它在320x240分辨率下产生16阶灰阶图像并能够录制15 fps帧率的视频。售价为100美元。 最初随相机附带的软件是QuickMovie和QuickPICT,分别用于视频录制和静止图像拍摄。 在1998年,QuickCam产品线被罗技收购。罗技逐步减少了对Macintosh平台的支持,当前只有一个型号官方支持Mac,包含Mac下的驱动程序。然而许多较新的型号支持USB视频类别,不需要额外的驱动程序就可以工作在Mac OS。 StevesAntFarm.com是使用QuickCam连续运行网络摄像机时间最长的。自1995年一月开始至今。 2010年十月, QuickCam被Time Magazine选入Top 100 Gadgets of all Time排行。 (zh)

  • Apple first integrated iSight in CoreDuo Macs in the fall of 2005; Logitech dropped OS X support for the cameras in question back in the fall of 2003. The fall 2003 was also when USB-Video-Class was released as a standard. It is far more likely that the reason Logitech dropped support for non-UVC compliant cameras, was because those products were legacy. Logitech's roadmap was to sell and support USB UVC cameras. (en)
