Thanks to the folks who pointed out that I typed "decode" when I meant "encode" in the following: "Originally, Logitech's higher-end webcams, such as the C920, also included dedicated MPEG processing hardware to decode the video signal..."

It now reads "encode."

Cheers, Jeff

Oh yeah, I forgot that was there. Cheers.

Two quick clarifications, for transparency: 1. I (Jeff Carlson) wasn't the submitter of the post; that was "msmash". 2. I was hired by Reincubate to write the article (my third for them), but I'm not an employee. I'm a freelance writer that covers technology and photography. The topic came about during discussions with the Reincubate folks about webcams and image quality in general. So, although the conclusions favor the company's product, the research I did stands on its own. You can see more about me at jeffcarlson.com.
