Edutain Distribution/Alien Technologies have announced a new digital photo solution under its Dazzle brand that allows consumers to share their digital snapshots in photo slideshows displayed directly on the living room television.
The new Dazzle Digital Media Reader, featuring Dazzle`s OnDVD software utility, enables consumers to quickly and easily transfer photos from a digital camera to a PC, create a photo slideshow and then burn it on a CD for playback on a DVD player. The new reader builds on SCM`s extensive experience and R&D capability in reader technology; flexibility and versatility are the outstanding characteristics of this product.
To create a slideshow, consumers eject the digital media from their digital camera and insert it into the Dazzle Digital Media Reader for a quick and easy transfer of photos to the PC. Within seconds, they can begin selecting the photos they want, arranging them on the timeline and then recording the slideshow to a CD using a CD-Recorder. Dazzle Digital Media Readers are available for all types of media including CompactFlash Type I and II, IBM Microdrive, SmartMedia, SD Card, MultiMediaCard and Sony Memory Stick.
In addition to creating a slideshow that is playable on a home DVD player, Dazzle OnDVD creates an archive of the original, high resolution digital photos on a CD-R that can be read back from the PC`s CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. These original photos act as virtual negatives and can be printed and reprinted to high quality photographic paper and framed for years of enjoyment.
"Digital cameras have become ubiquitous, but until now there has been no way to share and archive digital photos with the same ease of inserting them into a traditional hardback family album," says Voula Philippides, MD of Edutain/Alien "The Dazzle Digital Media Reader with OnDVD solves this problem. It`s a fun, easy solution that gets those digital pictures off the PC and into a slideshow that can be watched on the living room TV, or a digital album that can be archived on CD - one single device for quick and easy transfer."
The Dazzle Universal 6 in 1 Reader memory card reader runs with Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP or Mac OS 9.x.
