Panasonic DMW-SDP1 Silver digital media player

DMW-SDP1, HDTV Photo Player The Panasonic HDTV Photo Player allows users to view photos taken by SD-enabled Lumix® digital cameras in high-definition quality on a large screen TV.

Through simply connecting the SDP1 (using supplied HD component cable) to a Panasonic VIERA high-definition TV and inserting their SD/SDHC memory card into the slot, users can view their photos in 1080i high-definition quality. The compact, lightweight DMW-SDP1 differs from other photo viewers by utilizing the Venus Engine III image processing LSI, the same system found in Panasonic's acclaimed line of Lumix® cameras. The Venus Engine III affords users a quick response time by dramatically reducing start-up time and further reduces the image-to-image interval to as short as one second.

Among the other features offered on the DMW-SDP1 are a wide variety of playback options including three special transition effects to lend greater creativity to on-screen slideshows. Furthermore, in preview mode, the DMW-SDP1 provides for rapid image search, displaying up to 25 thumbnails on an index screen or calendar time-series screen. Images taken vertically are automatically rotated.

The included remote control allows the user to enjoy smooth playback of high definition images from the comfort of their easy chair and simultaneously get quick printouts by connecting the DMW-SDP1 to a Pictbridge-corresponding printer via the included USB cable.
