How Digital Photo Frame Works

• A digital photo frame is a picture frame that displays digital photos without the need to print them or use a computer. A digital photo frame consists of three main parts: the LCD-panel, the PCB and the outside frame.

• Most digital photo frame displays the photos as a slideshow with an adjustable time interval, some come with remote controls. Some networked digital photo frame models can support wireless connections.

• Most digital photo frame supports multimedia content, including JPEG, movie clips recorded in a digital camera movie mode, MPEG video files and/or MP3 audio.

• Digital photo frame typically displays the pictures directly from a memory card, which allow users to directly upload pictures from your computer or cameras to the frame's memory via a USB connection.

Digital Frame Options

• Audio: Many digital frames now have small speakers so that they can play music with sideshows or as background music. All computer files have an extension (filename.ext); be sure your digital frame plays your audio file formats. The most common audio file formats have MP3, WMA and WAV extensions.

• Video: It didn"t take long for digital frame makers to add motion to the pictures. Again, the digital frame must have the software to play your video files; AVI, ASF, DAT, MP4 and WMV formats are very common.

• Refresh Rate: A term sometimes used to denote how often the image on a digital photo frame changes. This can vary from a few seconds to several minutes; most are adjustable.

• Bluetooth: Software that allows different components to communicate with each other. If your digital frame and phone are Bluetooth-compatible, you can download directly from your camera phone to your digital frame.

• Photo software: If you have prints, you can transform them to digital photo files. You'll need a computer and scanner. Art and imaging software is also a good idea; once the photo is scanned into a digital file, imaging software allows you to color correct, remove red-eye and generally have a lot of fun adjusting your pictures to look just the way you want them. It will take some time to learn all the software features, but practice still makes perfect.

Selection of Digital Picture Frame

• LCD resolution. Most digital picture frame models show images at 430 x 234 pixels, some of newer models support higher resolutions.

• Display aspect ratio. Most of digital picture frame models support 16:9 aspect ratio now, but some of the models use stretch mode which leads to loss of resolution.

• Adjustable functions such as slide show interval, contrast, brightness, etc

• Supported multimedia formats. The more formats a digital picture frame can support, the easier you upload your files.

• Memory card type requirement. Multi-types of memory card are preferred since some of memory cards are more expensive than others.

• Remote and wireless control. You can turn on or off the digital picture frame with a remote control.
