Hama Press Release

Digital Picture Frame with 7 and 8 Inch Screen from Hama

Pixels instead of Paper

Special pictures have always been put on display – usually in good-looking picture frames on the wall or on the table. With the digital picture frames at the CeBIT exhibition, Hama will present two ways to perfectly display pictures from a digital camera, without using a PC or notebook.

Small in size but great in effect
The 7-inch picture frame is ideal for the desk at home. The TFT display with 640 x 480 pixels displays pictures, that have been saved to the memory card. The device is compatible with all existing common card formats. If desired, the frame can play a slide show with the photos, which can be controlled by the included remote control.

The 23 x 15.5 x 4 cm silver display unit, including power supply unit and USB cable, is available in stores for approximately 89 euros.

Naturally beautiful pictures
The larger 8-inch model provides a more brilliant display than on actual photographic paper. Pictures from the most common memory cards fill all 800 x 400 pixels of the non-reflecting TFT screen, which features one-of-a-kind lighting. Simply slide in the card and open a slide show, video or individual photo – even by using the included remote control , if desired.  The 3.5mm headphone jack provides the sound to go with the display.

The USB port gives the digital photo frame even more possibilities. You can use the USB port to connect either a photo source, such as a memory stick, or a PictBridge photo printer, which would allow the presentation to be put straight onto paper. In addition to this, the 23.5 x 16.5 x 4.5 cm digital picture frame functions as an external USB-2.0 card reader on a PC or notebook.
