Digital frames also come in many d�cor and colors such from black, brown, white, cherry, espresso, and all kinds of wood. Soon endless new features such as variable frame decors and auto on/off features will become standard.Displaying photos in frames is virtually as old as the camera and photography itself. In fact the business and art associated with picture frames has become a huge market itself. Photo frames come in all shapes, sizes, costs, and d�cor. But until these new digital frames came along, traditional photo frames had one distinct limitation: they are static.* Internal Mechanical ShutterPhantom v1210 and v1610 Outputs and Inputs* Frame Synchronization to internal or external clock (FSYNC)* Component Viewfinder Port
Digital Photo Frames have become possible through improvements in display technology, storage and memory, and transfer methods. LCD technology has become better and cheaper, so 5-inch, 7-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 11-inch, and 12-inch size frames that are crystal clear are possible and affordable. Digital pictures can be stored and transferred via affordable SD memory cards, SmartMedia Cards, Memory Sticks, and USB flash drives. Changing pictures on your frame easily via one of these devices, sometimes wirelessly with select digital frames, is the magic of dynamically changing frames.It was only a matter of time before the world of picture frames moved into the digital age.* Full Resolution 1280 x 800 imaging* HD-SDI video outputsBoth cameras come standard with Vision Research's breakthrough CineMag interface allowing a user to save a high-speed shot from camera memory to non-volatile storage in a matter of seconds. With a CineMag mounted on the camera, a user can continue to conduct tests and experiments without the time-consuming task of downloading large amounts of data over Ethernet.If you�re looking for a gift for someone interested in photography, a digital frame again is a great new gadget for them. Those interested in art, travel, or any other hobby that has allowed them to collect many pictures of their passion will also be excited about owning a new device that lets them display these pictures in new ways with ease. Graduation gifts, Mother�s Day gifts, Father�s Day gifts, Anniversary gift, or any other type of gift for which you would normally consider giving a framed photo can now be significantly enhanced by utilizing a digital picture frame instead. These digital photo displays provide all the benefits of a picture based gifts, but do it in new and exciting ways.The v1210 can be configured with 12GB, 24GB, or 48GB of memory, and the v1610, with 24GB, 48GB, or 96GB of memory. That memory can be segmented into as many as 63 partitions and allows continuous shooting of back-to-back shots without the need for constant downloading. The cameras offer 12-bit pixel depth standard.The Wayne, N.J. based company prides itself on the unsurpassed light-sensitivity, image resolution, acquisition speed, and image quality produced by its systems, as well as robust software interfaces, reliability and versatility of its camera family - all which continue to stand as benchmarks for the highspeed digital imaging industry. Known for its innovations in high-speed digital camera technology and sensor design, Vision Research has received numerous research and development awards and was recently honored with an Emmy Award for its revolutionary technology and engineering.Camera ControlVision Research designs and manufactures high-speed digital imaging systems used in applications including defense, automotive, engineering, science, medical research, industrial manufacturing and packaging, sports and entertainment, and digital cinematography for television and movie production.Digital photo frames have greatly improved our ability to display digital pictures in our living spaces. These LCD display devices are slowly replacing traditional frames and making it easier to show off digital pictures. As the quality of display screens improves, more usability features are added, and prices drop digital picture frames will only increase in popularity, just as flat screen LCD and HDTVs slowly replaced traditional CRT ones. There�s too much digital media in the form of photographs stuck on computers on memory devices waiting to be freed, and digital frames are an affordable and fast way to do so.Additional HighPerformance Features:* Nikon F-mount lens connection with Canon EOS, PL, and C mounts availablePhantom CineMag Workflow* Image-Based Auto-TriggerThe fact is digital picture frames have become excellent gifts, especially for those looking in the consumer electronics category. They are still relative new on the electronics scene, meaning there�s a good chance your recipient doesn�t have one. Digital frames are a useful gadget for a wide variety of gift recipients. Obviously younger consumers love gadgets and will enjoy getting the hottest in digital devices. However gift recipients in any target age range can make use of digital frames because they all likely display photos in their home or office, and have probably entered the digital photography age. Digital frames are generally easy to use and designed for even the least technically savvy.For now, if you are looking for the perfect consumer electronics or photography related gift, a
digital photo frame may be a perfect choice.Both cameras are based on Vision Research proprietary sensors offering not only high speeds, but larger 28-micron pixels that allow for superior sensitivity when shooting in low light, which is often a problem with high-speed imaging. The v-Series additions make possible image capture at more than 12,000 fps (12 gigapixels/second) in full resolution when utilizing the v1210, and more than 16,000 fps (16 gigapixels/second) when the v1610 is called into action. If higher speeds are needed, reduced resolution images are available up to 650,000 fps or up to 1,000,000 fps when the FAST option is used.
