Kodak Digital Picture Frames And The Quick Touch Border Control System
Kodak digital frames take a innovative approach towards enabling the operator to operate their digital frame. Whereas many other digital LCD frames use a series of buttons or a touch-screen system for control of the Kodak digital picture frame, Kodak has figured out a way to take the best of both methods. The quick touch border menu system has a touch screen approach to it, but keeps the operator’s fingers off the digital display screen, which of course is the most valuable part of any digital frame.
Kodak EASYSHARE digital picture frames have many of the features you find in a top grade frame. When you turn on the frame and insert a memory device with digital pictures, it begins displaying them in a slideshow mode right away. But like many good frames, Kodak digital picture frames have many configuration settings like slide duration, slide show mode (shuffle, random, etc.), plus other digital frame options like ‘auto on/off’. Digital frames typically have many other operator driven features, like the transfer of digital pictures from a memory device 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 Kodak Quick Touch Border menu system is very elegant in enabling you to drive these functions. Menu functions are driven by a touch strip that surrounds the LCD frame, and basically blends into the frame's border. This activates a menu system that lights up on the LCD screen, and takes the user through the various menus and features. The touch border is used to select sub-menus and functions, turn features on/off, and configures the desired settings for the frame.
The brilliance of the Quick Touch Border system is that it that it blends technology with style. Your fingers stay off the display screen, which after all is displaying your crisp, clear pictures. The touch border strip is blended directly into the picture's frame. Kodak digital frames still give the user the high tech feel of a touch screen menu system familiar to so many other user applications today, which makes operating these highly configurable gadgets seems incredibly simple.
You’ll find digital frames from other manufacturers with menu systems of all different types: buttons, levers, touch displays screens, including remote controls. Each has their advantages and disadvantages, and many of them work very well. There are lots of 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 organization responsible for display frames at Kodak. It’s also proving to be very popular with consumers as well.
