Kodak digital picture frames has new line of product enabling the operator to operate their digital LCD frame. Whereas many other digital display frames use a series of buttons or some touch-screen system for control of the digital frame, Kodak has figured out a way to take the best of both approaches. The quick touch border control system has a touch screen feel to it, but keeps the operator’s fingers off the digital display screen, which after all is the most valuable part of any digital picture frame.
Kodak EasyShare digital picture frames have many of the functions you find in a top end frame. When you turn on the frame and insert a memory card with digital photos, it begins showing them in a slideshow mode. But like most top end frames, Kodak digital picture frames have many configuration options like slide duration, slide show mode (shuffle, random, etc.), plus many other digital frame options like ‘auto on/off’. Digital frames usually have many other operator driven features, like the movement of digital photos from a memory card to the frame’s internal memory, other configuration settings like date, time, language, and more. All these are set by the user using a menu system.
The new system is very elegant in enabling you to operate these functions. Menu functions are driven by a touch bar that surrounds the LCD frame, and essentially blends into the frame’s border. This activates a control system that lights up on the LCD screen, and takes the user through the various menus and options. The touch border is used to reach sub-menus and functions, turn functions on/off, and configures the desired settings for the frame.
The digital frame line blends technology with style. Your fingers stay off the display screen, which after all is displaying your beautiful, clear pictures. The touch border bar is blended directly into the picture’s frame. Kodak digital frames still give the user the high tech feel of a touch screen system common with so many other user digital applications today, which makes operating these highly configurable devices seems incredibly simple.
Digital photo frames from other manufacturers with control systems of all different types: buttons, levers, touch screen, including remote controls. Each has their advantages and disadvantages, and many of them work perfectly well. There are many great digital picture frames available that don’t have Kodak’s menu system. However the Quick Touch Border system from Kodak is definitely unique, and shows real innovation from the product development team responsible for digital frames at Kodak. It’s also proving to be very popular with consumers as well.
