Store, Organize and Share Photos with Slideshow and Scrapbook-style
displays
NEW YORK, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony today announced the HDMS-S1D
Digital Photo Album for shutterbugs who want to archive, organize and enjoy
slideshows of their digital photos. This compact device features an 80GB
hard drive, connects to a high definition television via HDMI and showcases
up to 50,000 high resolution photos.
The new digital photo album offers several methods for importing
photos, including multiple flash memory card formats, CD, DVD, USB or
Ethernet. Once imported, photo collections can be managed with the supplied
remote control and the device's intuitive interface.
Photos can be organized by date, special occasions such as birthdays
and travel (using pre-selected icons), or into as many as 3,000 different
photo albums -- enough for every major family milestone. The digital photo
album also provides the ability to review, edit, rotate, delete and arrange
photos for a slideshow or digital scrapbooking with Sony's x-Application(R)
features.
The photo managing x-Pict Story HD(TM) software creates professional
quality slideshows, eliminating the need for PC-based photo editing.
Slideshows can be created by selecting from 30 pre-loaded music tracks and
transition styles. For personalization, you can add up to five songs from
your own CDs. The software also allows for connection to a compatible
printer for making prints of your photos or scrapbook pages directly from
the device.
The HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album uses Sony's face detection technology
to locate faces in photographs and adjusts the slideshow transitions around
the location of faces.
When creating digital scrapbooks, the x-ScrapBook(TM) application sets
photos within scrapbook templates, and uses face detection and
event-clustering technology to make scrapbook-style layouts of photos with
a common trait like photos of children, or pictures grouped by events such
as a party or vacation.
When family or friends request copies of the photos they've seen on
your HDTV, you can select and save those photos to CD, DVD, or flash memory
card.
The HDMS-S1D Digital Photo Album will be available in October for about
$400 online at sonystyle.com, across the country at Sony Style(R) retail
stores (http://www.sonystyle.com/retail) and at authorized dealers
nationwide.
