Panasonic TV owners can now Skype from their large screen TVs in high-def, as the company adds the Skype service to its Viera Cast system. The process requires an added camera and works with Panasonic’s VT20, V20, G20, D28 (37- and 32-inch models) and D25 VIERA TVs.
“From today, Panasonic HDTV owners can make free Skype-to-Skype calls from their large screen TV, which means they can see family and friends on a large screen from the comfort of their living as they talk to them,” a Panasonic suit told AG.
“Skype is a new addition to Panasonic’s Viera Cast, an innovative feature on the TV which allows users to access online content directly from the living room via an Internet connection without using a computer, giving users access to YouTube, Eurosport Google’s Picasa Web Albums and many more services.”
To make a Skype video call users need to add Panasonic’s TY-CC10W HD Communication Camera, which is sold separately as an accessory and costs around £129.99.
The camera can broadcast HD pictures in 720p (based on internet connection speed) and also includes a special unidirectional microphone system that can pick up sound from couch-distance, so all members of the family can take part in conversation.
