Sluggish presentation options: View modes and multimedia: Memory: Smartparts SPX12 LCD Digital Picture Frame has two memory card slots, one for CF cards (Compact Flash Cards) and the other for all varieties of memory sticks such as MMC, SD, xD etc. This card slot is present down the right side and the power switch is present next to the slots. It also has a mini USB port for connecting the digital photo frame directly to your PC and a full size USB port in order to use with thumb drives. Below these is the power cord jack. Below the screen, there are sensors for detecting motion and remote control commands, and are packed inside the mat. The remote control that is provided with the digital picture frame is too small and uncomfortable to use, rather, the integrated controls can be used which are more responsive. The volume can be adjusted only with the remote control and the frame does not have in it the option in the menu to control the volume. The remote control: Functioning: When you insert a card loaded with JPEG images, a choice appears on the screen for copying the images to the frame or to view them directly off the memory card. In case your choice is to copy the images, you can choose the list of images that you want to copy and also the folder in which the images are to be stored. The folder options include family, birthday, holiday, vacation, sports and general. If you make no choice after inserting the card, the SyncPix software comes into action by copying and optimising all the images and stores them in the general folder. When the import process is going on, there is a very handy count-down box indicating you certain information like the elapsed time, time remaining to complete the transfer and the amount of space left in the digital photo frame’s 256MB of internal memory. The screen allows you to have a preview of the images being stored and the folder in which they are stored. Once the transfer is completed, the images will be displayed to you in an orderly fashion. However, the manual transferring of images is also possible, but this skips the optimisation process for storing the images on the frame. You can avoid this either by using USB flash drive while not using the memory card or just decrease the resolution before you drag them to your digital frame. Smartparts SPX12 Digital Photo frame has a small basic windows only application to use with the USB connection. The main features of Smartparts SPX12 12.1″ Digital picture Frame includes automatic picture transfer, motion sensor for auto on/off, albums for organising pictures, music and video, playing pictures and video on the same slide window, auto picture rotation, 256MB internal memory, and acceptance of all popular memory cards. Main features: Display: The display is very good as the digital photo frame comes with saturated colours and appropriate brightness. The SyncPix allows you to have a lot of interesting settings such as, setting the speed at which the images are shown from a minimum of 3 seconds to a maximum of 30 seconds, number of slides on the screen at a time from one to four or a mix, volume level for the speakers, the slide show order which can be selected either as the order as they are in the album or in a random way. SPX12 also gives options for you to make a selection from the nine transition effects that are available or random or even none. The interface can not be said as entirely logical, yet is very simple to use. One of the major drawbacks of this Smartparts photo frame is that, the unit consumes a lot of time during the transfer process. It takes around two minutes per image while transferring from a CF card and around seven minutes per image when the images are loaded in SD card. As you can listen to audio tracks while the photo is moving, it is rather evident that the processor is not able to handle it as the images seem to crawl and refuse to listen to the remote control commands except for the volume controls. The small speakers perform more than expected as they sound very good. Time consuming transfers: Warranty:
