Read MoreHide Full Article

Logitech’s (LOGI - Free Report) Mevo recently partnered with the New York-based youth sporting app GameChanger by DICK'S Sporting Goods for in-app integration. Per the deal, GameChanger users will now be able to stream high-quality, 1080p HD resolution video from a wireless Mevo Start camera with just a tap.

A member of Logitech for Creators, Mevo, has designed Start camera for longform events and can stream or record for over six hours. It is a wireless camera with app-controlled live editing, which serves over 100,000 customers generating more than 80,000 new Mevo live streams per month.

The Mevo Start camera features a high-quality HD sensor that provides excellent image quality for streaming and recording, and low-light sensitivity. It features an Ambarella H22 processor, which integrates powerful on-device video and audio processing.

With the integration of Mevo Start into GameChanger’s portfolio, the app users will be able to stream their video from anywhere using Wi-Fi, phone's hotspot and over Ethernet (plugging Ethernet adapter). They can also connect to a power source through USB-C for long streaming purposes. The camera will enable coaches and parents to easily share broadcast-quality video both from the field and court.

Logitech is benefiting from elevated demand for its products in the Gaming, Creativity & Productivity, and Video Collaboration units. Its continued focus on bolstering cloud-based video conferencing services is aiding it to robustly expand the clientele base.

The growing adoption of new mobile platforms in both mature and emerging markets is fueling the demand for the company’s peripherals and accessories. Logitech’s expanding partner base that includes Google, Microsoft and Zoom Video is key to its top-line performance. Acquisitions like Streamlabs — a leading tool provider for professional streamers, and ASTRO Gaming — a popular console gaming headset maker are major positives.

During the fiscal second quarter of 2022, Logitech’s revenues increased 4% to $1.31 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company’s third-quarter fiscal 2022 revenues is pegged at $1.51 billion, suggesting a 9.47% year-over-year decline.
