November 2003: Lexar Media’s TV2-001 Digital Photo Player lets you view digital photos on a TV set without requiring a computer connection.
It has a card reader that accepts CompactFlash (Type I and II), SmartMedia, Memory Stick, MMC and SD cards and can display JPEG images from cameras with resolutions up to 6-megapixels. You simply plug in the card and start the slide show. Images can be rotated for right-way-up viewing and shots that haven’t ‘worked’ can be deleted from the Photo Player. It’s easy to scroll through your shots to find a wanted image or zoom in to see detail in any section of a shot.
The Photo Player can be used with both PAL and NTSC TV sets via a standard composite video connection (it comes with the necessary cable). An S-video cable is available as an option. It is available from Mittoni Australia (www.mittoni.com.au) for $165 (plus $7 delivery).
