Creative Technology Ltd., one of the leaders in digital entertainment products, recently released the Live! Cam Voice web camera with a new Directional Live! Audio technology developed for voice clarity and noise reduction during video instant messaging.

The Live! Cam Voice offers 1.3 megapixel resolutions for photo and video capture, over four times the quality of standard web cameras. Users can create still photos up to 5.0 megapixels, one of the top resolutions of any web camera available on the market.

But the latest Creative web cam includes another technology - Live! View - in order to make the most of the number of frames that are displayed per second, offering in the same time great colors and low-light performance.

"Noisy coffee shops, airports and offices are no longer an unacceptable environment for video instant messaging - the Live! Cam Voice blocks out all the distracting conversations and noise around you so you can clearly communicate wherever you are," said Dr. Jeff Stoen, general manager for cameras at Creative.

"The Live! Cam Voice features innovative dual array microphones, so even when you're in public, you can have private conversations that sound as clear as a phone call."

The great thing about this new web cam is that the manufacturer included a Creative Directional Live! Audio technology which features dual adaptive array microphones, meaning that these two microphones detect the user's voice and eliminate in the same time the background noise. This is why the users can utilize this web cam also in public spaces and it will be as they were in their own home.

But also the software features are great, such as Creative Advanced Video FX adds fun stylized video effects, and the award-winning software application SightSpeed that enables users to make the best quality video and voice calls over the Internet.

The Live! Cam Voice will be available at the end of this month at us.creative.com and on the U.S. retail market at a price of $99.
