Kodak Enhances Digital Picture Frame Portfolio, Adding a New Dimension to the Photo Sharing Experience
Thursday 27. March 2008 - Latest Additions to Family of Frames Boast New Quick Touch Border and a Range of Features for Simple Sharing of Pictures and Videos
Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE:EK) today announced an enhanced Digital Picture Frame portfolio that will bring consumers a more personalized and intuitive picture viewing experience. Available in 10-inch and 8-inch multimedia, and 7-inch standard photo versions, these sleek and stylish frames host a suite of features including the newly announced Quick Touch Border, as well as accessories for enhancing your home.
— Control of the frame has never been easier with Quick Touch Border that
allows for simple operation with a touch or slide of your finger, while
leaving the screen fingerprint and smudge-free.
— Transferring pictures from your PC to your KODAK EASYSHARE Digital
Picture Frame is even more effortless with the new KODAK EASYSHARE
Digital Display Software. In addition to organizing and editing your
pictures, this software makes it easy to move your favorite pictures
and slideshows from a computer directly onto the frame.
— Kodak’s Digital Picture Frames display images in HD format (16:9 aspect
ratio). The screens are color tuned to Kodak’s standards and use KODAK
Color Science for vibrant colors and pleasing skin tones-displaying
pictures in brilliant color and crisp detail.
“Kodak’s acclaimed and industry-leading Digital Picture Frames let consumers bring their favorite memories to life, releasing them from a computer and displaying them in brilliant quality in the home or office,” said John Blake, general manager Digital Capture and Devices, Vice President, Eastman Kodak Company. “With the addition of Quick Touch Border, Kodak has made the consumer experience even more intuitive and engaging.”
To customize the frame to match your home’s décor, two decorative mattes are included, in Cranberry Red and Silver colors. In addition, optional KODAK Digital Frame Faceplates are available in Mahogany with a gold matte, Silver with a blue matte, Black Shadowbox with a champagne matte, and Espresso Shadowbox with a black matte. Easy to change, the faceplates snap onto the frame and update the look to suit your own personal style.
