Digital photography, home entertainment, gaming and more...
DigitalLife Expo 09 will feature five, free 45 minute-long workshops:
* Digital photography: get photo-smart and take your digital photos to the next level. Learn the basics of taking good digital photos, including artificial and natural lighting techniques, positioning and subject matter as well as the basics of digital editing. Also, see the latest digital cameras and photo printers in action.
* Digital content: manage your digital content and turn your PC into a home media centre. Find out how to manage your digital photos, images, music, videos and movies. Learn how to compress the data, change file formats and transfer between media - from laptop to handheld devices. Understand the basics of media players and software, including iPods, iTunes, Windows Media Player and MP3 players and watch live demonstrations using this technology.
* Home entertainment: experience high-definition up close and personal in this workshop which explores Blu-ray, DSTV's high-definition offering and a range of high-definition digital media devices, like MVix. Get tips on what makes for a high quality, home cinema experience, including hints on the best hardware and methods for connecting it all, and compare SD and HD on the spot.
* Home automation: find out all you need to know about automating your home from our successful case study - a homeowner who has implemented an entire home automated system, from security to appliance control. Discover the options, differences between and cost of various automated products and learn how to automate your home in a phased approach. Explore home automation in existing and new buildings and realise the full potential of this new technology.
* Gaming: so much more than just entertainment! Watch live demonstrations by an independent gaming authority, showcasing the capabilities of the Sony PS3, Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii. What makes one system better than another? What games are available for the different platforms? We will help answer all your gaming questions.
