Electronics Forum / Electronics / June 2008digital photo frames - is there a seperate controller i/face available?
Now that the digital photo frames are becoming more and more common, I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as a seperate controller interface for a standard lcd screen (VGA) that will allow the user to run a spare 15, 17, 19" monitor as a digital photo frame? Something that has a SD/USB/CF slot that will autoplay photos stored on the media and display it on the screen? I've seen many 2.5"/3.5" HDD storage cases that have this function, but I'm just after a removeable card/key media interface........... anyone know of such a beast? anyone?????? > Now that the digital photo frames are becoming more and more common, I'm > just wondering if there is such a thing as a seperate controller interface [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > anyone know of such a beast? There really isn't a big market for that sort of thing, as if you have a monitor (without composite input) you usually have a computer attached. Most HDD Media players are targeted to TV output formats, but there are a few with VGA outputs like you say. Why not simply use one without the HDD? In any case I found a non HDD one here by Googling "media player with vga output" http://www.alibaba.com/product-tp/100376397/POP_Media_Player.html Dave. >Now that the digital photo frames are becoming more and more common, I'm >just wondering if there is such a thing as a seperate controller interface [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >anyone know of such a beast? There are DVD players that have a VGA output connector and a card interface. Just run the JPEGs as a slide show ... - Franc Zabkar  SignaturePlease remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. > Now that the digital photo frames are becoming more and more common, I'm > just wondering if there is such a thing as a seperate controller interface > for a standard lcd screen (VGA) that will allow the user to run a spare 15, > 17, 19" monitor as a digital photo frame? Yep, a second video card off your computer. Then run a slideshow in it. >> Now that the digital photo frames are becoming more and more common, I'm >> just wondering if there is such a thing as a seperate controller [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Then run a slideshow in it. Hi ! Thanks for the replies...... As originally stated, I'm looking for a one-board solution (the suggestion from David Jones comes closest to the pin! but can't find an option to buy or pricing from the link provided - still waiting to hear from mfr.) A PC based, or DVD based solution wont cut it - I dont want to hang a cd player or a PC off the wall....lol It needs to be the equivalent of removing the screen from an existing digital hang-on-the-wall photo frame, minus the LCD panel.....that will allow the user to interchange panels. I've used google (not a novice here.....) and I can't find any solutions that fit the above requirements......... I still need your help! Thanks to all again....... > As originally stated, I'm looking for a one-board solution (the suggestion > from David Jones comes closest to the pin! but can't find an option to buy > or pricing from the link provided - still waiting to hear from mfr.) > > A PC based, or DVD based solution wont cut it - I dont want to hang a cd > player or a PC off the wall....lol Er, do they make vga wireless links? Then you just hand the lcd or screen on the wall and wireless linkit to a hidden PC (:-). >> As originally stated, I'm looking for a one-board solution (the >> suggestion [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Then you just hand the lcd or screen on the wall and wireless linkit to a > hidden PC (:-). hmmmmm.........not sure about that, but I'd like it totally independant of a PC - standalone....... cheers! |
