Kodak Digital Photo Frames and the Quick Touch Border Menu System

Kodak digital photo frames take a unique approach towards enabling the owner to operate their digital frame. Whereas many other digital frames use a series of buttons or a touch-screen system for control of the digital frame, Kodak has introduced a way to take the best of both approaches. 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 picture frame.

Kodak EASYSHARE digital picture frames have many of the functions you find in a top end frame. When you turn on the frame and insert a memory device with digital photos, it begins showing them in a slideshow mode right away. But like many great frames, Kodak digital picture frames have many configuration settings like picture duration, slide show mode (shuffle, random, etc.), plus other digital frame options like ‘auto on/off'. Digital frames usually have many other owner driven features, like the transfer of digital photos from a memory device to the frame's internal memory, other configuration settings like date, time, language, and many more. All these are set by the operator using a menu system.

The Kodak Quick Touch Border menu system is very stylish in enabling you to drive these feature. Menu functions are driven by a touch strip that surrounds the Kodak digital picture frame, and basically blends into the frame's border. This activates a menu system that lights up on the LCD screen, and takes the operator through the frame menus and features. The touch strip is used to reach sub-menus and functions, turn functions on/off, and set the desired settings for the frame.

The beauty of the Quick Touch Border control 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 frames still give the operator the high tech feel of a touch screen system familiar to so many other user applications today, which makes operating these highly configurable gadgets seems incredibly simple.

You'll find digital photo frames from other manufacturers with menu systems of all different types: buttons, levers, touch screen, including remote controls. All have their advantages and disadvantages, and many of them work perfectly well. There are many great digital picture frames available that don't have Kodak's menu system. However the Quick Touch Border control system from Kodak is definitely unique, and shows definite innovation from the product development team responsible for LCD frames at Kodak. It's also proving to be a big hit with consumers as well.
